During the course of your basic truck driver training, you will have some time to spend on the range behind the wheel of a big rig. This portion of the CDL program allows you to apply what you have learned in the classroom sessions while learning the driving skills necessary to pass the CDL skills test.

The training ground for your practice runs will take place on a driving range near the trucking school facility. You will have access to different training trucks. These trucks are similar to what you will be operating after you begin an entry level trucking job.

To ensure you have the right tools to work with, the training trucks available are composed of the widely used trailers. They have 53-foot as well as 48-foot dry vans. These box trailers also come with special brakes intended for training use and 10-speed transmissions.

Learning how to drive big rigs is a challenge not everyone can easily manage. With the help of the tractors from Volvo, Freightliner and International, you can familiarize yourself with the different components and integral parts of the training trucks to master your driving skills.
