EXPERIENCED DRIVERS
ALBANY, OREGON — LOCALLY OWNED
Trained by People Who've Actually Done This
NW Trucking Academy is a small, locally owned school in Albany, run by David Stahl and Steve Wilt — two owner-operators who spent their careers behind the wheel before they ever stood in front of a class. They started NWTA to give new drivers safe, thorough, hands-on training that sets them up for a long career on the road.
WHY TRUCKING
A Career That Actually Pays Off
Real Pay
$71,090 a year on average. No degree, no student loans — just 4 weeks of training between you and a paycheck that beats most entry-level office jobs.
Real Security
Freight doesn't stop moving. Trucking is short on qualified drivers, so your skills stay in demand — not just this year, but for the length of your career.
Real Freedom
Trade the cubicle for the open road. Trucking means variety, independence, and a schedule that doesn't look like everyone else's.
HOW WE TRAIN
Small Classes.
Actual Seat Time.
At NWTA, classes stay small and you're in the driver's seat from day one, so you get plenty of hands-on time behind the wheel. You'll learn by driving, not just watching.
