Transportation Technology Center

Local and area trucking companies are constantly looking for qualified drivers. After taking a good, hard look at local and area needs, Iowa Central Community College launched a brand-new Semi-Truck Driving Program.

Iowa Central's new program combines a longer training period, fewer students per truck, more in-truck training, broader based instruction, and an orientation session that spells out the advantages and disadvantages of being a truck driver.

600 total hours of training.
154 hours of class room training.
236 hours of in-truck training.
210 hours of practicum or on the job training.
Graduate with a CDL license, and endorsements.
Job placement for students 18 years and older.

Iowa Central Community College has delivered semi-truck driving students to the industry since 1971. We have an excellent 92% placement (last PTDI reporting year), into the job. Semi-Truck Driving is a great paying career with excellent opportunities. Our hands on training prepares you for the career you have chosen.
