The curriculum for Commercial Truck Driving has been designed by NCST and is one of the leading programs in the industry. Our program provides the qualifications necessary for a variety of entry-level positions for drivers of both open road and local route vehicles.

At NCST, there is great focus on the basics of trucks, both the industry and the driving. Students are also taught the basics of operating trucks and tractor-trailers. Prior experience or education in truck driving is not required although there are certain qualifications all candidates for NCST's programs must meet.

Individuals, who attend the 6-week Commercial Truck Driving program on weekdays, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, will be able to graduate in just about eight weeks. Once a student graduates, he or she will be able to proudly acquire a career as a tractor-trailer driver, delivery truck driver, van driver, and as much more. If weekend classes are more convenient, NCST offers the Commercial Truck Driving program on a 15-week part time basis.
