Content Themes
The podcast focuses on topics relevant to the trucking industry, particularly the education and training of new drivers. Key episodes cover challenges like test anxiety, effective teaching strategies, mentorship importance, and the dynamics of establishing a positive driver culture. Specific examples include discussions about the transition from teacher roles to CDL educators and the curriculum at various training institutions.
Education Station is about “who’s next.” It’s a conversation with trainers, saftey experts, executives, and educational leaders about creating the future employees of the trucking industry. Methodologies of teaching, onboarding new classroom technologies, and, perhaps most importantly, imparting institutional wisdom to a new generation of trucking are all on the lesson plan.
On this episode of Education Station, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Mike Moscinski, Vice President of Trainco Truck Driving Schools, for an in-depth conversation about CDL training, driver standards, and the future of professional truck driving.duca
Mike brings more than 30 years of experience in driver training and CDL examination, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how quality training programs differ from fly-by-night operations. The discussion dives into Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements, federal and state compliance, and why regulators are increasingly cracking down on substandard training providers.
Jimmy and Mike explore what examiners look for during CDL tests, the importance of process, repetition, and foundational skills, and how proper training directly impacts safety, employability, and long-term career success. They also discuss how professional driving schools help students from all walks of life—from young drivers to career changers—build not just driving skills, but a clear career path that fits their lifestyle and home life.
The conversation also covers hands-on training versus shortcuts, simulator use, real-world experience, industry hiring expectations, and what trucking companies truly want from new drivers in today’s highly regulated environment.
