Class 5 Training (Truck and Trailer)

Tobago sugarman · Postby **Tobago sugarman** » August 9th, 2012, 11:27 pm

Hey Guys, do you know of any driving school in Trinidad that teaches the operation of Truck and Trailer ? I'm aware that most persons who have Class 5 may have been trained by their employers who own Extra Heavy Trucks, but I'm willing to get the training anyhow i can get it. I have the Provisional Permit and also passed the Regulations. Please PM me or respond to this thread if you have any info. Thanks in advance.

LOL, ah like da one. But, I'm really serious. Its not something available in Tobago. I'm looking to secure a class 5 job before the year is done. I really really need hands on training.

Most container truck companies stor/park their trailers there .

What u can do is find a private company who has trucks/trailers and pay the provisional driving insurance so some driving schools partner with these guys and get u an appointment .I could find out more info tomorrow .

Bumping this Old Thread for any updated info on this..

Are there any Heavy Equipment schools that have established this as a course?
I have seen so many schools abroad that provide certification... Is this possible in Trinidad?

Trinidad is a country that relies so heavily on imported goods and in turn have so many container trucks around, but yet we have no schools that teach the Operation of a Tractor Trailer?
Worse yet a place to get an actual Certificate on it?
How?
