Professional Truck Driving students receive approximately two weeks of classroom and lab training to prepare them for the test to obtain a temporary student driver permit. This test is administered by the Driver License Division at their Brigham City location. Upon successfully passing the test and obtaining a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical, a “learner permit” is issued by the Driver License Division and students are then eligible to participate in “over-theroad” training. The next approximately eight weeks of training consists of a minimum of 135 hours in the classroom, 60 hours in the lab, and 45 hours of behind the wheel training. Upon successful completion of the training program, students must pass an over-the-road driving test to obtain a license. The driving test may be taken with any “third-party tester.” For the convenience of the students, Bridgerland Applied Technology College has a “third-party tester” on staff. Upon successfully passing this driving test, students may obtain a complete CDL from the state of Utah Driver License Division. Employment Outlook: Almost everything we use is moved across the country by truck and without truck drivers our country would be at a stand still. This type of training is critical to our nation as a whole. Drivers need to know the rules, know how to handle a truck , and know how to complete a log book prior to taking a truck out on the road.
