These courses are often taught by veterans of the trucking industry that use their experience to help you succeed in the field. While this training is not required, it may help you pass your written and skills exam.

The licensure of commercial drivers goes through the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. After passing a vision exam and written exam, it’s time to put your driving skills to the test. You can take the skills exam, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a technique exam that’s performed on an off-road course, and an on-the-road test. Upon passing these exams, you can receive your Class A or Class B driver’s license.Navigating a new industry can be tricky, particularly if you don’t have any friends or family members in the field. That’s where the Nebraska Trucking Association comes in. This group is designed to represent new and long-time truck drivers. It provides a library of industry facts, ranging from economic information to safety tips.

The Nebraska Trucking Association also hosts a number of events that help you learn more about the industry, network with professionals throughout the state, and get recognition for your work throughout the year. Popular events include a management conference, the Nebraska Truck Driving Championships, and an association-wide golf outing.
