New curriculum strengthens CM Labs’ end-to-end simulation training portfolio for construction and utility workforce development; debuts at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, booth #N11839.
MONTREAL, QC, February 18, 2026 — CM Labs Simulations, the leading vendor of simulation-based training solutions for construction and utilities, today announced the debut of its Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Class A Truck and Trailer simulation curriculum. Launching at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in booth #N11839, the new curriculum helps organizations prepare heavy equipment operators for Class A certification by developing the driving skills required to pass the CDL test within the same simulation platform used for construction equipment training.
CDL Class A Truck and Trailer is part of CM Labs’ broader simulation curriculum portfolio and runs on the Intellia Workforce Training System with construction and utilities equipment training. Organizations can standardize onboarding and evaluation across roles while scaling programs on a single platform where performance data, certification readiness, and skill progression are tracked centrally, providing full visibility into operator development.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to delivering a more complete simulation training solution for construction and utilities,” said Lisa Barbieri, VP of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at CM Labs. “Organizations can now prepare drivers and equipment operators within one cohesive system designed for workforce development at scale.”
The CDL Class A Truck and Trailer curriculum walks trainees through core maneuvers such as turning, backing, coupling and uncoupling, and yard work, before progressing to road and highway driving that reflects how construction and utility operators actually move equipment rather than long-haul freight patterns. Built on CM Labs’ physics-based simulation technology, the training delivers authentic vehicle behavior and response, reinforcing real-world driving skills required for CDL testing and jobsite transport.
Instructors can introduce higher-risk situations, evaluate how trainees respond, and repeat scenarios as needed without tying up a live truck or putting new drivers into traffic before they are ready.
Visit CM Labs at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 at booth #N11839 for live demonstrations of CDL Class A Truck and Trailer training and to discover how simulation-based training helps organizations reduce CDL bottlenecks, prepare inexperienced operators more safely, and move heavy equipment to the jobsite faster.
CM Labs helps organizations build safer, more skilled heavy equipment workforces through simulation-based training systems. The CM Labs’ Intellia Workforce Training System unifies high-fidelity simulators, curriculum, training management software, and expert services into one integrated physics-based system. Organizations use Intellia to accelerate operator readiness, reduce risk, and deliver measurable performance outcomes across construction, ports, utilities, industrial, education, forestry, corrections, and defense. Trusted by organizations in more than 50 countries, CM Labs has delivered over 2,000 training system installations worldwide.
