JOB PLACEMENT

 

We offer job placement and career planning assistance before, during and after training. Company recruiters visit TCE frequently and we are the 1st and only school in Minnesota to hold job fairs exclusively for truck driving (see Events).  We work with a variety of trucking companies and you will be given information about employer qualifications and options. Many company job applications are available at the school and can be filled out here, with the option of faxing necessary information to employers.  We will not train anyone who is not employable as a truck driver. 

 

What does "employable" mean?

 

You can have the skills to drive a truck and still not be able to get a job as a truck driver.  All trucking companies will ask for the following five things.  Before going through a training program, let us sit down with you and discuss all of your options.  If you have any questions at all about your employability, please do not hesitate to call!  We're here to discuss your career options with you.

 

  1. Motor Vehicle Report (MVR)
  2. Criminal Background Check
  3. Work History
  4. DOT Physical Exam and Drug Screen
  5. Other pre-requisites

 

In addition:

 

  • We will help you fill out and fax employment applications.
  • You will receive and have the option of choosing from one or more written and/or verbal pre-hire commitments from the large variety of truck driving companies we work with, unless you have a prior commitment with, or choose another trucking company.  You're in charge of your career!

 

Our training prepares students for all types of driving positions. The types of positions available are as follows:

 

  • Over the road (OTR) is coast-to-coast, 48 states and Canada with the option of driving with a spouse, friend or team.
  • Regional is generally within a 5-7 state area from your employer's terminal.
  • Dedicated is going from point A to point B on a regular basis, usually over 500-miles.
  • Less-Than-Load (LTL) are carriers that move many pieces of freight in a trailer from a lot of different shippers.

GRADUATES

 

Here are comments from a few of our TCE truck driving school graduates:


"I'm now making twice what I was before I started training."
Mohammad Baglary

"As an 18-year-old female I would encourage anyone of any age, especially females, to come here. Now I’m a professional truck driver and as soon as I hear that someone wants to become a truck driver I will refer him or her to TCE"
Kristin Kottke

"After 9/11, the economy and job market in the IT industry bottomed out. I wanted a job that was not dependant on a fluctuating economy so I made the transition to the transportation industry."
Scott McDowell
