Southern Missouri Truck Driving School

SMTDS students will learn every aspect of tractor trailer driving in a curriculum that includes operating practices, maintenance, coupling and uncoupling and actual over-the-road training. A low student-to- teacher ratio allows our experienced instructors to provide individualized attention and training. Students must meet specific qualifications for admission and tuition is affordable.

Since 1997, the SMTDS staff has helped men and women learn a new and rewarding career in the ever-expanding trucking industry. Our instructors are qualified and experienced in the transportation industry. In the classroom, there are never more than eight students per instructor. When training advances to actual driving on the highway, the student-to- instructor ratio changes to two-to-one. Students will have received actual behind-the-wheel instruction and practice at our facilities prior to highway driving.
