Trucker Path has partnered with the National Association of Publicly Funded Truck Driving Schools (NAPFTDS) to bring its trip-planning, navigation and parking availability tools into CDL classrooms and behind-the-wheel training programs across the US.

This initiative gives students first-hand experience with the same data-driven insights professional drivers use daily to plan routes, locate safe parking, and manage time more efficiently, the company said in a news release.

The collaboration roll out also includes joint educational sessions, app access for instructors and students, and a series of best-practice webinars highlighting how schools can integrate driver-tech platforms into their CDL programs.

“Every driver entering the industry should understand the tools and technology shaping modern trucking,” said Chris Oliver, chief marketing officer at Trucker Path. “By partnering with NAPFTDS, we’re helping CDL schools prepare students for real-world conditions. Everything from trip planning to truck stop selection to compliance with changing safety standards.”

“Trucker Path brings invaluable expertise and technology that perfectly aligns with NAPFTDS’s mission to advance public truck driver training, resulting in enhanced curriculum effectiveness and better-prepared graduates,” said Martin Garsee, executive director of NAPFTDS.
