Our Fleet
IITR Road Tractor-Trailers
Our road tractor-trailers used for on the road training are what is actually used in our industry today. Your tractor-trailer training will be predetermined prior to starting the road and yard portion of our program. This insures you will receive a quality training program and not a "whatever is available today" schedule used by other less structured schools. Our road tractors are modern, well maintained and exceptionally nice conventional tractors designed with your education in mind. We have Cummins, Cat, Detroit engines as well as a variety of transmission patterns. All of our road trailers are loaded and range from 27', 40', 45', 48' vans, doubles, and a flatbed.
IITR Yard Tractor-Trailers
Our yard tractor-trailers have also been selected to simulate the typical vehicle used in the transportation industry. In addition to driving forward, at IITR, our students are taught all yard maneuvers. These maneuvers include pre-trip, in-route and post-trip inspections. Our backing maneuvers consist of straight backing, sightside angle backing, and blindside angle backing. Maneuvers are practiced with conventional and cabover tractors using long and short trailers. Other yard maneuvers include installing tire chains, adjusting brakes, raising cabs, sliding 5th wheels and tandem axles. All maneuvers are practiced on a well lit, black topped lot utilizing stripes, cones, barrels, and stopping blocks to simulate loading docks.
If you want to steer clear of "no's" on your job application upon graduation, experience the broad range of tractor-trailer combinations and real life simulations IITR has to offer.
