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.
