Truck Driver Training

The PDI / Illinois Central College Tractor Trailer Driver Training program is designed for individuals with little or no commercial driving experience. The program includes everything you will need. You will receive a Department of Transportation Physical, Commercial Driver's License learner's permit and endorsement preparation, Department of Transportation rules and regulations, log books, map reading, trip planning, and complete vehicle training to prepare you for an entry-level position in the trucking industry. In addition, the program includes the Illinois Secretary of State administered Class A road test.

• A certificate is awarded upon completion.
• The program can be completed in 4 weeks by attending full-time, Monday through Friday 8:00am-4:30pm. The part-time evening program can be completed in 8 weeks, Monday through Friday 6:00pm-10:00pm. Thirty (30) hours of home study is required during the program. Classes meet at the ICC East Peoria campus.
• The ICC Tractor/Trailer Driver Training Program works with many trucking companies that will pre-hire students. The fact is, truck driving is one of the few occupations where students who complete training are almost certain to go to work immediately. Most students receive several job offers prior to completion of their training.
