Description

SAGE is properly licensed in accordance with state requirements, as identified elsewhere in this Catalog. SAGE holds numerous memberships in national and state trucking industries and educational associations, including the Commercial Vehicle Training Association, American Trucking Associations, Utah Trucking Association and other state trucking associations, Truckload Carriers Association, the National Safety Council and others. All instructors must hold a Class A Commerical Driver's License (CDL) and have a minimum of 3 years of driving experience.

This 160-hour Class A ELDT-160A program is delivered over four (4) weeks and is designed for students who have already obtained their Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). This four-week course prepares entry-level drivers to safely operate a Class A commercial motor vehicle and meet federal Entry-Level Driver Training requirements. Instruction includes ELDT theory, vehicle systems and inspections, hours-of-service regulations, safe operating practices, basic vehicle control, backing maneuvers, coupling and uncoupling, and supervised public-road driving. Students participate in classroom, range, observation, and hands-on driving activities and complete proficiency evaluations throughout the course. To successfully complete the program, students must earn an overall theory assessment score of at least 80 percent and demonstrate proficiency in all required behind-the-wheel skills. Graduates are prepared to take the state-administered CDL skills examination; course completion does not guarantee CDL issuance. The program takes approximately 4 weeks to complete and includes 160 hours of instruction, including 44 hours Hands-on-the-Wheel Training, 40 hours Classroom Theory, 76 hours lab, observation and range exercises. Prerequisites: Valid CDL Class A permit.
