Behind-the-wheel instruction
['Entry-Level driver training', 'Commercial drivers license CDL']

- Behind-the-wheel instruction is required for drivers seeking a Class A or Class B CDL. There is no required minimum number of instruction hours for behind-the-wheel (range and public road) training, but the training instructor must cover all topics set forth in the behind-the-wheel curriculum.
Training must be conducted in the class of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in which the driver-trainee will be taking the Class A or Class B skills/road test. A simulation device may not be used to conduct the training or demonstrate proficiency.
The instructor must determine and document that each driver-trainee has demonstrated proficiency in all elements of the behind-the-wheel curriculum.
Training instructors must document the total number of clock hours each driver-trainee spends to complete the behind-the-wheel curriculum.
