The chief objective of the Professional Tractor-trailer Driver Training Program offered by Shippers’ Choice of Virginia, Inc. is to train qualified individuals in the knowledge and skills needed to obtain a job entry level position in the trucking industry. Shippers’ Choice instructs its students in the practical operation of tractor-trailer trucks. Students are taught the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as they apply to the operation of commercial vehicles. Upon graduation, our students must be able to safely operate a tractor-trailer, have a working knowledge of the equipment, and be able to pass state administered licensing tests. In addition, students must be able to successfully complete the required written examinations and road tests administered by both the school and potential employers.  

As a secondary objective, students achieve the self-confidence needed to secure employment. This is accomplished through thorough testing and evaluation of each student.

    To most of our perspective students, having a good job with a good income means not only a higher standard of living, but an increased feeling of self- respect. Shippers’ Choice of Virginia, Inc. through its training program, provides an educational vehicle that individuals may use to provide a more productive and successful future and achieve their employment goals in an economical way. The need for training in this field is dramatic, as the trucking industry is second only to agriculture in employment.
