Teaches in: Commercial Driving
About Me
I'm David Stone, and I've been in the trucking industry for 15 years, starting behind the wheel and working my way up to fleet operations. I got my CDL early on and saw how many drivers struggled with the certification process, so I became an instructor. Now, I help people navigate commercial driving, from passing tests to managing fleets. My background includes running logistics for regional carriers and training drivers on federal compliance.
In my courses, I break down regulations and procedures into clear, actionable steps. We focus on real-world prep, like pre-trip inspections and ELD setup. Students gain the skills to pass CDL exams and handle fleet logistics, with a focus on safety and efficiency that prepares them for immediate job demands.
