CDL Training Programs Available in Bridgeport, CT
To become a licensed commercial truck driver, students must take and pass the commercial driver’s license (CDL) exam to earn their CDL. One way to prepare for the CDL exam is to enroll in CDL career training from an FMCSA-registered training provider. The CDL training programs at NETTTS teach students the skills necessary to pass their CDL exams.
Students can earn different CDLs, which allow them to drive specialized vehicles. NETTTS provides training for two CDL types:
- Class-A CDL: This license allows you to drive commercial vehicles with a gross combination weight of 26,001 pounds or more or towed units with more than 10,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight.
- Class-B CDL: This type of license lets truckers operate commercial vehicles with 26,001 pounds or more of gross vehicle weight or tow vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds.
During their CDL exam, students must know how to drive commercial vehicles on both local roads and highways. While training at our campus, students gain hands-on experience driving these road types, as well as different routes and traffic patterns.
They can also practice their driving skills with our fleet of tractor-trailer combinations and heavy straight trucks, each with five- to 10-speed transmissions. We have five acres of paved space right next to our campus, which students use to learn maneuvering and backing. Students will also gain experience on real roads and highways throughout Connecticut, like I-95, Route 8, Route 25, and I-91.
Our CDL training programs include both classroom and behind-the-wheel training. All our campuses have a training staff of around 40 instructors, meaning students can learn from a variety of experienced CDL instructors. We also have a resource room where students can research, study, take practice tests, and use our truck-driving simulator.
