Obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with Training from Professional Skills Institute!
Heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers with a commercial driver's license (CDL) transport goods from one location to another. Driver schedules can vary widely depending on the type of route they travel. Drivers can travel local routes that can be completed within a day, or they can be assigned to longer trips that span several states and require several days on the road. Commercial drivers are required to adhere to state and federal safety regulations, and perform a variety of functions aside from driving. Drivers are responsible for securing cargo for transport, inspecting their vehicles before and after a trip, identifying and reporting mechanical problems, and maintaining a log of their hours.
Most commercial drivers work for transport companies, but some may own or lease their own tractor-trailers and work for themselves.
At Professional Skills Institute, you will gain valuable tools and training including:
Introduction and Basic Operation
This course begins by preparing students for the written portion of the CDL test, which is required to obtain a CDL Learner's Permit, which is necessary for the on-road portion of the program. In addition, students will begin hands-on practice, in our driving range, with commercial vehicles, including vehicle inspections and practice backing, parking, and basic driving skills.
