Central States Safety & Driver Training

At Central States Safety & Driver Training, our focus is putting safe, skilled drivers on the road. We achieve this through a blend of classroom instruction and extensive hands-on driving experience. Because real-world practice is the best preparation for challenging road conditions, you will train directly in active driving scenarios alongside a professional instructor. You will start by mastering traffic laws and road rules in the classroom, with dedicated support to help you pass your licensing exams. From there, you will get behind the wheel to learn essential commercial driving skills, including vehicle control, proper lane positioning, double-clutching, gear shifting, backing techniques, and compliance with all traffic regulations. As a privately owned institution, we offer competitive tuition without compromising on quality. In fact, we have grown to become the largest driving school in the Midwest. We have built this reputation because we understand that a career as a professional semi-truck driver can lead to long-term financial stability and job opportunities across the country. The trucking industry currently faces a high demand for qualified drivers, and proper training is the foundation of your career success. Many major trucking companies hire directly from our graduating classes. We will equip you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to step into the industry and secure the career you want.
