A training yard, not a classroom with a brochure
We started with two trucks and a rented gravel lot behind a closed grain elevator. We still use that lot. The cones on the backing range have been repainted more times than anyone can count, and the trucks have the dents to prove students actually drive them.
Every instructor here drove for a living first - regional freight, dump truck, or over-the-road - before they taught it. When they tell you the pre-trip inspection is where people fail, it is because they have watched it happen for years, not because it is in a manual somewhere.
We are not the school for someone who wants a lifestyle change. We are the school for someone who needs to be earning again in five weeks and cannot afford a program that wastes their time getting there.
