COMMERCIAL DRIVER TRAINING

Big rigs are the lifeline for our everyday necessities. Truckers haul everything from food, clothing, and natural resources to produce, cars, furniture, and fuel. It’s no wonder that trucking is an in-demand industry. You can become a part of an industry that holds America together and offers good pay and generous benefits.

In just five weeks of day classes (7:30 am to 4:30 pm) or night classes (6-10 pm), the Commercial Driver Training program at Western Tech will prepare you with the skills you need to embark on a career that is full of traveling, networking, variety, flexibility, and job security. If you love the open road, we can help you turn your passion into a reality. If you already hold a Learner’s permit, Western Tech offers the training you need to acquire your Class A Driver’s License.
