Program Description Bellingham Technical College and locally owned Pegasus Corp. have combined efforts to provide students with a high quality, fast-track training program to prepare for a career in commercial truck driving.
The program consists of two parts:
1) preparation for the written test: a 35 hour full-time, 1-week course
2) preparation for the driving test: a 200 hour, fulltime 7-week course.
Students will learn to perform the essential skills of professional trucking safely and efficiently. Students who successfully pass the class will be allowed to use our vehicles for their on-the-road tests. Students may enroll in the program at the beginning of each month.
