In this course, students improve their operating skills required for the day-to-day demands of the career. Students examine the truck driver's role as a professional. Students apply transportation rules and regulations as they relate to safety, special rigs, and hazardous material. Students must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) to successfully complete the course.

In this course, students practice driving skills in anticipation of obtaining a commercial driver's license (CDL). Students enhance their skills by driving in a variety of situations and environments they will encounter as a professional driver. They investigate topics related to trip planning, loading procedures, weight distribution techniques, and security issues. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to properly inspect and safely operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in controlled settings.

In this course, students examine laws related to the commercial driver's license (CDL) and the operation of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). Through simulation and hands-on learning experiences, students explore vehicle systems, inspect and operate a CMV safely, and investigate the operations of a tractor semi-trailer. By the completion of the course, students must obtain a CDL instruction permit.
