The training will cover a variety of driving situations the students could expect to encounter in the Denver Metro areas, such as traffic, vehicle breakdowns, flat tires, inclement weather and mountain driving. Successful completion of the training should result in GANGS personnel passing the written and driving portion of the CDL test.
