Our Curriculum & Process
Theory
Our theory training is an online training module that includes interactive videos and quizzes. These modules were created in accordance with FMCSA guidelines. In fact, the creators of the program were members of the FMCSA advisory panel that created the guideline recommendations. The training asks interactive questions throughout, and if trainees miss the answers, they rewatch that section until they fully understand the module.
The training is available online from any phone or computer which will allow students some flexibility in when and where they receive this portion of the training.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) doesn't require a minimum number of hours for behind-the-wheel (BTW) or theory training for entry-level driver training (ELDT). However, training providers must cover all the required topics and ensure trainees demonstrate proficiency.
Extra Mile are consistent with the definitions of BTW range training and BTW public road training in § 380.605
Behind the Wheel
CDL A and B BTW instruction, will include in person training on all required training modules in 380.725 Appendix A and B. Students are getting experience inspecting, driving, and backing a Class A or Class B vehicle.
