Jodi M. from Oakdale Minnesota needed to get her Class A CDL license. She was comfortable with driving trucks with trailers but needed to spend the time to learn how to back them up. Our training program identifies the individual needs of each students and provides them with the training that will best help them. Jodi was pleased with how we helped her:
Interstate Truck Driving School was one of the best experiences of my life! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and always willing to help you. They really do what it takes to help you pass your commercial drivers test. I would recommend these guys and girls to anyone who is serious about learning to drive a truck safely and the right way. Thanks again to everyone and their expertise!
Thank you Jodi. It makes our job even more rewarding when we hear praise like yours. Drive safe and come back to visit!
Ramon B. drove up from LeSuer every day for our 160 hour Professional Course. He and his son are headed to CRST. Here are his comments after finishing his training:
I believe that Interstate Truck Driving School gave me the knowledge and confidence to drive a big truck safely. The class was well defined and I learned a lot from my teachers. Special thanks to Bill Collins an all of his staff. I will miss everyone. Thank you all and God Bless You!
Thank you Ramon. We really enjoyed having your smiling face here every morning for the last month. We hope to see you pull into our lot with a CRST rig soon.
Ramon III took his training right along side his dad. It was a great experience for us watching how well this father son team worked together. Here are his comments:
The classes were really helpful and all of the instructors were great! Dan, Amy, Pat Sr. taught me the skills I need to drive these trucks. Bill did a great job explaining everything in class and Pat gave us the direction we needed to get the training done in time. THANK YOU GUYS!
A recruiter from Werner Transportation will be here in our office on March 10th 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.
It is very important that you get in and get out of tractor trailer rigs properly. Please check out this YouTube Video that gives some advice on three points of contact:
Simon M from St. Paul finished up his 160 hour training program recently. Here are his comments:
I am so amazed that Interstate Truck Driving School taught me everything I need to know to drive these big trucks. I am so pleased that I am a part of this school.
Everyone that attends our school is a part of our family. We take our job very seriously and have a passion for providing our students the environment that will help them become safe truck drivers. Good luck Simon, come back and see us soon.
Chad S. from Eagan completed his training just in time to start the new year out with a new adventure. Here are his comments:
ITDS has given me the opportunity to advance my skills and help me to become a successful truck driver. Every one at the school is friendly and helpful. The classes were full of information and answered all of my questions. Thank you so much!! I will recommend this school to anyone that wants to become a driver.
Chad went down to TMC in Des Moines for his orientation and made us proud. Here is a picture of Chad with his plaque identifying him as the best student in his class.
Chad had a few comments after his orintation at TMC:
ITDS provided me with more shift and drive time then most of the other schools out there. I compared notes with other students and most of them went to schools where they pile 4 students in a truck and share drive time. ITDS gives you 1 on 1 training. That quality makes ITDS stand out from the rest!
Good Job Chad! We work hard to provide the very best training in the industry to help people succeed. We are proud to have you as a member of our family!
Pat has been licensed as an instructor by the Minnesota Dept of Public Safety for many years. He is our expert at getting our customers ready for the state road test. If you want to get your CDL, Pat is someone you want to listen to and follow his instructions. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job.
All of these former students have stopped by to say Hi and show off their trucks. While most of our student go to Werner or Roehl, it is interesting to see how many different companies hire our students.
We hope you will stop by some day in the future after you get a job driving truck.
Here is some of our latest equipment. So many of our customers end up working in the construction industry we thought it appropriate to add an end dump to our fleet. We already have van trailers from 24 feet to 53 feet, flat bed, drop deck trailers, and a car hauler.
You will learn how to operate this end dump trailer during your training with us. We will teach you a lot more about trucking than any other school, public or private. We have single axle and tandem axles trucks and tractors. We have single axle trailers, slide axle tandem trailers, spread axle trailers, and tri axle trailers. No other school in the state of Minnesota has such a wide variety of equipment.
We have added three over-the-road tractors and three trailers to the fleet in just the last month to keep up with the demand to turn our quality instruction for our students.
