COURSE DESCRIPTION:
With a national and local CDL driver shortage, trucking companies are hiring! Local, regional and national employers cannot find enough commercial drivers.

LFCC Workforce Solutions offers Entry Level Driver Training to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License. Training is tailored to meet the requirements of the Entry Level Driver Training rule, which will mandate all CDL candidates attend a certified CDL school prior to the taking their skills test with the DMV. 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 shifting, speed and space management, and many other control topics. Upon satisfactory completion of the required curriculum and a demonstration of the skill set needed to pass the DMV exam, the DMV skiils test wil be scheduled. Once students pass the skills exam they will receive a student transcript and a Certificate of Completion.

LFCC offers both full and part-time training programs. Fulltime runs Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm for approximately six weeks. Part-time runs Saturday & Sunday, 8am-5pm for approximately twelve consecutive weekends. During training, multiple recruiters will hold recruiting sessions and student coordinators will provide job placement assistance to each student.

WHAT IS EXPECTED:
Students are expected to dedicate themselves to the program with regular, on-time attendance. Due to the accelerated nature of this program, both classroom and hands-on, it is imperative that students 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 will be expected to adhere to the same timely schedule to ensure a foundation of good work habits are set prior to entering the workforce. Poor/uncceptable attendance may result in dismissal from the program and/or failure to obtain a license.

CERTIFICATION:
