About Us

Advantage Driver Training is committed to training and producing professional drivers to help fill the growing need for the trucking industry. As a Secretary of State licensed commercial driving school, you can be assured of receiving the best training available, by state licensed instructors with over 100 years of combined driving experience. Located conveniently off I55 and IL Rte. 52 (Jefferson St.) in Joliet, IL, our 23 acre campus is currently home to 3-40’x240′ “skills yards”, each with its own 48 foot tractor/trailer rig and instructor for your learning experience. New construction in underway for a 150 car paved student parking lot as well as two additional skills yards. With our fleet of more than 10 48′ semi tractor/trailer rigs, we are committed to providing not only the best learning environment possible for our students, but also the safest. We have an intense “pre-trip” program which not only makes students final driving tests easier, but also helps make them safer drivers and brings them home every day.

Once you enroll with us, you join our family, train, test and then graduate into your new career of “Professional Truck Driving”…And of course, as part of our alumni you are always welcome to stop in and “Check-Out” our extensive “Job Board” of over “100” local driving jobs.

Our staff of over 18 “Certified CDL Instructors” have embarked upon this teaching career because they possess an inner drive and desire to teach students and watch them progress to professional drivers. Each instructor has a CDL-A License and several are retired, bringing with them years upon years of O.T.R. experience as well as intermodal City experience.

“Bottom Line“…If you want experience and expertise…You want “Advantage Driver Training“!
