Grand Prairie sits on top of one of the busiest industrial corridors in the nation — the Great Southwest Industrial District, a sprawling complex of warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing straddling Grand Prairie and Arlington. Add CenterPoint and the logistics parks along SH-161 and I-30, and there's constant demand for drivers who can handle tight docks and regional runs.
For ACE grads from Grand Prairie, the commute to work after graduation is short: LTL and regional distribution jobs, dock-heavy local routes, and dedicated runs are all minutes from home. We drill the exact backing and docking skills those distribution jobs demand — because in this district, that's the work.
From south Grand Prairie, head south on Hwy 360 or US-287 toward Mansfield — our campus at 950 Trinity Drive, Mansfield, TX 76063 is about 15 minutes away. Drop in to see the trucks and the training yard any weekday.
