If you’ve been thinking about learning how to drive the big rigs, you’ve come to the right place. When people think about truckers or becoming tractor-trailer truck drivers, they are often referring to a Class-A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). A Class-A CDL is the right choice for someone who is looking to drive a tractor-trailer, often referred to as a big rig, semi-truck, or 18-wheeler. At New England Tractor Trailer Training School (NETTTS), our CDL training programs begin by teaching the basics of truck driving, so you don’t need to have any prior experience with large vehicles to begin.

New England Tractor Trailer Training School’s (NETTTS) Class-B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) programs include Commercial Heavy Straight Truck Training for those looking to drive a straight truck, waste removal vehicle, or dump truck. Class B is the second heaviest-weight class of commercial vehicles. Drivers in construction, waste management, and public transit (buses) can often be Class B drivers. A Class B truck is described as: A single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating/gross vehicle weight of 26,001 pounds or more. The CDL training program offered at NETTTS locations focuses on safely operating and maintaining Class B vehicles like: Straight trucks, Dump trucks, Box trucks, Delivery trucks, Segmented trucks. Training for a Class B CDL means learning the skills to drive a Class B vehicle but also learning the rules of the road and how to safely operate this type of commercial vehicle.

A CDL, or Commercial Driver’s License, is required to drive a commercial motor vehicle, like a tractor-trailer or dump truck. Our entry-level driver training programs teach students how to safely operate commercial trucks and tractor-trailers. Students also get behind the wheel—first in the training field, and then out on the road—so they can get hands-on training to safely practice their skills with one of our experienced driving instructors. At New England Tractor Trailer Training School (NETTTS), we provide training programs in Bridgeport, CT, Somers, CT, Pawtucket, RI, and North Andover, MA.
