Minnesota Truck Driving School, Transportation Center for Excellence (TCE) Announces Their Investment in a Truck Driving Simulator
Eagan, MN November 21, 2003 - Transportation Center for Excellence (TCE), a truck driving school committed to helping students achieve their career and income goals, today announces a new addition to their current training tools, a Truck Transmission Training Simulator (TranSim).
Although TranSim appears to be a driving simulator equivalent to those found in amusement arcades, it is much more sophisticated. The computerized simulator offers truckers-in-training a safe shifting and double clutching on-the-job experience prior to actually getting behind the wheel.
"With unemployment so high, we've seen a considerable growth of interest in truck driving from jobseekers searching for a career that isn't dependent on the fluctuating economy, " said Don Vance, TCE president. "With TranSim, TCE offers a valuable tool for new students, educating them on the most difficult task of shifting and making the transition to the real truck a safe and easy one."
Even though TranSim does not take the place of an actual driving experience, it helps students practice and see the differences between shifting with different loads and grades before they try it behind the wheel of a real tractor-trailer. After training on TranSim, students are much more confident in their double clutching and shifting skills.
"TCE prides itself on providing the best one-on-one road training in actual traffic everyday," said Vance. "We have found that by adding TranSim to our training program our students have a great new way to get acclimated to truck driving and at the same time we are producing a better standard of drivers."
