CLASS A- M.E.L.T. DRIVER TRAINING PROGRAM

Truck training program for beginners
MELT
Before becoming eligible for a road test, students receive heavy truck classroom and on-the-road training through the MELT program, which is short for Mandatory Entry-Level Training. It entails completing a set number of hours of classroom instruction, practical driving lessons, and vehicle training from accredited driving schools. We provide training from experienced drivers who provide an in-depth overview of trucks and everything associated with them. Our comprehensive training program equips graduates with a wide range of practical skills and exposes them to opportunities that would otherwise require years to pursue. Implement innovative workforce skills by obtaining your Air Brake Endorsement, learning detailed pre-trip inspection coaching, and becoming proficient in trailer uncoupling and coupling.
