Motor Grader Training

This two-day course includes one day of classroom training and one day of hands-on training delivered on-site using the hosting agency's facilities and equipment.

Day one consists of a classroom session that will cover dust-control methods, drainage, repair of frost boils, use of fabric, benefits of good-quality gravel, blading techniques, safe operation, and daily equipment maintenance. Day two includes field training conducted at the hosting agency's road site, where attendees will have the opportunity to operate the equipment and practice what they've learned.

Who Should Attend

Motor-grader operators and supervisors who manage motor-grader operators should attend this program. New operators find the training helpful and experienced operators feel it is a good refresher course. Supervisors who attend will stay abreast of new developments and operating techniques.
