United Tribes Technical College

United Tribes Technical College’s Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) curriculum will provide you with a well-rounded education with competencies and skills to assist in obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Our training program starts with coursework in truck driving safety, driving techniques, and the ability to obtain a passenger bus, school bus, and double/triple trailer endorsement. Students will gain a working knowledge of a tractor and trailer through a combination of classroom, and behind the-wheel driver training. The behind-the-wheel time consists of hands-on training which focuses on skills developed for backing maneuvers, local street training, and CDL road test preparation and practice. Students will practice truck driving skills under the supervision of certified driving instructors.
