The mission of the Truck Driving Academy at SFSC is to cultivate safe drivers, bolster companies, and foster community growth.

SFSC’s program covers:

  • Department of Transportation (DOT) rules and regulations, safety, logs, and other legal issues that apply to trucking and transportation.
  • Vehicle systems, safe vehicle operation, and hazardous materials
  • Personal finances, business math, and public and employer relations
  • Extensive hands-on experience with emergency equipment, safety operations, and preventive maintenance

Truck-Driving Simulator

SFSC’s truck-driving simulator allows students to train on different terrain and weather conditions that cannot be experienced in the state of Florida. Students prepare for driving throughout the nation and the variety of roads and conditions they will encounter. Instructors can replicate any driving situation and train students on the proper protocol for steering through it.
