Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) Program – Class B CDL

Provided by Bradway Trucking & Truck School

The comprehensive training includes actual road practice, with pickups and deliveries of 80,000 lb. loads through hilly terrain. Instructors take students through a 3/10- mile course that simulates actual traffic situations ─ teaching skills like tight right and left turns, up and down shifting, and maneuvering a 48- to 53-foot trailer around corners and between other vehicles ─ all skills drivers will need to work in the industry. Once students become proficient at basic backing skills, they practice genuine dock backing between trailers, with real traffic associated with a truck terminal.
