Parker Profession­al Driving School is ready to guide you every step of the way toward your new and exciting career in profession­al driving.

Since 1996, Parker has provided aspiring profession­al tractortra­iler, truck and bus drivers with the topquality training needed to obtain their Class A or Class B Commercial Driver’s License.

What sets Parker apart is our commitment to helping students begin a rewarding chapter in their profession­al lives.

Whether it’s through our pay-as-you-go program or our on-campus road-test accommodat­ions, Parker is here to help you succeed.

As older drivers retire, there are expected to be fewer younger drivers to take their place. The U.S. Department of Transporta­tion estimates 2 million truck-driving positions need to be filled by 2018.

When you train for your CDL at Parker Profession­al Driving School, you’ll learn everything you need to embark on an exciting career.

Parker covers all the bases before you even sign up, with free informatio­n sessions held every month at our campus in Avon, at 1113 Robbie Road in the Avon Industrial Park.

You’ll meet our instructor­s, get your questions answered and learn about financing options and our pay-as-you-go program. We are proud to offer this option, which allows for single, oneon-one private lessons when it fits your schedule and budget.

When you begin training with Parker, you’ll find a team of experience­d profession­al drivers focused on helping you begin your driving career.

First, you’ll learn the basics in the classroom. Then you’ll receive on-the-road, one-on-one instructio­n in our modern, private fleet of tractor-trailers, trucks and buses.

Our certified courses are offered weekdays and weekends. We can accommodat­e Spanish-, Portuguese-and French-speaking students.

When it’s time for your road test, Parker will still be by your side. We arrange for state police troopers to administer the exam at our campus, so you can take the road test in a vehicle similar to the one you trained in and on the same course.

Once you have your CDL, our job placement specialist­s will work one-on-one with you to prepare your resume, practice interview techniques and discuss job openings.

While some drivers opt for long-haul and distance runs, many jobs offer scheduling flexibilit­y and the chance to be home every night.

Taking that first step toward a rewarding new career is easy with Parker. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation ride and drive in one of our trucks or buses.
