By Howard Stihlman, Staff Writer


As one of the trucking industry’s most productive regions, the Midwest holds hundreds of opportunities for anyone looking to get into a job in transportation and especially in trucking. But even though there are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to a truck driving school, very few trucking schools have the proven track record of this month’s Featured CDL School, C1 Truck Driver Training in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

C1 Truck Driver Training’s Fort Wayne campus offers students the ability to learn the necessary skills to become a licensed truck driver in a relaxed, intimate setting. The school sits on the southeast side of the city and has easy access to both rural and city streets as well as nearby Interstate 69. This is a great advantage for students to have experienced as many driving situations as possible before getting behind the wheel of a truck on their own. The class sizes at C1’s Fort Wayne campus are kept small to give student truck drivers lots of personal attention and to create a positive learning environment.

Anyone who’s ever looked into attending a truck driving school knows that the most important part of your training is the behind-the-wheel time. Over the course of C1’s 3-week CDL training program, students spend an industry-leading 80 hours driving and practicing backing, turning, and coupling a tractor trailer. The instructors at C1 know that the more time you spend behind the wheel, the better and safer a driver you will be, so the 80 hours is spent actually driving the truck instead of watching someone else do it.

Fort Wayne also takes pride in its training fleet – the campus offers 10 late-model trucks that are regularly maintained and regarded and some of the best training trucks in the industry. The equipment that students train with at C1’s Fort Wayne campus is comparable to the same trucks they will drive as a licensed driver, so graduates are guaranteed to be fully prepared to begin their driving careers after training.

At C1 Truck Driving Training in Fort Wayne, students will find a well-equipped facility, knowledgeable instructors, and some of the trucking industry’s best training equipment. Once they graduate, they will find an endless amount of opportunities after being trained at one of the best truck driver training schools in the country.

As the trucking industry continues to grow, the demand for truck drivers will continue to rise, too. For this reason, many colleges and universities around the country have begun offering their own truck driver training courses. There isn’t a much better learning environment than a program at a college, and there isn’t a much better training program at a college than Arkansas State University-Newport’s Driver Training Institute.

Located in the rural town of Newport, Arkansas just off of Interstate 67, ASU Newport offers one of the most high-tech, in-depth truck driver training programs around. The training campus also resides on a former air force base, so the school houses miles of concrete runway and tarmac that create one of the largest training driving ranges in the country. The Driver Training Institute has been graduating qualified truck drivers for 15 years and gives students the chance to learn in a number of ways. In ASU’s high-tech classrooms, students are instructed on the rules and regulations of the trucking industry, as well as proper logging and planning procedures and performing safety inspections. Students train every day of the week, spending over 100 hours behind the wheel practicing basic driving skills, such as backing and turning, as well as learning to drive in both rural and highway driving situations. ASU also provides a virtual simulator for any student who needs additional shifting practice. In only 3 weeks, students at the Driver Training Institute are fully trained and ready to begin a successful truck driving career.

The biggest focus at ASU is and has always been the students. All of the instructors at ASU Newport are former over-the-road truck drivers with several years of driving experience, and they have been intensely trained in the necessary skills and knowledge needed to become a safe and successful driver. Students are trained on well-maintained, late model equipment that is almost identical to the trucks they will be driving once they become a solo driver. And because ASU Newport is a publicly-funded university, some students may be eligible for federal financial aid assistance. To see if you qualify, please contact the school directly.

The Driver Training Institute at Arkansas State University-Newport continues to graduate some of the trucking industry’s safest, most well-prepared truck drivers. This training school and its program are perfect for anyone looking to pursue a truck driving career, no matter who you are!
