Hill College and Frontier Support Logistics cut ribbon to kick off new driving school partnership in Hillsboro.

Hill College is now registering for the truck driving academy in new partnership with Frontier Support Logistics, LLC. On Wednesday, October 23rd 2024 at 10:00 am, the ribbon cutting was held to officially kick off the new program.

Hillsboro, Texas: The CDL Program consists of two courses, a total of 240 hours over either a six-week, in-person course or a hybrid four-week course. Enrollment for the CDL program is open and the first cohort will begin classes November 1, 2024. This new program will produce CDL-trained truck drivers, positions that are in high demand across the state and nation. Truck drivers provide a vital role in state, national, and global trade and commerce and this program will provide Hill College students the opportunity to enter the industry with the necessary training and certifications to succeed. Financial assistance is also available to students that qualify.

The new partnership with Hill College and Frontier Support Logistics (FSL) fulfills an increasing need for both classroom and driving training in Texas and will provide Hill College students the opportunity to complete a commercial driver’s license (CDL) training program certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

“The creation of this partnership with FSL will allow Hill College to make a direct impact on the local community and the state by supplying Texas with the necessary 7.43% increase (or 224,224 drivers) in the need for heavy haul and tractor-trailer drivers. Students will leave with a high-demand certificate of completion and a class-A commercial driver’s license. We are thrilled about this partnership and look forward to the added value this will bring to the community, employers, and students who will benefit from this program,” said Vice President of Student Learning & Success Irene Accomando from Hill College.
