Truck Driving

Surry Community College and SAGE Technical Services are offering Professional Truck Driver Training classes at the Yadkin Center of Surry Community College located on Hwy 601 just north of Yadkinville. Day and evening classes are available. Our course trains students to become excellent drivers and employees with 124 hours of classroom instruction and 44 hours of one-on-one behind-the-wheel training. In addition, we offer 40 and 80 hour refresher courses.

Students will learn about the history of the trucking industry, operation and maintenance of the truck, trip planning and hours of service, employer and dispatch relations and much more.

One-on-one instruction on the range and road makes this program unique. The student has the undivided attention of the instructor and no distractions from other students.

We make arrangements for a third party tester to administer the road test portion of the North Carolina CDL exam to our students.

We qualify for funding through a variety of state agencies. Please contact us for more information.

Lifetime placement assistance is offered to all graduates at no additional cost. Over 90 employers hire graduates from this location, some with tuition reimbursement programs. Recruiters are scheduled to speak to students and we assist students in the application process. Many of our students have job offers before they complete the program.

If you are interested in receiving information on the course please contact one of our staff members. Class size is limited.
