At Ace Trucking Academy, we provide comprehensive training services to prepare our students for a successful career in the trucking industry. Our program includes ELDT theory training, CLP training, Pre-Trip Inspection, BTW Range training, DPS testing, and endorsement training. We are committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to achieve their career goals.
As of February 7, 2022, compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA’s) Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule is required for any individual who wants to:
Vehicle Systems & Reporting Malfunctions:
In the state of Texas, Class A CDL students are required to pass four multiple-choice tests at their local DPS office before proceeding to the Behind The Wheel (BTW) portion of their training. These tests cover Texas Special Requirements, General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles.
The Texas Special Requirements test covers state-specific rules and regulations, while the General Knowledge test assesses the student’s understanding of general trucking concepts, such as vehicle inspection, cargo handling, and driving procedures. The Air Brakes test evaluates the student’s knowledge of air brake systems, including inspection and operation, and the Combination Vehicles test assesses their understanding of handling combination vehicles, such as tractor-trailers.
Once a student has successfully passed all four tests, they are eligible to begin the BTW portion of their training, where they will receive hands-on instruction and practice driving skills under the guidance of a certified instructor.
We begin by providing students with an overview of the CDL permit process, including the types of CDLs available and the specific requirements for each. We then cover the rules and regulations for commercial driving, such as federal and state regulations, hours of service, and safety procedures.
Our instructors then provide students with a thorough review of the information covered on the CLP exam, such as vehicle inspections, basic vehicle control, and on-road driving skills. This will be classroom instruction.
To help students prepare for the exam, we provide them with study materials, such as practice tests and flashcards, and conduct mock exams to help them familiarize themselves with the testing process.
Throughout the CLP course, we assess each student’s progress and provide feedback to help them improve. Our goal is to ensure that our students are fully prepared to pass the CLP exam and are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the trucking industry.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we take a comprehensive approach to our training programs to ensure that our students are fully prepared for success in their trucking careers. Our Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the CLP exam and begin their journey as professional truck drivers.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we have a proven method of teaching Pre-Trip Inspection to our students. Our training is designed to ensure that each student has a comprehensive understanding of the inspection process and can perform it with confidence.
We start by breaking down the inspection process into a logical sequence of parts, so that students can easily remember and understand each step. Our instructors demonstrate each part of the inspection process, and then students are given the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned on their own.
To help students prepare for the CDL exam, we provide them with a checklist of all the items that need to be inspected. We also simulate the testing environment by conducting mock exams, so that students can familiarize themselves with the testing process and build their confidence.
Our training is tailored to each student’s unique learning style, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance they need to master the Pre-Trip Inspection process. By the time our students complete our program, they have a solid foundation in Pre-Trip Inspection and are fully prepared for success in the trucking industry.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we provide comprehensive and hands-on training for Behind The Wheel (BTW) Range training. Our program is designed to give students the knowledge and experience they need to master the essential skills for operating a commercial truck and passing their CDL road test. Some of these skills that we teach are Straight Line Backing, Offset and Parallel Parking.
Our instructors begin by introducing students to the basic components of a commercial truck, including the engine, transmission, and brakes. They then teach the proper techniques for starting, accelerating, braking, and shifting gears, and provide ample hands-on practice with these skills.
Once students have a solid understanding of the foundational skills, our instructors move on to range training. This part of the program focuses on maneuvering the commercial truck in a confined space, such as a parking lot or range. We teach students how to control the truck and perform maneuvers such as Straight Line backing, Offset Backing, and Parallel Parking.
During the BTW Range training, students receive one-on-one instruction and support from our experienced instructors. Our instructors provide constant feedback and guidance to help students identify areas of weakness and improve their skills throughout the course.
We also use a range of training tools and techniques to enhance the learning experience. For example, we use cones and markers to create a simulated range environment that students can practice in. We also use video recordings of student performances to help them identify areas where they need to improve.
Our BTW Range training program is designed to be flexible and tailored to each student’s individual needs. We provide a supportive and encouraging learning environment, where students can progress at their own pace and receive the guidance and training they need to succeed.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we believe that a comprehensive and hands-on approach to BTW Range training is essential for preparing our students for success in the trucking industry. Our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to become safe and confident truck drivers.
At Ace Trucking Academy, our Behind The Wheel (BTW) Road training program is designed to provide students with comprehensive instruction and hands-on experience in driving a commercial truck on the open road. Our program covers a range of skills and techniques, including turning, stopping, speed and space management, road regulations, driving behaviors, railroad crossings, and emergency stops.
For students learning to drive a manual transmission truck, we also cover upshifting and downshifting gears, gear recovery, manual transmission driving behaviors, and advanced shifting techniques.
Our experienced instructors provide one-on-one instruction and support to help students build their skills and confidence behind the wheel. We begin by introducing students to the basic controls and operations of the commercial truck, including the engine, transmission, brakes, and steering.
We then move on to more advanced driving skills, such as turning, merging, and navigating through traffic. Our instructors teach students how to maintain proper speed and following distance, and how to respond to different road and traffic conditions.
Throughout the BTW Road training program, we emphasize the importance of safe driving practices, including proper lane changing, signaling, and scanning for potential hazards. We also teach students how to manage their space on the road and how to handle emergency situations, such as sudden stops or mechanical failures.
Our BTW Road training program is designed to be flexible and tailored to each student’s individual needs. We provide ample hands-on practice and constructive feedback to help students identify areas for improvement and build their confidence behind the wheel.
In addition to our comprehensive and hands-on approach, we take our time teaching and are very patient with students during our BTW Road training program. We understand that learning to drive a commercial truck can be a challenging and intimidating process, and we strive to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment for our students. Our experienced instructors provide individualized instruction and support, ensuring that each student is able to progress at their own pace and build their skills and confidence behind the wheel. At Ace Trucking Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the highest quality training and support, to help them achieve their goals and succeed in the trucking industry.
We understand that passing the CDL Road Test is essential for our students’ success in the trucking industry. That’s why we take great care in preparing our students for this critical exam.
Our trucks are all later model and meticulously maintained to ensure that our students have a safe and reliable vehicle for the Road Test. Additionally, our trucks are the same make and model as the ones used for training, providing a seamless transition for our students from the training to the Road Test.
During the training, our instructors work closely with students to ensure that they are comfortable and confident behind the wheel. We provide ample practice time and instruction to help students master the essential skills needed for the Road Test.
When the time comes for the Road Test, we make sure that our students are well-prepared and ready to pass. We take the time to evaluate their on-the-road driving to ensure that they are confident and competent in their abilities. Our instructors provide guidance and support throughout the process, helping students to stay calm and focused during the exam.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the highest quality training and support. Our focus on safety and preparation ensures that our students are well-equipped to pass the CDL Road Test and begin a successful career in the trucking industry.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we understand that endorsements are an essential component of a successful trucking career. That’s why we offer comprehensive training and preparation for a range of CDL endorsements.
Our endorsement training includes Hazmat, School Bus and Passenger (theory only), Doubles, Triples, and Tankers. We provide thorough instruction and hands-on practice to help our students master the necessary skills and knowledge to pass the corresponding exams at the local DPS office.
Our experienced instructors work closely with students to identify areas of strength and weakness and tailor the training accordingly. We provide ample study materials and practice exams to ensure that our students are well-prepared for the endorsement exams.
Additionally, for endorsements that require a corresponding score, such as Hazmat, Passenger, or School Bus, we provide instruction and support to help students submit the necessary scores to obtain the endorsement.
At Ace Trucking Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the highest quality training and support. Our endorsement training is designed to help our students succeed in the trucking industry and achieve their career goals.
