Q How large is your average classroom size?
A On average there will be six to nine students at a time in the classroom.
Q How many days will I be in the classroom?
A This is where our classes differ greatly from other schools. Each student can expect to spend a portion of each day in in each training section. This way the student isn’t sitting in a classroom all day or in a truck all day either. Breaking up these training sessions give a student time to absorb the new information in-between sections. This keeps students more involved and more likely to learn the needed information.

A This depends on the course you choose and your individual needs. However, our regular classes run Monday thru Thursday. We start at 7:00am and stay until 5:00pm.

Q Do I have to have a DOT Physical to start the course?
