October 29, 2024

INA, Ill. (October 29, 2024)—Truck driving is one of the fastest-growing industries today. There is a constant demand for over-the-road drivers and is one of the few occupations where students who complete training are almost certain to go to work immediately.

Rend Lake College has trained over 1,200 drivers since 1990 and is an entry level driver training (ELDT) approved program for new and renewed Class A and B CDL with flexible training to fit your schedule.

Students receive hands-on training from experienced instructors in model tractor-trailers. Individuals will test at the completion of the program to receive their CDL.

About Class A Training: This certificate is designed to prepare students for a career as a Truck Driver. Career opportunities exist in the field of truck driving, including intrastate and interstate. Learning will occur in the classroom and in a tractor-trailer. The Illinois Secretary of State’s Commercial Driver’s Class A License Pre-Trip, Skills and Road Examinations will be administered.

About Class B Training: Hands-on instruction to improve skills and techniques utilized in the operation of a class B (heavy straight) vehicle. Instruction will include pre-trip inspection, backing, shifting and cornering techniques. The Illinois Secretary of State’s Class B Commercial Driver’s License Pre-Trip, Skills and Road Examinations will be administered at the conclusion of this course.
