Class A CDL - On the Job Training

Joe was one of our first students that participated in the On-the-Job training portion of our program. He was paired with Ray, a driving trainer for REI/Korten. His on-the-job training took him to Cleveland Ohio which was about a 170 mile round trip. They left Romeo at 4am and returned to REI/Korten at 4:45pm.

“Ray was great. He gave me the option to drive first or observe first. Because it was dark, it was a new truck and a loaded trailer I decided to let Ray drive first. I was able to watch what Ray was doing which was very beneficial. When I decided I was ready to drive, Ray let me complete the drive to the first stop and alley dock. It was a great experience. I was able to experience different road conditions. Ray gave me pointers throughout the trip on how to handle these conditions. I was also able to take the truck through a weigh station, toll booth and construction zones during the trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better training experience.”
