COMANCO celebrates another proud moment in Employee Professional Development! Equipment Technician Samuel Smith has successfully completed all of the Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements to become a Class A CDL Driver. A Class A CDL License is needed to operate any combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is more than 10,000 pounds. Vehicles requiring a Class A CDL license are primarily tractor-trailers driving long distances.
Sam’s training consisted of driving a truck at Roadmaster’s practice facility, on the road in real-world conditions, map reading, trip planning and compliance with Department of Transportation laws. Additionally, the training consisted of detecting and identifying preventive maintenance problems on tractor-trailer units, backing, turning and hooking/unhooking an industry standard 53ft trailer, and advanced truck driving techniques such as skid avoidance, breakaway trailer and hydroplaning.
COMANCO takes great pride in both training and professional growth programs for our employees. Employee Success = Company Success!
