Process
TopOur Class A and Class B CDL training teaches the driving skills to students with various backgrounds and education levels. Every week, we start a new class full of folks who have never even sat inside an eighteen wheeler. Our no nonsense approach to teaching truck driving skills gives student drivers the knowledge and confidence to succeed.
There's more to our truck driving school than just trucks and classrooms. Our experienced staff of Class A and Class B CDL instructors and school administrators understand the job of a professional truck driver because they've all been OTR truck drivers or spent years working in the trucking industry.
Classroom
TopYour truck driving training experience has to start somewhere, and at C1 we begin in a classroom setting. The CDL classroom is enhanced by hands-on activities and multimedia presentations. Class A and Class B CDL instructors that lead the lectures have years of experience as truck drivers and understand the industry. In the truck driver school classroom, you'll learn map reading, logging, trip planning, and other essential CDL skills.
Range
TopC1 Springfield offers a well-organized, closed driving range where students can learn and practice basic maneuvers with a semi in a safe, supervised environment. Students will learn shifting techniques, coupling the trailer, backing skills, left and right turn techniques, and the pre-trip inspection of a truck. The CDL instructors on the driving range emphasize the skills needed to pass the Class A or Class B CDL skills test at the end of truck driving training. Instructors will work with students on specific skill sets until they're confident. Training trucks in the C1 Springfield fleet are well-maintained, conventional vehicles like the ones you'll work with when you're out on the road.
Road
TopOnce you learn the basics, it's time to put them to practice on local roads and interstates. When you hit the road with a Class A or Class B CDL instructor by your side, you'll put everything you've learned so far into practice while working on defensive driving skills, turning techniques, and using commentary methods while driving. You'll get ample time behind the wheel as you get more comfortable and confident controlling the truck. Safety and confidence go hand-in-hand, so C1 works hard to make sure that your truck driving training experience is positive and helpful.
