Professional Truck Driver Training

OC can prepare you for a career as a professional truck driver in as little as one month. According to American Trucking Association, over half a million drivers are needed each year for the next decade. Starting salaries for long-distance professional truck drivers can average $30,000 per year. Our classes, which consist of 200 hours, include classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction, as well as screening to help qualify our trained drivers for employment.

Applicants for the program must successfully complete a pre-employment screening ($120 fee charged to the student) which includes DOT physical, drug screen, moving violation report and CDL application. Applicants must have a high school diploma, GED, or pass an assessment test and be 21 years of age or older. For more information or an appointment with the program recruiter, Marilyn Jenkins, call the OC Truck Driver School Office at 432-580-0860.
