MDTA’s heavy construction trucking program, sponsored by Michigan Department of Transportation, offers on-site training in both classroom and truck yard settings. Students will attain proficiency in driving vehicles such as dump trucks, gravel trains, flatbeds and lowboys. Trucking laws and policies are covered as well. Enhanced safety precautions during COVID-19 are in place to keep students and teachers safe.
To qualify, current drivers must possess a CDL Class A license, a clean driving record and the ability to pass a drug test and background clearance. A T endorsement must be obtained prior to graduation.
Spots are still available for classes beginning Nov. 30. Interested drivers, as well as contractors in need of trained drivers ready to work or looking to have their own drivers trained, are encouraged to visit mdtruckingassoc.org or call 313-590-2123.
According to Hannah, “By building a diverse foundation of talent and increasing the number of women, minorities and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in trucking, we can positively impact the local economy and trucking community for years to come.”
