CDL Class A Instructor Trainer
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Need to extract content.
Let's parse the description.
First paragraph: "About the Role 160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school..." This is about the role. So we can have
About the role
then with that prose.
Then "Our Compensation Opportunity for annual merit increases to hourly wage based on business performance. Monthly bonus pool payout: When your yard averages an 80% first-time pass rate, every first-time pass adds $100 to a shared pool, split across the team and paid monthly. Full bonus eligibility requires a 4.7/5 average student rating. $100 accident-free bonus for top 15 yards. Additional paid hours for placement fairs and truck care during scheduled downtime." This is Pay/Benefits? It's compensation details. Could be Pay section. Also there is "Our Schedule Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM or 8:00 AM - 4:30PM for most yards. Higher volume yards sometimes run seven days a week, ten hours per day — opening alternative shifts including some four-day work weeks with three days off. Occasional fill in at another regional yard. There is a possibility to stay over in a hotel. Per diem paid, and mileage is paid if you are using your own vehicle. Students depend on their instructors being present. Reliable, on-time attendance is core to the role." That's Schedule.
Then "What You Will Do At 160 Driving Academy" list of duties. That's Responsibilities.
Then "Our Benefits Medical and dental (shared expense). Paid vacation: 1 week to start, 2 weeks after year 1, 3 weeks after year 2. 8-hour paid day off for a full year of perfect attendance. Paid day off for your birthday after 1 year of service (8 hours floating holiday) $3,000 relocation benefit for moving to our locations 100+ miles away. $500 referral bonus per instructor hire. Branded gear (vests, hats, flashlights, gauges) and access to yard laptops. Career path: Yard Instructor ? Assistant Lead Instructor ? Lead Instructor ? Regional Manager." That's Benefits.
Then "Why Work At 160 Driving Academy?" maybe not needed as a section; could be part of About the role? But we can ignore if not specific heading. It's more marketing; could be omitted? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that content somewhere. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "Why Work At 160 Driving Academy?" but not in the prescribed headings list. The headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those. "Why Work At..." could be part of About the role or maybe omitted? It's substantive but not fitting headings; maybe we can include as a paragraph under About the role.
Then "Requirements Our Required Credentials ..." that's Requirements.
Then "Preferred Experience ..." could be Qualifications or Skills? Usually Qualifications includes required and preferred. We could have Requirements for required credentials, Qualifications for preferred experience, Skills for skills like communication, basic computer skills, etc. But we need to decide.
Let's extract:
Required Credentials:
- High school graduation certificate or equivalent.
- Valid Class A CDL with minimum 24 months verifiable Class A tractor-trailer driving experience. Exception – Nevada requires 5 years.
- The state where you obtained your driver’s license must be the same state where you are applying to work at a 160 Driving Academy location.
- Manual transmission experience — licensed to operate and able to teach manual transmission.
- Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) free of violations.
- Ability to pass DOT physical and DOT-mandated drug and alcohol screening.
- Background check clearance required.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to mentor and coach students.
- Basic computer skills for tracking student progress and scheduling.
- Residence in the state you are applying for, or a confirmed residence secured for relocation.
- Must meet all state requirements for instructor licensing where instructor licensing is required.
- 90-day probationary period at hire.
Preferred Experience:
- Four or more years of consistent Class A driving experience.
- Prior experience mentoring, coaching, or training drivers.
- Driver Training Instructor certification (we provide guidance and support to obtain it if your state requires it).
- Knowledge of FMCSA and state regulations related to CDL training and testing.
Skills: maybe communication, basic computer skills, ability to mentor, etc. But those are already in required. Could create Skills section for those.
But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all info. We can split into sections: Requirements (required credentials), Qualifications (preferred experience), Skills (communication, basic computer skills, ability to mentor, etc). However communication and basic computer skills are already in required; but we could still list them under Skills as well, but that would duplicate. Better to put them under Requirements (since they are required). Then Qualifications for preferred experience. Skills maybe not needed if we already covered. But we need to include a Skills section only if there is real specific content. Could we treat "Strong communication skills with the ability to mentor and coach students. Basic computer skills for tracking student progress and scheduling." as Skills. Then Requirements would be the credentials (education, CDL, experience, state, manual transmission, MVR, DOT physical, background check, residence, licensing, probation). That seems reasonable.
Now Benefits: we have medical/dental, paid vacation, perfect attendance day off, birthday day off, relocation benefit, referral bonus, branded gear, access to yard laptops, career path.
Pay: compensation opportunity: annual merit increases to hourly wage based on business performance; monthly bonus pool payout details; $100 accident-free bonus for top 15 yards; additional paid hours for placement fairs and truck care during scheduled downtime.
Schedule: Monday-Friday 7am-3:30pm or 8am-4:30pm; higher volume yards sometimes 7 days, 10 hours per day; alternative shifts including some four-day work weeks with three days off; occasional fill-in at another regional yard; possibility to stay over in a hotel; per diem paid; mileage paid if using own vehicle; reliable on-time attendance core.
Responsibilities (What You Will Do):
- Teach Class A driving skills using hands-on training in outdoor yards on automatic and manual transmissions.
- Guide students step-by-step through pre-trip inspections, yard maneuvers, and on-road driving.
- Prepare students to pass CDL testing standards on the first attempt.
- Track student attendance and progress; provide additional support when needed.
- Maintain accurate training records, evaluations, and documentation.
- Reporting of all incidents and accidents to your lead and corporate in a timely manner.
- Work closely with fellow instructors and your Lead Instructor to deliver a consistent student experience and follow our defined curriculum.
- Help keep the yard and building clean and presentable.
- Cover for other instructors at nearby regional yards in certain emergencies.
- 90-day probationary period to ensure adherence to safety, compliance and curriculum.
- Assist with the transfer of trucks to repair operations and neighboring yards for use.
- Student-centric approach to teaching with ability to exhibit patience and professionalism.
- Ability to climb in/out of a tractor cab, sit and stand for extended periods, and demonstrate maneuvers.
- Additional requirements that apply specific to the role may be requested.
Also earlier "From time to time, you may be asked to fill in at other regional yards when coverage is needed. Keeping your yard clean and presentable — light upkeep such as litter pickup, basic painting, and general tidiness — is part of the role." That's also responsibilities.
Now About the role: The initial paragraph about 160 Driving Academy being largest CDL training school etc. Also "Our instructors are why." plus "This is local, hands-on work for experienced Class A drivers ready to trade the long-haul life for a role that keeps you home every night and pays you for outcomes that matter." plus "Why Work At 160 Driving Academy?..." plus veteran statement. We'll include that as About the role.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and content.
We must not include empty sections. Ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's craft:
About the role
160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country — 14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, training roughly 20,000 students a year with an overall 88% average first-time pass rate.

Keeping your yard clean and presentable — light upkeep such as litter pickup, basic painting, and general tidiness — is part of the role. This is local, hands-on work for experienced Class A drivers ready to trade the long-haul life for a role that keeps you home every night and pays you for outcomes that matter. Why Work At 160 Driving Academy? We train the people America runs on. With 90+ yards across 32 states and the highest training volume of any CDL school in the country, we're growing where the industry is growing — which means real career paths for our people, not just our students.
