All classroom training takes place at set times. BTW training is by sign up. Each student will sign up for range and road time that works best with their schedule. Students are expected to be at their chosen training session. There is a limit of two (2) students per truck per session. Only time spent at the controls of the vehicle during these sessions will be entered into the federal training registry.
