Do you want to be a top wage earner?

Then the trucking industry is the choice to make.  Industry analysts predict that the demand for well-trained and skilled drivers will reach record setting levels. To increase your chances of gaining employment in this industry you need to be trained by experienced professionals. Consider Rodgers School of Transport Training Ltd. as your training source.

As the acknowledged leader in the field since 1981, Rodgers instructors have experience as Professional Drivers, Fleet Safety Supervisors, Driver Trainers, Truck Mechanics, and Safety and Compliance Officers. This wealth of knowledge translates to an Industry leading pass rate in excess of 98%.

Unlike most truck training programs, Rodgers School training is one-on-one.  There is never more than one student in a truck.  You won’t find groups of students crowded into a truck for “observation time”.  Observation time simply means that students sit in the truck and watch each other drive.  Trucking schools often do this to cut their own costs and artificially inflate the total hours of “Behind the Wheel” training, most of which the student is not driving.  Rodgers believes observation offers minimal instruction value.  You will learn to drive by driving, not watching. At Rodgers School the focus is on you.  We value our students, their safety and their training. Rodgers does not compromise this to save money by training several students in a truck.  Your training is too important to us.

About growing in the industry

With ergonomic seat design improving, along with newer trucks offering a smoother ride, drivers are able to continue their career as long as the road lures them.  Yet some drivers prefer to move on and seek fresher goals after their experience on the road.  Drivers can look forward to advancing their careers by consulting, instructing, inspecting, some get work in the offices of their companies.  Since a driver sees so much and gains so many experiences on the road, a lot of doors will open for them along the way.  It’s an exciting time in the transport industry and you’re going to be glad to be a part of it. 

Sometimes employers will sponsor their employees to upgrade their skills with us.  Some people work with their banks.  Others who are collecting government benefits are sponsored through their programs for training with us.  Some students pay as they go.  If you’d like to arrange a suitable payment plan, your best bet is to pick up the phone and call us – we’ve dealt with just about every situation that can arise and we’d love to try to help you with yours.

 About the commercial driving industry

You’ve made a good choice considering a career as a commercial driver.  Driver’s account for the most employed males in the country, with women quickly catching up.   Husbands and wives often team up to drive long haul throughout North America.  Some people like to travel and others like the freedom of being on the “open road”.  Others prefer to drive the short haul to spend the maximum time with their families.  As a result of higher industry standards and

tougher legislation, the modern commercial driver is treated as a professional, with above average wages and excellent benefit packages.

Transport companies are gearing the driving industry towards families with more flexible hours and available family resources.  Technological innovations like truck navigation systems and cutting edge communications systems provide drivers and their families with security and the ability to keep in touch.
