Trucking schools have turned to new technology! 91影视’s聽Fresno Campus has added a trucking simulator to help their drivers learn to drive before hitting the road. This trucking simulator allows students to get the general feel and experience of driving behind the wheel of a “big-rig” before they set foot inside a real truck. This new technology has become a great resource to add to our CDL training.
What Do Trucking Simulators Do?
Trucking simulators allow students to experience what it’s like to drive a “big rig” truck without even leaving the classroom! Our simulator is complete with the steering system and on-screen display to learn the basic skills of truck driving. Skills learned within a simulator include:
- backing
- sightline views from the driver’s seat
- how the clutch works
- driving in various weather conditions (i.e. ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, wind, etc.)
Once these skills (and many others like them) are learned, the student will be much more prepared to take on driving in an actual truck. Students will then commence the “road training” portion of their program, which further reviews the basic driving skills needed to pass their CDL test.
Truck Simulators – Part of Our Curriculum:
Trucking simulators have become a core part of our driver training program here at our Fresno Campus. It has become an effective tool聽in teaching our drivers the basics of operating a truck before getting behind the wheel of a truck for the first time. This new technology of truck simulators provides students with a diverse set of scenarios a trucker may see while driving. This can also help increase聽a student’s chances of passing their CDL test the first time.
Simulators are a tool that we are excited to continue to use at ACI. Our goal is to continue to provide the best possible training for each student. As technologies continue to advance, these simulators become more lifelike and give students a better experience of learning to drive a truck.
