Hour Breakdown

Where the 160 Hours Go

~20 Hours

Behind-the-wheel driving instruction, one-on-one with an instructor.

~20 Hours

Skills & range training at our Zion yard — backing, parking, and pre-trip inspection drills.

~20 Hours

Observation time riding along and learning from real driving scenarios.

Remaining Hours

Classroom instruction, pre-trip inspection prep, and exam-readiness review.

The Process

CLP → Range → Road → Exam

  • Step 1 — CLP Written Exam. You'll study and pass the Commercial Learner's Permit written test before hands-on training begins.
  • Step 2 — Range & Skills Training. Practice backing, parking, and pre-trip inspection at our Zion training yard until it's second nature.
  • Step 3 — Behind-the-Wheel Road Training. Get real seat time driving with an instructor in a Class A tractor.
  • Step 4 — Final Exam. Pre-trip inspection, parking/backing skills, and the road test — the same structure as your state CDL exam.

A Typical Training Day

What to Expect Day to Day

Days generally open with a classroom or safety briefing, move into hands-on range or road time, and close with a debrief on what to work on next. Because scheduling is flexible, exact day-to-day timing is built around your availability — ask your enrollment coordinator for the current week's schedule.

English support built into every session

Basic English is enough to enroll. Instructors reinforce the exact vocabulary and phrases used on the CDL exam so non-native speakers walk in prepared and confident.

Before You Start

Check age, license, and DOT physical requirements before enrolling.
