AZ1200- Class AZ Truck Driver Training Northern Academy provides 6 weeks of AZ Truck Driver
Training. Why 6 weeks when other schools only provide 5 week
courses? Surveys of employers have shown Northern Academy that a 5
week course if 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'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 45 - 50 total hours behind the wheel, not including pre-trip
and post-trip inspection and not including backing time (calculated from
On-Duty driving in the Logbooks completed daily). "Behind the wheel" hours are
calculated from the on-duty driving which is accumulated on each driver's
daily log sheets. Is it more expensive with a 6 week training course? No. 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 - plain and simple. This extensive course uses a combination of
classroom and practical in-cab training. The
classroom portion of the training consists of: - Review and discussion of Thompson*Delmar
