| Thank
you for your interest in America's Driving Force.
We appreciate the opportunity to present our program
to you and to demonstrate it's proven record of
success in training individuals, with no previous
experience, in the skills of CDL Tractor-Trailer
Driving.
America's Driving Force of Georgia, Inc.
has been in operation since January of 1992. Our
course is based on 180 hours of instruction administered
over a three week period. A week of study consist
of Monday through Saturday, 7:30 A.M. to 6:30
P.M. We keep classes small, thus enabling each
student more one-on-one time with the instructors
as well as maximizing driving time for each student.
Each
week represents a specific section of the course.
Section One is the classroom
program which focuses on all D.O.T. requirements
of driver and equipment management.
Section Two is a full hands-on
"range" course which trains the student
in their basic control skills such as backing,
maneuvering and shifting, prior to their actually
entering the road.
Section Three is driving, where
we strive to provide as many different training
situations as possible for the student to gain
high quality "road time".
The most important part of any driver training
is "Behind-the-Wheel" experience. America's
Driving Force strives to maintain a high average
in this category in both range and highway training.
A training program is only as good as the instructor who teaches
it. All of our instructors are state certified
with additional training and materials from the
National
Safety Council, The
Georgia Motor Trucking Association, The
American Trucking Associations and The
Commercial Vehicle Training Association.
We are very proud of our program and eager to
demonstrate its effectiveness. While our primary
focus has always been to train student drivers
in the safest operation of tractor-trailers possible,
we have designed this course to be financially
responsible as well.
Our CDL course is $4800 for the three weeks. There
are $198.00 in additional fees which cover a copy
of the students 7 year Motor Vehicle Report, a
D.O.T. physical, drug screen, state registration
and application fee, $50.00 Road Test Fee and
all state licensing fees. Financial Assistance
is available through a Federal Job Training Program
for those who qualify. We also accept major credit
cards and have financing available for qualified
applicants as well as offering 50% discounts for
applicants that pay in full up front prior to
starting class. This reduces the cost of the tuition
to $2,400.00..
We take great pride in our assistance with job
placement. We
have a recruiter from a different carrier scheduled
every day to come in to the school and talk with
the students. The recruiters do pre-hire upon
completion of the course as long as the student
meets the requirements of that particular carrier.
In addition to the carriers that are represented
by a recruiter visiting our school, we also keep
applications to several carriers on file for the
students to fill out. We continue to forward all
applications for the students while they are here
as well as after graduation. Students are also
allowed to come back after graduation at any time
to meet with recruiters that are scheduled to
visit. We host special hiring events throughout
the year for inexperienced and experienced drivers.
These events include many major carriers looking
for drivers.
Thank you again for your interest in America's
Driving Force. We stand ready to answer any questions
you may have. We are confident that our graduates
meet the requirements of the trucking industry.
