Donald S. from Brunsville just graduated from our 160 Hour Course. He passed his first road test and was able to finish his training in less than two months. While he's not sure where to go to work yet, he is choosing between three companies and that is something that makes our industry special. Graduates can literally have multiple job offeres before they graduate.

David G. just graduated from Interstate's 160 Hour Professional Tractor Trailer Refresher Course. He's had his Class A for a while, but he needed the training in order to be hireable by the company he wanted to work for which was Schneider. Having prior knowledge not only helped him complete the course, but he was also a big help to other students who didn't have as much experience.
