State Fair Community College’s The LearningForce will host a Commercial Driving Academy (CDA) open house from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. December 15 in Fielding Technical Center, Rooms 245 and 253. Light refreshments will be served.

A news release says the open house will feature the new VS600M Truck Simulator that creates a realistic truck driving environment. It consists of a fully functional pneumatic driver seat, typical controls, integrated flashers, and trailer hand brake. A range of truck models and transmission configurations with different payloads can be simulated to produce a credible experience that includes gravity during hill driving and various weather and road conditions. There will be demonstrations, and attendees will have the chance to “test-drive” the simulator.

The CDA Director Brent Hampy and Instructors Gene Warsawski and Forrest Bryden will be present. They will talk about the CDL online and behind the wheel training platform and answer questions about the Class A CDL program and the Class B and school bus, passenger and hazmat endorsement training the CDA offers.
