Testimonials

“One of the biggest lies told to my generation is that you have to have a degree to be successful. As someone who has a four year degree, I can say that in my experience, there is much more of a demand for trades such as CDL, Carpentry, welding, and heavy equipment operators. The average starting salary of a person who attains a bachelors degree is roughly 50k, which is less than what I’m making driving trucks. I also get to be home every night, and get to the gym every morning. Both of which are very important to me. With that being said, I do not regret my degree, and I even have plans to eventually complete a masters program. However, common sense tells people to do what makes them the most. Get a trade.”

JASON R. | ALASKA

“I attended two months of heavy equipment training and one month of CDL. Had a great time learning. Very educated instructors. Met a lot of new friends. Right out of CDL I started driving a dump truck for a custom home builder and every day I’m either driving or operating a dozer or excavator. I can not say enough for the education I received in heavy and (CDL) driving.”

“I went into West Coast Training with very little knowledge of heavy equipment or trucks. After finishing the training, it only took me two weeks to find a job thanks to the staff. I am working for a major excavation contractor driving water trucks, dozers, loaders and track hoes. West Coast Training was a key player in helping me prepare for this industry and for my future success working in it. “
