Professional Truck Driver Training

Transportation

Northeast Community College is offering an intensive Class A CDL training course in 240 hours! The course is ELDT (Entry Level Driver Training) compliant. The Professional Truck Driver Training program prepares the entry-level students for the safe operation of Class A commercial vehicles. Students will receive instruction in basic operations, safe operating procedures, advanced operating practices, vehicle systems, and non-driving activities such as trip planning, environmental compliance, cargo handling, hours of service, and more. Hands-on training includes both range and public-road training in a Class A commercial vehicle, covering vehicle inspection, backing, shifting, speed and space management, and other critical driving skills. You will need a DOT Physical, CLP (Commercial Learner’s Permit) (no K restriction for out-of-state residence), and a DOT drug screen before the start of class. Students must have their CLP prior to registering for the class. A CASAS test will be provided, if necessary, through Adult Education. The DOT Drug Screen must be done after you have acquired your CLP, but within 30 days of the start of the class. Bring the results with you on the first day of the class. The class will be held in Norfolk or South Sioux City. The CDL drive test fee is included in the course. Requirements: Students must be 18 years of age, have a valid Nebraska driver’s license and a CLP to take this course (21 years of age if the student has a valid driver’s license and a CLP from another state). Students are also cautioned that the physical requirements for a Commercial Driver License must be consistent with the standards of the United States Department of Transportation. Tuition does not include the cost of the license, clearinghouse fee, DOT drug screen, CLP (no K restriction for out-of-state residents), and books and supplies. The required drug/alcohol testing includes pre-admittance, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing. Click on Register to find more details about each class.
