New England Tractor Trailer Training School

What New England Tractor Trailer Training School does

New England Tractor Trailer Training School (NETTTS) is a privately held, family-owned vocational career-training operator founded in 1965 in Somers, Connecticut, and headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts. It delivers entry-level Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Class A and Class B programs and a Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) technician program across four physical campuses in Somers, CT; Bridgeport, CT; Haverhill, MA; and Pawtucket, RI. Training combines classroom instruction, hands-on driving on a manual-transmission-equipped fleet, on-site CDL driving and shifting simulators, and at-home 3-D HVAC simulation, and it is delivered by instructors with a minimum of three years of professional CDL road experience. Programs are ACCSC-accredited since 1982, FMCSA ELDT-compliant, and listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tuition payments for CDL and HVACR programs, supplemented by a professional-services employer-training line covering safety, compliance, license upgrades, FMCSA rule training, and DOT audit preparedness for private fleets, municipalities, and state DOTs across CT, MA, RI, NH, and NY. A material channel-driver is the Amazon Career Choice partnership, which routes eligible Amazon employees into paid CDL Class A enrollment. The company sells direct-to-consumer through campus admissions, website request forms, phone, and active social channels (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, blog), and direct-to-enterprise through on-site employer training and an employer-facing "Hire Our Grads" recruiting channel. Financial aid, federal Pell grants, GI Bill benefits, state workforce funding, and need-based in-house payment plans are extended to qualifying students. The company remains under continuous family ownership since 1981, with Mark Greenberg serving as President, and has celebrated 60 years of operation in 2025.
