You will receive a Department of Transportation Physical, Commercial Driver's learner's permit and endorsement preparation, Department of Transportation rules and regulations, log books, map reading, trip planning, and complete vehicle training including the Class A road test. The West Kentucky Technical College Truck Driver Training Program works with many trucking companies that will pre-hire students. The fact is, truck driving is one of the few occupations where students who complete training are almost certain to go to work immediately.
Most students receive several job offers prior to completion of their training.
Full-time programs start every month. Part-time programs start every eight to 10 weeks. Training is scheduled around holidays and interruptions caused by weather or other unforeseen circumstances. A high school diploma or GED is not required. The program may train individuals 18 and over but has limited job placement assistance for individuals under the age of 21.
