Introduction
Starting a new career path can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves mastering the rules of the road, operating large vehicles, and passing official exams. That’s why ACIS Academy is here to make the CDL training journey structured, transparent, and supportive.
Whether you’re completely new to the field or switching careers, understanding how the CDL training process works will help you build confidence and prepare for success. Here’s exactly what to expect when you join the ACIS Academy family.
🧑🏫 Training Phases: Step-by-Step Support from Start to Finish
At ACIS Academy, we divide the training into clear, progressive stages to ensure every student is set up for long-term success:
📚 1. Classroom Instruction
Before you ever sit behind the wheel, you’ll spend time in the classroom learning:
- Federal and state trucking laws
- Road safety rules and protocols
- Logbook management and DOT compliance
- Basic vehicle mechanics and maintenance tips
This phase lays the intellectual foundation for your driving career.
🚛 2. Hands-On Practice
Next, you’ll move to the driving yard and training trucks. Under instructor supervision, you will:
- Learn how to conduct a pre-trip inspection
- Practice shifting, backing, parking, and turning
- Get real-time experience in both rural and city environments
- Prepare for maneuvers like alley dock, parallel park, and straight-line backing
You’re not just watching—you’re driving. Every session builds muscle memory and boosts confidence.
📝 3. Examination Preparation
CDL testing includes both written and road exams. We make sure you’re ready with:
- Weekly mock tests
- DMV-style written exams
- On-road driving simulations
- One-on-one coaching to address weak points
Our goal is not just for you to pass, but to excel.
