Heavy equipment operator training at 5th Wheel Training Institute is done at our massive training yards. We have different scenarios laid out so that you learn skills regardless of the time of year or what else might be happening around you.
We don’t lease space at an offsite pit, where we can only do exercises when and where the owner wants us to, or where we won’t get in the way of other commercial operations. Our training yards are built and maintained to assure students learn skills that employers require from new entry-level employees.
If the piece of equipment breaks down during training, you don’t have to wait till it’s repaired. We carry a wide inventory of name brand equipment to assure you will get the time promised to you.
So if you are considering heavy equipment operator training, we hope you will come out and see the difference.
