In the 9 week Class 3 Dump Truck & Hydrovac Program participants will delve into the intricacies of different dump truck configurations, gaining insights into their structures and specific applications. The curriculum covers fundamental vehicle mechanics, providing a comprehensive understanding of engines, transmissions, axles, hydraulics systems, suspension systems, differentials, and brakes. Emphasis is placed on the significance of pre-trip and post-trip inspections, teaching proper fluid level checks, tire assessments, brake examinations, and basic maintenance skills. Safety and compliance training highlight the importance of adhering to regulations, wearing seatbelts, and understanding load limitations and road weight capacity. Participants will also receive instruction on loading and unloading procedures, focusing on maintaining balance and safety during both processes.

The program includes behind-the-wheel training to hone driving techniques in diverse conditions and offers guidance on efficient route planning based on load type, destination distance, and navigating restrictions such as low bridges or weight-restricted roads.
