In June of 1977, Everett G. Nord opened the first of what was to become one of the many successful branches of Western Truck School. Today you can find Western Truck School campuses, training new professional drivers, throughout the western United States.

Western Truck School was started with one truck and one instructor in a small rented office space in West Sacramento, California. As Western Truck School's reputation for quality driver training has grown, so has the number and size of Western Truck Schools.
We have campus locations in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. A school does not become successful and grow throughout the years unless they offer the training that students require and what today's trucking industry demands.

Over the years, the professional instructors at Western Truck School have trained thousands of men and women to be professional truck drivers.
