Not everyone wants a four-year college degree. Many people are looking for practical careers that provide strong income, real job opportunities, and skills that are always in demand.

Two of the most reliable paths into the skilled trades today are:

• Commercial Truck Driving (CDL Class A)

• Heavy Equipment Operations

At National Training Schools, students have the opportunity to train for both industries through our CDL Class A ELDT Program and our Heavy Now Heavy Equipment Training Program.

Both programs are designed to move students quickly into the workforce with the hands-on skills employers expect.

CDL Class A ELDT Training

The trucking industry moves the American economy. Nearly everything you see in stores, warehouses, and construction sites arrives by truck.

Because of the importance of safety and professionalism in trucking, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) now requires Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for new CDL drivers.

This means anyone seeking a Class A Commercial Driver’s License must complete training through a provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.

National Training Inc. provides CDL Class A ELDT training that prepares students for both the CDL skills test and real-world trucking careers.

Students Learn:

• Pre-trip vehicle inspections

• Backing maneuvers including straight line, offset, and alley dock

• Coupling and uncoupling procedures

• Defensive driving techniques

• Highway and city driving

• Federal safety regulations

Training includes both classroom instruction and real driving experience, allowing students to develop confidence behind the wheel.

Many graduates move directly into positions with regional and national carriers.
