Are you ready to become a truck driver? OBC is here to help. We offer a mix of classroom safety and hands-on driving experience to prepare you for the CDL Class A skills exam. OBC understands that students need extensive hands-on training to build confidence in their driving skills before they complete the CDL driving test. Let’s look at OBC’s focus on hands-on driving.

OBC’s Focus on Hands-On Driving Experience in CDL Training

We all know that practice makes perfect. To become a truck driver, you will need many hours of driving experience behind the wheel of a big rig to prepare for the job and pass the CDL exam. At OBC, we understand that hands-on driving experience is critical to your success. In addition to classroom lectures, we get you behind the wheel of a semi-truck so you can practice your driving skills in different environments and unique driving situations. We will expose you to every possible driving situation so you are confident when you take your CDL exam. There are many benefits to our focus on hands-on driving experience.

What are the Benefits of Attending OBC’s Truck Driving Academy?

OBC focuses a significant part of the Truck Driving training behind the wheel. This offers students many benefits that include:

4-Week Training Program

Did you know you can complete the Truck Driving program in as little as 4 weeks? Before you know it, you will drive down the road, traveling to new cities and enjoying the open road. During the 4-week training program, you learn the fundamentals of truck driving, safety, and communication to become a successful truck driver.

Being Safe on the Road

In the classroom, you learn about the rules, regulations, and traffic laws on and off the road. Some of these rules include required home time, maximum drive time hours, electronic logging, drug testing, and licensing requirements.

Getting Behind the Wheel

At OBC, you get plenty of driving practice. From city traffic to the open road, you will test your skills on different terrain, multiple weather conditions, and alongside unique vehicles. Again, practice makes perfect, so we offer plenty of practice behind the wheel so you are ready for your CDL driving exam.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the projected demand for heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers is nine percent in the next 10 years. Many truck drivers will be retiring, leaving companies with a need for highly trained truck drivers.
