Commercial Driver’s License
A shortage of long-haul drivers prompted the creation of Big Bend Community College’s Commercial Truck Driving Program. The course provides classroom study and behind-the-wheel driving and experience. Classes cover a variety of professional topics and prepare students for entry-level job opportunities. Classes include defensive driving techniques, brake adjustment, equipment inspection, hazardous material transportation, DOT log books, trip planning and other job related topics. Class space is limited and early registration is strongly recommended. Dorms are available.
