Simulator
The Parnell Commercial Driving School is one of the only training programs in the area where students can practice their skills on an advanced simulator. The simulator allows students to familiarize themselves with a truck, its components, and road and traffic conditions before being placed in a real truck.
Practicing skills with our state-of-the-art simulator allows students to build confidence while learning how to control the vehicle and learn the shifting pattern. The simulator replicates different scenarios, such as traffic issues, high wind, snow, and rain. This is as real life as it gets!
