Trucking School Profile

Commercial Driver Training, Inc. is a private vocational school founded in 1961 to offer courses in professional tractor-trailer, truck, and bus driving. Commercial Driver Training's curriculum was developed to fill the trucking industries need for well trained highly skilled drivers. The trucking industry in the USA is vast and employs millions of people. Although the industry is so vast it has few training programs of its own. This brings the need for accredited schools such as ours into focus. The curriculum at Commercial Driver Training provides the student with a broad base of knowledge through classroom sessions and practical experience to take their place in this necessary and rewarding field as a professional tractor trailer, truck or bus driver.
