Continuing Education Program

Transportation companies from all across the United States choose Shelly Driving School for continual and remedial education. At our training facility, we utilize state-of-the-art truck driving simulators to test drivers in both common and unexpected scenarios, ensuring proper training no matter the driver’s experience level. By running through the simulations, your driver can sharpen their skills in the following areas:

  • Gain confidence in the cab
  • Help a driver get back behind the wheel after an accident
  • Sharpen essential road skills
  • Improve reaction times
  • Hone maneuverings skills

and more…

And, if enrolling a driver in a full-time training program isn’t the right fit, time on our simulators can be purchased on nights, weekends, or whenever our regularly scheduled classes are out on the road, offering flexible solutions to continuing your driver’s education.

Excellent instructors that take the time to work with each student where needed so they will excel. Great equipment to train with both in the classroom and on the road. Santos, Joe, Bob and all the other instructors will teach you the needed skills to obtain your CDL and what you need to be successful in the trucking industry. I am extremely happy that I chose this program and would suggest it to anyone that is looking to obtain a CDL license.

Glad I went with Shelly. The instructors were great. They had answers and insights to various aspects of the industry and took their job of teaching you seriously. Being a 3rd party tester, you test in the same trucks you’ve practiced in. Highly reccomend to anyone looking to get into the industry to go here.

Tyreek Foreman (Google review)

Would 100% recommend. Going into trucking from a career of accounting was not the easiest. All the concepts of trucking, engines, etc. were completely foreign to me. No matter how much of a hassle it was to teach me, or how slow of a learner I was, THEY MADE SURE I GOT IT AND UNDERSTOOD IT. The main thing for me was, they were patient with me. They will absolutely not give up on you. Joe, Geoff, Santos, Paul, Bob, Jermey, Dom, Kurt. I will never forget how great you guys were. Much appreciation

This is an amazing school, with top notch instructors. During my time there, I learned from all of the instructors and they each had different things to teach and add to the training. This school not only gets you prepared for the CDL test, but also teaches skills that give you a head start once you are out and working. The patience of these instructors is top tier.
