<p><strong>Delivery 2 Hour: Approx.</strong></p>
<p>The concept of &#8216;Due Diligence&#8217; is defined as &#8220;an operator must take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances to protect the safety and health of their workers, customers and the general public&#8221;. In-turn, the need for better standards of safety and health has been matched by an increasing requirement for documentation of commercial vehicle driver operations and activities.</p>
<p>Although Professional Drivers may be experienced, Pre Employment Road tests are recommended to ensure the potential candidate demonstrates the required skills and abilities to operate your equipment in a professional manner that your successful business demands.</p>
<p>The Road test will consist of a Pre Trip Inspection, including coupling / uncoupling procedures, followed by an evaluation of the client&#8217;s overall driving skills, observing areas specific to: road management, shifting, mirror usage and backing skills.</p>
<p>A &#8220;Record of Road test Form&#8221; will be completed with our recommendation to either &#8216;pass&#8217; or &#8216;fail&#8217; the driver. An explanation will be included in addition to recommendations for improvement.</p>

</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Northern Academy provides 6 weeks of AZ Truck Driver Training.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why 6 weeks when other schools only provide 5 week courses? </strong></p>
<p>Surveys of employers have shown Northern Academy that a 5 week course is not enough. We have determined that a 6 week course is absolutely necessary to ensure that drivers are thoroughly trained to be safe on the road. Any less than 6 weeks results in drivers with less than satisfactory habits and generally poor backing skills. It is in Northern Academy&#8217;s best interests and the interests of the general public using our highways to ensure that our students receive maximum in-cab time. Our students actually spend 50 plus hours behind the wheel, not including pre-trip and post-trip inspection and backing time (calculated from On-Duty driving in the Logbooks completed daily). &#8220;Behind the wheel&#8221; hours are calculated from the on-duty driving which is accumulated on each driver&#8217;s daily log sheets.</p>
<p><strong>Is it more expensive with a 6 week training course? </strong></p>
<p><strong>No.</strong> Our goal is to help people become qualified drivers at a fair price. Our price for a 6 week course is typically less expensive than a 5 week course with a competitor. We do this because we want you to become a professional driver. This extensive course uses a combination of classroom and practical in-cab training.</p>
<p><strong>The classroom portion of the training consists of: </strong></p>
<p>Review and discussion of Thompson*Delmar Learning&#8217;s Trucking: Tractor-Trailer Driver Handbook / Workbook 3rd edition <em>This manual follows the Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario &amp; Professional Truck Driver Institute&#8217;s (PTDI) endorsed curriculum. </em></p>
<ul>
<li>Air Brake Endorsement Course</li>
<li>Log Books</li>
<li>Vehicle Inspections (theory)</li>
<li>Safe Forklift Operator Certification</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Practical portion of the training consists of: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vehicle Inspections</li>
<li>Coupling and Uncoupling</li>
<li>Shifting</li>
<li>Backing Skills</li>
<li>City and Highway experience</li>
<li>Full dayshift and nightshift experience</li>
<li>Winter Driving Skills</li>
<li>Practical Forklift Training</li>
</ul>
<p>Our hands-on training facility introduces students to the everyday operations at a trucking terminal. From the bustling dock area for loading and unloading to the variety of equipment utilized, the students gain real life experiences.</p>
