As the saying goes, the only thing certain is change. At OKAPT, we’re in the midst of an exciting transition aimed at strengthening our organization and better serving our members.

So far this year, we’ve refreshed our brand identity, launched a mobile app, and streamlined our training offerings to ensure stronger alignment with both State and Federal requirements.

We understand that change can feel challenging, but every step we take is with you—our valued members—in mind. Our goal is simple: to grow as a dynamic organization and provide you with the best tools, resources, and events to support your success.

As we move through the year, it’s an ideal moment to check off your Annual Training requirements. Our In-Service Training Pack is available for immediate enrollment and includes a curated set of essential lessons.

But did you know we also offer customized training plans?

Because we understand that one size doesn’t fit all, our Custom option allows you to choose the exact lessons your team needs. Whether you’re focusing on In-Service, Professional Development, or building Career Ladders, you can tailor a training plan that aligns with your goals. Many districts even use these customized training plans as part of their promotion or wage increase criteria.

Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is required for anyone seeking to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) that need a CDL or certain endorsements. For those aiming to drive a Class A vehicle, the benefits go beyond just getting licensed:

• Higher Earning Potential – Class A drivers often earn more, especially for long hauls, specialty loads, or high-demand routes.
• Greater Job Opportunities – With a Class A CDL, you can access over-the-road (OTR), regional, and local jobs across the country.
• Job Security – There’s strong demand in industries like freight, manufacturing, and agriculture.
• Travel and Independence – OTR driving gives you the opportunity to see the country while working independently.

To earn your Class A CDL, you must complete theory and behind-the-wheel training and pass a skills test. Smart Horizons' theory training meets all federal ELDT standards and is reported to the Training Provider Registry (TPR).

Please FORWARD this email to anyone you think could benefit from the information.
Online curriculum tracks and individual lessons are also available without reporting.

Keep on trucking,
