« back to classes page
 


The Power Line CDL Class A Endorsement curriculum teaches students how to inspect and operate tractor trailers and to assume driver responsibilities on the road and at pickup/delivery points. This program prepares students to take the Virginia CDL Class A Endorsement examination. Many of the vehicles that utility companies use while repairing power lines require a commercial driver's license to operate.

Emphasis is placed on the following:
  • vehicle inspections
  • defensive driving
  • range maneuvers
  • motor carrier safety regulations
  • trip planning
  • cargo handling
  • size/weight laws
  • general maintenance procedures
  • hours of service
  • accident prevention
Potential Certification:  Upon successful completion of the program, students will be eligible to take the Virginia CDL Class A Endorsement exam, administered by Virginia DMV.
