Build Confidence
Before You Ever Get Behind the Wheel
At Alamo Truck Driver Training, we understand that starting your CDL journey can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never sat behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle.
That’s why we include access to the L3Harris TranSim Truck Driving Simulator as part of your training.
This advanced technology allows students to safely practice real-world scenarios and essential driving skills before stepping into a truck, helping you build confidence and improve your chances of passing the road test.
