Truck Driving Academy

The truck driver shortage is real!  Pick up any newspaper and look under "help wanted."  Make a phone call to any trucking company and ask if they need drivers.

Terra Community College Truck Driving Academy 

Transportation analysts all agree on one thing--THE DRIVER SHORTAGE has not, and will not, be solved any time soon. The figure of 80,000 new drivers per year is still projected with no end date in sight. For those having a valid commercial driver's license, a good driving record, and the will to work and earn a good living, there will never be a lack of good jobs.

  • The basic course of 260 hours will take you from the introduction of the transportation industry up to and including testing in school vehicles to obtain your CDL with all the endorsements. 
  • We will prepare you for all of the written tests as well as the pre-trip inspection, yard maneuvers and the actual road test.
  • We will train you in modern equipment comparable to the ones operated by today's trucking fleets.
  • Our instructors are all licensed by the State of Ohio and have many years of combined knowledge and experience.

Day classes:  
Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for 10 weeks.
Evening classes:
Monday through Thursday 5 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. for 12 weeks
