The student will spend three weeks consisting of 60 hours in the classroom developing the knowledge to take and pass the CDL permit state test, gaining an in-depth understanding of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules and regulations, becoming conversant with the hours of service regulations and how to fill out log books, mapping and trip planning, and reviewing CSA2010 and driving techniques, situations and safety. The seven-week vehicle operations portion of the course consists of a minimum of 10 hours per week of behind the wheel operation of a tractor trailer unit on city streets, rural roads, primary highways and interstate settings.
