Transportation

The truck driving industry is growing and there is a long-term shortage of drivers. Truck drivers deliver everything from automobiles to foods and supplies found in stores. Businesses rely on trucks for pickup and delivery of goods since no other form of transportation can deliver these products door to door.

Riverland Community College offers comprehensive truck driving training programs. These programs are designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a career in the trucking industry. The curriculum covers various aspects of truck driving, including safety procedures, vehicle maintenance, and road regulations. Students can expect hands-on training and instruction to prepare them for the commercial driver's license (CDL) examination. With a focus on practical skills and safety, Riverland's truck driving training provides an excellent foundation for those looking to enter this in-demand field.
