A representative from TMC Trucking Company will be here on Monday July 26th at 5:00 PM to visit with our students and prospective students. Several of our students have gone to TMC and they like the high pay based on performance. This is a great opportunity to get all of your questions about TMC answered. They are the largest flat bed carrier in the country and they are based out of Des Moines Iowa. Check back to see when the next TMC event will be held.
Here is a picture of one of our students with his TMC truck. Notice the big smile! If you want to driving one of the nicest rigs on the road, check out TMC.
A recruiter from Werner Transportation will be here in our office on July 27th at 5:00 p.m. to visit with students. Werner is one of the few trucking companies that have paperless logs approved by the Federal Dept of Transportation. This is a great opportunity to meet with a representative from Werner to get all of your questions answered. Job applications for Werner will be accepted prior to enrolling in class.
Werner will then get back to you to let you know if they will offer you a job. After you get a positive response from Werner you can sign up for our 160 hour Professional Tractor Trailer Training Program and get started on your training. You can finish up in as little as 3 weeks and then head off to Werner and get to work!
Bryan C. stopped by with his co-driver to show off his truck. Bryan has a dedicated assignment to haul for 3M.
Mike S. stopped by recently to show off his Werner truck. Mike took his training here right after he got out of the service and now he is taking advantage of his G.I. Bill benefits.
Rick H. survived the construction traffic to drive over from Woodbury for his training.
Great truck driving school! Instructors are the Best as well as the office staff. A first class company!
Thanks Rick. We appreciate your kind words as we work very hard to be a first class operation so it feels good to know we are achieving our goals. Stop by soon.
Robert V. from Plymouth took our 160 hour Professional Program.
I would like to express my gratitude for Interstate Truck Driving School. I really felt comfortable with my instructors, there were professional and polite. Thank you so much for your dedicated time and effort that your company provided for me. Best Regards, Robert
Thank you Robert. We know you will be successful in your driving career!
Steve L. from Burtrum had experience with Class B trucks with mulit speed transmissions but needed out Basic Tractor Trailer Program to get his A license and some experience with trailers.
“Very good classroom instruction. Very good instructors. I like the flexibility of the school. Getting the CDL road test done early followed by learning how to drive in the real world is the best way to go. Pre trip, airbrake prep,a nd session with Tim was very helpful.”
Steve had a job waiting for him. We hope he stops by to let us know how things are going for him.
Steve W. from St. Paul just completed his training and had these comments:
I believe training was comprehensive. The Instructors were very patient, with no two alike. I liked the “go at your own pace” program. Thank you to all the staff.
Just about every week we are blessed with a visit from a former student. Mark T. stopped by to show us his good looking truck he drives for Stevens Transport. He is doing very well with them and is now a trainer himself. He tells us Stevens is very safety conscientious and that fits well with Mark’s attitude toward safe driving.
I had a difficult time finding the right truck driving school to get into the business. After choosing Interstate Truck Driving School, I had my CDL in a little over a week and I was on my way to a good job! Everything I learned here two years ago is still true today.
Thanks for stopping by Mark. It is always good to see you. We also like your slogan:
“Not trying to move fast, Just trying to Last!
We also received a text message from a student the other day that took one of our short programs:
Hello Bill,
I just wanted to send a thank you to you and your staff…you and your employees gave me the training and knowledge to successfully pass my Clas A CDL test. I appreciate the time and effort given by everyone at Interstate Truck Driving School.
Thanks again,
B.R.
We also follow our students on facebook to see how they are doing. Everyone here at Interstate Truck Driving School is passionate about helping people find a good job as a truck driver and we appreciate all of our customers!
C.V.W. finished up his 160 hour course and had the following comments:
Bill’s Emphasis on safety was greatly apprecieated. I never felt pressured by anyone to drive in a situation I was not comfortable with. Amy is a patient teacher who really did a good job covering everything I need to know about driving a truck.
Truck drivers are required to check their load within the first 50 miles of a trip, then recheck every 150 miles or 3 hours whichever comes first. A check is also required at every change of duty status. Check out our video to see how to do an En Route Inspection:
Parmenas M. from Brooklyn Park just finished his 160 hour course. Here are his comments:
I would like to thank Interstate Truck Driving School for all that they have done with helping me start my new career as a truck driver. I was nervous at first wondering how I was going to drive such a big truck when the biggest thing I had driven before was a van. I liked the way they started me out in the smaller trucks and moved up to the bigger stuff progressively. Because of this my training went fast and I was surprised I had mastered a ten speed in so little time. The instructors were really friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend Interstate Truck Driving School to anybody that asks me where they should go for their training. Thanks very much guys!
Thank you Parm, we know you are going to do a great job driving truck safely for years to come.
