MICHAEL MOSCINSKI: Trainco Truck Driving Schools was established in 1996, and we've been doing it for nearly 20 years and we provide truck driver training education for individuals that want to learn how to drive a commercial motor vehicle. An average day is kind of a long day for a truck driver. By law a truck driver can work up to a 14 hour day and of those 14 he's allowed to drive 11 of them. So that's, that's longer than your typical 8 hour day at a factory or at an office. But at the same time, you're out and about. You're seeing the country so it's kind of relaxing. You get to mingle with people. 

KENNETH HOWELL: If you're an independent person that doesn't like to have somebody looking over your shoulder and you can, you can, you can kind of manage yourself and manage your time, you're not going to like this, you're going to love this.

MICHAEL MOSCINSKI: What an individual needs to do is get some book knowledge and that's where they learn their um, we call it the book skills, and they earn a CDL learners permit. And with that permit then, they're able to drive with a licensed CDL driver and that's what we use in school to take them out on the road so we can teach them how to drive a truck. So they come to school and they earn their certificate to finish the program, and that's the certificate from Trainco truck driving schools. But when they still finish the schooling or training part, they have to go take the actual CDL driving exam with the state of Ohio to earn their actual drivers license. 
There's various segments of trucking. There's what we call over the road, and those are kind of the dying breed of truck drivers as we call them now today. The big category still is regional. A regional driver is going to be gone maybe 4 5 6 days at a time. There's a great deal of jobs in that sector of the industry. And then the third category is the local jobs. Those are the people that are home every day and then they drive every night, or home every night and drive every day. um, there's becoming more and more local jobs because our industry is needing drivers so desperately. 

KENNETH HOWELL: And it pays so well. I mean our starting drivers are leaving here out of truck driving school going into between 40 and 50 thousand a year to start and then on up from there. 

MICHAEL MOSCINSKI: I fell just having that high school diploma should be very sufficient for what you want to do. Um, when it comes to trucking, I mean, being able to read and understand the language is important, doing some basic math is important, some basic science. Get your driver's license and then drive as safe as you possibly can. Try and keep your record accident free, violation free, so drive safe. The other thing is stay out of trouble just within the law. And also, um, get a job. Any job is important. I mean what we look for in the trucking industry just like any other industry is a work history. If you can find it in the transportation sector, that's awesome. If schooling or college is not your game, this should be your game. 

KENNETH HOWELL: Not everybody is college material. Or, you get people that come in here, they attended a four year college, they can't find a job in their field and then they say "guess what Ken, I'm making more money than I did in my chosen field." Truck driving is not, you know it's just a, it's a much better, we're a licensed profession, let me say it like that, just like nursing and all the rest as of April of 92. The pay has went up considerably. I really think that they need to consider this. The benefits for truck drivers are wonderful. And I just hope that  there's a whole lot more, you know, graduates from high school that are going to watch this and think "wow you know what I never thought about truck driving, but geez I could be graduating from high school and two months later I could be making 50 thousand dollars a year.
