C1 Truck Driver Training has been training drivers for more than 35 years. With three campus locations throughout the country, C1 is a leader in quality training for new drivers, and their courses meet the new Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements set by the FMCSA.
Along with classroom instruction, the campuses at C1 Truck Driver Training also have driving ranges that allow students to practice skills in a safe, controlled environment.
C1 Truck Driver Training – Class A, Class B and HazMat
C1 offers instruction for Class A and Class B licenses as well as HazMat theory. Their facilities are staffed by experienced instructors who have worked in the trucking industry.
Class A
C1 offers driver training for Class A CDLs that meets current requirements.
Here’s how the Class A training program works:
- Classroom training: The program starts in the classroom. Training focuses on the regulations and laws that CDL drivers must follow. It also covers map reading, driver logs, trip planning, basic vehicle controls and more. Interactive presentations and videos are used to cover the topics.
- Hands-on training: Next, students move to the school’s driving range for hands-on training. The driving range allows students to master skills in a tractor-trailer, including backing techniques, turning and shifting.
- Street training: Next, students take their skills to the road. Certified instructors will accompany students as they put their skills to practice on local streets and highways near the campus.
Once completing these three phases, students will be prepared to take the CDL A test.
Class B
C1 also offers training for Class B licenses. The in-person, two-week course is available at any C1 campus location. Class sizes are small to ensure all class requirements are met and students can master the hands-on skills needed to comply with Entry-Level Driving Training (ELDT).
A Class B License allows you to operate:
- Buses
- Dump trucks
- Straight trucks
- Garbage trucks
- Delivery trucks
- Cement mixers
HazMat CDL Training
Along with Class A and Class B training, C1 also offers a HazMat theory online. The course meets the requirements for the theory instruction drivers need to take the knowledge test.
The course consists of 12 units that cover compliance and safety information. Students are quizzed after each unit and at the end of the program. To pass the course, students need to obtain a score of 80% or higher.
Those who pass the test will be permitted to take the official knowledge test to obtain a HazMat endorsement.
