FASTFORWARD COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVING
CVCC Workforce Solutions offers Entry Level Driver Training to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License. Training is tailored to meet the new FMCSA regulation requiring all entry-level CDL drivers, or existing Class B drivers looking to upgrade to a Class A, complete a specific program by a school on the Training Provider Registry. Students will participate in classroom, range and On-The-Road Training. Classroom training will cover topics such as basic control, safe operating procedures, distracted driving, hazard perception, vehicle systems and much more. Range training consists of Pre-Trip Inspection, Straight Line Backing, Off-Set Backing, and Parallel Parking, all of which are required to pass the DMV skills test. On-The-Road training covers speed and space management, and many other control topics. Our program uses automatic transmission trucks. Upon satisfactory completion of the required curriculum and a demonstration of the skill set needed to pass the DMV exam, the DMV skills test will be scheduled. Once students pass the skills test and their CDL is issued, they will receive a Certificate of Completion.
CVCC offers Weekday and Weekend training programs:
WEEKDAY PROGRAM runs Mondays-Thursdays, 7:00 am-5:30 pm for four weeks.
WEEKEND PROGRAM runs Saturdays & Sundays, 7:00 am-5:30 pm for eight consecutive weekends.
During training, multiple recruiters will hold recruiting sessions to discuss career opportunities.
WHAT IS EXPECTED:
Students are expected to dedicate themselves to the program with consistent, on-time attendance for the duration of the weekday/weekend program. Due to the accelerated nature of this program, both classroom and hands-on, it is imperative that students regularly attend class daily and on time. The trucking industry is logistic based and requires its drivers to deliver goods in a timely manner, so we can’t recommend a student to an employer if they had an attendance issue. Within the program, students must adhere to the same timely schedule to ensure a foundation of good work habits are set prior to entering the workforce.
Poor/unacceptable attendance/performance may result in (1) dismissal from the program, (2) repayment of $1,500 if they received FastForward funding and ultimately, (3) failure to obtain a CDL License.
