Ginsberg’s CDL A Driver Trainers

Our team of highly skilled and experienced trainers is committed to delivering a comprehensive CDL A training program that emphasizes theoretical understanding and practical road skills, meeting all DOT requirements.

This is the true driving force behind our trainers’ dedication.

As a full time driver trainer, Nick has been integral to the TPR driver training process getting drivers prepared to obtain their Class A in a few months, which is impressive! Nick’s duties include often being the first one in the door at 3:30 AM in order to facilitate dispatch, then he focuses on training. Nick works with trainees to become experienced with road test prep, DOT pre-trip inspections, TPR training and documentation, and on-the-road training. Nick also has a great military career in the US Army Infantry including 3 solo parachute jumps, 1 Afghanistan tour (as a dog handler), and 1 Iraq tour, and was selected for Army Recon Scout Platoon.
