GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS

 


Graduate January 2002

Truck Driver Training Program

 

Before even graduating from TCE, I was pre-hired with Werner.  The staff took care of everything that was needed to get a job with them.  I drove OTR, dedicated and regional routes with them for a couple of years.  I eventually became a trainer and made some pretty good money doing it.  One year I took the first few months off for vacation and still grossed $57-58,000.

Graduate May 2003

Truck Driver Training Program with Externship

 

I took the Truck Driver Training Program with Externship and was able to pay for it with a combination of sponsorship from Hired, a non-profit employment organization, and a low interest State loan. The staff at Transportation Center for Excellence was really nice and willing to work with students and explain trucking information. They seemed like they enjoyed it. I had the pleasure to learn from instructors who were great, very understanding and willing to answer any questions the students had....

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
