On the highway, skilled truckers can save lives; learn from the best

At SWTDT, we can talk all day about our awesome truck wraps, friendly staff, and how great our instructors are. However, we also need to give our students and prospective students a reminder of why it is important to get the best, most attentive training, available to you. 
Did you know that our instructors have millions of accident-free miles under their belts? 
Did you know that, when necessary, we will take the extra time help you advance in a particular area that you're struggling with?
We want you to have the same successful track record that our instructors have, and the only way to do this is to give you the proper attention and training from the start. 

Many times, things can go wrong and it is beyond your control. In 2012, the United States saw 333,000 large trucks involved in accidents. 75% of those accidents were caused by drivers of other, smaller vehicles. However, most accidents that occur were usually within the control of the driver. Also in 2012, large trucks accounted for 4% of all registered vehicles, and large trucks were involved in 8% of all vehicle crashes involving fatalities. While the amount of fatal crashes involving truckers has gone up in the past 4 years, most of all recorded semi truck accidents result only in property damage.

Southwest Truck Driver Training has been sending out responsible and skilled drivers into the industry for the past 16 years. Because our instructors were successful truckers themselves with proved track records, and they know how to prepare you for the road ahead. From proper pre-trip inspections to smart driving to making sure that you are well-rested before getting behind the wheel again, SWTDT covers every issue that drivers face today... plus, we really do have some awesome trucks.

Give us a call at one of our three convenient locations, and we can get you started on the road to a brighter future.
