CDL Training for the Tractor Trailer- Class A
Why is CDL training so important?
Today’s state testing requirements for obtaining a CDL are getting tougher and tougher. Getting proper training for a CDL from truck driver training professionals is vital to passing the state CDL test. Good training also increases the chances that you’ll be a safety conscious CDL driver. At Kings Empire Academy, we have high standards and expectations for our truck driving students and our instructors.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Act of 1986 created the CDL standards to ensure each state was licensing commercial drivers in a similar fashion. To comply with these standards, training for a CDL at Kings Empire Academy includes a combination of classroom training and behind the wheel training on a private driving range as well as road & highway driving. All training is conducted in accordance with standards for the CDL skills test administered by a state authority at the completion of school.
