THE BEST EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING

- Both weighted & empty road trailers, so you get the experience of driving with a load and taking a truck through scales.
- One truck per two students whenever possible.
- Training on Class A Vehicles with Air Brakes
- Training is done in a real trucking terminal as well as in our parking lot, which is among the biggest of such lots in the Chicago area

TRAINING OVERVIEW
Our tractor-trailer driving programs are a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on training. These programs familiarize you with tractor-trailer systems and components. You will learn to conduct an efficient pre-trip inspection in accordance with CDL requirements and become proficient in troubleshooting minor mechanical problems.
Students are also taught to couple/uncouple a tractor-trailer and develop the backing skills necessary to pass the Commercial Driver’s License test.
The focus of these courses is on the safe and proper handling of semi tractor-trailers, both in restricted areas and on public streets and highways.
Students are exposed to many different driving situations, such as two-lane roads and highways.
