Commercial Vehicle Operator A Class, Continuing Education Certificate

Commercial vehicle operation is an important component of the Transportation, Distribution and Logistics industry. This training prepares students to test for a Maryland CDL-A license.

Commercial drivers of tractor trailers provide local daily service or make intercity and interstate trips that are longer and vary from job to job. Heavy truck and tractor trailer drivers may spend most of their time behind the wheel, but may be required to load or unload their cargo upon arrival at their final destination. They often travel at night and on holidays and weekends to avoid traffic delays and deliver cargo on time. Drivers conduct pre-trip vehicle inspections and must report to the dispatcher any equipment that is inoperable, defective or missing. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires drivers to keep a log of their activities, including the condition of the truck, hours of service and the circumstances of any accidents.
