OUR STORY
WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST CLASS AT AMERICAN DIESEL TRAINING CENTERS IN JULY OF 2017.
SINCE THEN, WE'VE PRODUCED MORE THAN 1,000+ ENTRY-LEVEL DIESEL TECHNICIANS WHO WORK FOR COMPANIES ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
WE NOW WORK WITH MORE THAN 200+ TRANSPORTATION AND TRUCKING COMPANIES.
OUR PROMISE IS TO DELIVER AN INTENSIVE, HANDS-ON, 5 WEEK, IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO COME TO OHIO FOR TRAINING AND RETURN HOME FOR WORK.
OUR PROGRAM IS ONLY 20% OF THE TIME AND COST OF YOUR TYPICAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL.
MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE ARE PROUD OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME THROUGH OUR PROGRAM, THE LIVES WE'VE HELPED CHANGE, AND THE SERVICE WE HAVE PROVIDED TO COMPANIES IN THIS GREAT AND VITAL INDUSTRY.
FOR THE COMPANIES WHO SAY,
"WE JUST CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WORK."
WE SAY, "WE CAN!"
YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.
OUR MISSIONS
SOLVING THE HUGE SKILLS GAP
BY 2025 THERE WILL BE MORE MECHANIC OPENINGS THAN WORKING MECHANICS.
U.S. SCHOOLS ARE PRODUCING ONLY 20% OF THE MECHANICS ACTUALLY NEEDED.
WE FIND QUALITY PEOPLE, PUT THEM THROUGH A 5 WEEK, FULL TIME PROGRAM, EQUIP THEM WITH BASIC MECHANICAL SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCESSFULLY ENTER THE INDUSTRY AND GROW WITH THEIR EMPLOYER.
FIXING THE BROKEN EDUCATION SYSTEM
YOUNG PEOPLE SIMPLY AREN'T CHOOSING THIS AS A CAREER PATH.
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL TAKES TOO LONG AND IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
MANY STUDENTS DROP OUT AND/OR ARE SADDLED WITH MASSIVE LOAN DEBT.
WE CUT BOTH TIME AND COST BY 80%.
OUR 200+ EMPLOYER PARTNERS HAVE COMPLETELY VALIDATED OUR EDUCATION MODEL.
