About Us


Who We Are

Action Career Training has been in operation since June of 1987. Our primary objective is to provide superior training for future professional drivers, and to fully prepare students for employment in this ever-growing industry.

Our mission is to equip each student with the knowledge and professional skills necessary to embark on a career in the transportation industry. As one of our core values, we endeavor to assist every student with job placement opportunities so his or her success can be realized.

Our philosophy is to train and graduate skilled and competent drivers who have the knowledge, skills, and experience to confidently enter and progress in a rewarding and exciting commercial truck driving career.

Our staff at Action Career Training is experienced and well-trained. Our instructors strive to maintain excellence in the classroom by providing high quality education that includes three aspects of training: classroom, field training, and actual driving instruction.

It is my pleasure, as president of Action Career Training to personally invite you to visit one of our schools or admissions offices and find out, first hand, how A.C.T. can make your career dreams come true. Whether you are a man, a woman, or even a couple who is looking for training, ACT can offer you more than a job. We help you build a career. Let us help you down the road to a better future.

Don Balch, President
