Get on the road to a new career with the Rend Lake College Truck Driver Training Program at the RLC Ina campus.

Openings are now available for interested students to receive hands-on training from experienced instructors in late model tractor-trailers.  The next class starts June 1.

The RLC Truck Driver Training Program has trained over 1,200 drivers since 1990. This program is perfect for the person who may be unemployed or is seeking a higher-paying job. Short-term training is designed for individuals with little or no commercial driving experience.

Students receive hands-on training from experienced instructors in newer model tractor-trailers. A low student-to-instructor ratio means more personalized instruction. Individuals who complete the program receive a Commercial Driver’s License.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of truck drivers is expected to grow over the next decade. As the demands for goods increase, there will be an even greater need to keep the supply chains in motion.

Dates are subject to change. Contact RLC Community & Corporate Education at (618) 437-5321 Ext. 1367 or email CommCorpEd@rlc.edu. You can also find out more information by visiting rlc.edu/drive.
