LVTA Celebrates First Anniversary, Adds New Classes

The Las Vegas Transportation Academy, owned and operated by David Hartson, will celebrate its first anniversary next month. Since its inception, the Academy has instructed more than 100 students.

The Academy introduced a brand-new class this past January for CDL permit training class B. “There is a large demand for CDL drivers in the Las Vegas market. Passing the 300-question test to get the permit is the first step—and it is not easy,” says Hartson. “The CDL handbook in Nevada has 213 pages of terms, information, and instruction that makes passing the test a challenge. I have developed a simple eight-hour course to make the whole experience understandable. I firmly believe that a student should be able to go down to the DMV and pass the test the next morning after the course.” A full schedule of classes can be found on the Academy’s website at www.lasvegasta.com.

One of Hartson’s success stories has been Paul Brown. Brown, who was an architect for 27 years and was tired of sitting behind a desk all day, was hired just two days after completing the course and has accelerated quickly to become a respected chauffeur at Luxury Vegas Transportation, a local company. “Paul is a great example on how understanding the job has put him on top,” says Hartson.
