USTDS (United States Truck Driving School)

US Truck ensures that after graduation our students are ready to be reliable, safe, and skilled truck drivers. We pride ourselves on helping our students prepare for their life-long careers as truckers. 

The History of our Truck Driving School 

United States Truck Driving School (USTDS) was founded in 1958 by John Mauro, a former Indy 500 racecar driver. Mauro started the truck driving school in response to the rising demand for professional truck drivers 

During the past 5 decades, USTDS has grown from a single-track operation to one of the largest commercial driver training companies in the nation.

During those years, USTDS successfully maneuvered through major industry changes, including the deregulation of the trucking industry, increased environmental constraints, heightened Federal and State safety rules, industry-altering technology, and constant changes in financing parameters of vocational schools.

Since 1978, USTDS has been a privately owned family business incorporated in the state of Colorado, operating two separate driver training centers in the state. Each campus utilizes modern tractor-trailer rigs, high quality trainers and offers lifetime job placement support in trucking careers for its graduates. 

In 2021 USTDS was procured by The CDL School, a TransForce company, and now has access to campuses across the country. By joining The CDL School, USTDS is able to further support U.S. military veterans through the companies Troops Into Transportation program. Today, USTDS continues to strive for the success of their drivers and to set the bar for quality Commercial Driver education in Colorado.
