There And Back Again
Almost everything we use is moved across the country by truck. UBTech offers three Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) certificates: Commercial Driver’s License – Class A, Commercial Driver’s License – Class B, and Advanced Energy Transportation.
Commercial Driver’s License – Class A prepares students with the skills they need to join the professional truck driving industry. Students will learn how to drive single trailers, including standards for transporting hazardous materials. They will be trained in logbook and map reading, accident procedures, backing, cargo documentation, control systems, coupling, and uncoupling, space management, shifting, vehicle inspection, vehicle systems, hours of service, recognizing and reporting malfunctions, and visual search. The course also includes a DOT physical exam for CDL and drug screening. After receiving a Learners’ Permit, students can participate in “over-the-road” training to earn their license. There is a shortage of licensed professional truck drivers, and graduates will be prepared to gain employment in this high-demand profession.
Commercial Driver’s License – Class B program prepares students with the skills and knowledge needed to drive vehicles weighing over 26,000 pounds without a towed unit. (i.e., bus, dump truck, box truck, etc.) Preparation for various Class B endorsements available.
Advanced Energy Transportation teaches students how to transport live loads, identify different types of long combination vehicles (LCV), and the coupling and uncoupling process of LCV. The student will experience the loading and unloading process on simulated and live production sites and will be introduced to the basic principles of buying oil. Students will receive training to test for the required hazmat.
Graduates are prepared with the skills and licensure to enter the high-demand field of professional truck driving. Job placement is available locally as well as nationwide.
