About Our Training Site
Our School
National Truck Driver School is located in north Florida 20 miles south of Jacksonville, Florida in Green Cove Springs. The main administration offices are located in Orange Park. The School was established in 1978 as a private institution. Since its inception the School has successfully trained over 30,000 graduates. Unlike many other schools and community colleges, Truck Driver training is a large part of our business, so our entire staff is able to focus on the issue of quality truck driver training and the successful placement of each one of our graduates into a quality starting tractor-trailer driver job.
Administration Building
Administration Departments are located within 8,000 square feet of space at 188 College Drive, Orange Park, Florida. This building houses the school management, educational services, student services, curriculum development, job placement departments and shipping and receiving department.
Resident Training Complex
Students attending any of our offered Diesel Semi Tractor Trailer Driver Programs will receive the benefit of training on our custom designed multimillion dollar modern training grounds. We believe our 365 acre training complex is one of the largest and best equipped in the United States. We utilize 7,000 square feet of classroom space and several other ancillary buildings for maintenance of equipment and storage. In addition, the National Truck Driving School students are able to receive critical safety driver training on our private 1-1/4 mile skills track located on the training complex.
Resident Training Equipment
National Training, Inc. provides and maintains a quality fleet of tractor trailers that are provided our students during their training experience. We feature the top manufacturers of truck tractors such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, White-GMC, International and Freightliner. The road fleet is comprised of late model tractors which are comparable to the exact road tractors that are currently on our nation's highways.
The School pays particular attention to equipment variety, not only to the name brands, but also in the power trains utilized in our training fleet. We feature engines from 300 HP to 450 HP. Our fleet is represented by all of the major component manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel Series II. Our truck transmissions range from 9 speed, 10 speed, super 10 speed and 13 speed.
The trailer fleet is represented by a large section of manufacturers. We currently utilize 45 and 48 foot van trailers. Some of which have sliding tandem axles.
Instructional Staff
The training instructors are made up of friendly individuals who have years of practical experience as professional tractor trailer drivers. All of our instructors attend training classes conducted by the State of Florida. Each instructor is required to be licensed by the State of Florida, Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
