Michael J. just finished up his Professional course. He was driving from pretty far away so we here at Interstate were able to use our flexible scheduling to make the training work for him and his schedule. He took advantage of our online training and the fact that we are open 7 days a week to complete the course.

In less than six months, Interstate Truck Driving School will be celebrating it's 20th Anniversary. During that time, Interstate has maintained a perfect safety record with zero insurance claims due to collisions and zero DOT reportable collisions.
We are very proud of our Perfect Safety Record and we are committed to keep our record going. We use the best equipment available and strive to use the very best teaching methods. We are one of very few private truck driving schools in the country to take advantage of high powered driving simulators.
