Week 2 and 3: Range and Simulator weeks
During these two weeks we will start to see an increase in the difficulty as we start to introduce the federal CDL Road Test. During this two weeks students will complete and pass the range skills course prior to being allowed to go out onto the public road. Why? The reason we do this is because we want to reduce the number of potential accidents, or incidents that may occur on the road. Since this implementation of this policy we have seen a 90 percent reduction of on road incidents that do happen. Well students are working on the range, If it is available students will complete up to 90 hours in a simulator, practicing anything and everything That you could see out on the road and this prepares students for the worst cases. These Items MUST be passed prior to moving into the next portion of the class. We do this for major safety reasons and this is what makes us the best.
​
Week 4 and 5: Public Road
Well these two weeks are solely dedicated to students going out on the road and putting everything they learned to the test. Under the watchful eye of one of our highly Trained R. Johnson Creations Trainers students will go through city, Highway, rural and night driving to prepare them for there careers.
