Progressive Truck Driving School evolved as a result of high demand for truck drivers nationally. The trucking industry supports high safety standards, and better safety requires extensive training by well-qualified teachers.
Recent federal laws shave had a dramatic effect on everyone who drives on the nation’s highways, especially truck drivers:
• Newly obtained Commercial Drivers’ Licenses (CDL) are listed in a national registry. This registry maintains a listing of driver violations including those who are not qualified to drive.
• Drug testing is a part of the mandatory requirements.
• Department of Transportation regulations limit the time that drivers can be on duty.
• Federal law requires minimum standards of training for new truck drivers.
These changes are good for the country, for the industry, and for the professional truck driver.
• Progressive makes sure that our PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS have the proper background through education, training and experience.
• Instructors must have a minimum of 3 years experience driving and working in the trucking field.
• Instructors complete a specialized training program on how to teach and prepare new drivers for their safe futures.
• Instructors must successfully pass a rigorous examination to receive a State of Illinois certification.
• Progressive provides various types of trucks, tractors, and semi-trailers of different sizes so that students have the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge through familiarity with equipment used in today’s trucking industry.
Since its inception in 1965, Progressive Truck Driving Schoolhas graduated over 30,000 successful students.
• Our goal is to provide the trainee driver with the highest level of individualized training in order to master every skill needed for his new career.
• We at Progressive believe that professionally trained people will reach the highest paid positions with the best companies.
