['Entry-Level driver training', 'Commercial drivers license CDL']
- For drivers trying to obtain a Class A or Class B CDL, behind-the-wheel range training is part of the process.
Behind-the-wheel range training is provided by a behind-the-wheel instructor when an entry-level driver has actual control of the power unit during a driving lesson conducted on a range. Behind-the-wheel range training does not include time an entry-level driver spends observing the operation of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) when that driver is not in control of the vehicle.
Behind-the-wheel range training must teach driving exercises related to basic vehicle control skills and mastery of basic maneuvers necessary to operate the vehicle safely. The training provider must teach “Get Out and Look” (GOAL) to the driver-trainee as it applies to various range training topics.
The required range training topics are:
- Vehicle inspection pre-trip/en route/post-trip
- Straight-line backing
- Alley dock backing (45/90-degree)
- Off-set backing
- Parallel parking, blind side
- Parallel parking, sight side
- Coupling and uncoupling (Class A only)
