    English for Truckers is an online English class for people who speak Spanish. It includes 4 chapters, 16 units of vocabulary, and a robust pre-trip glossary. Mostly the vocabulary is learned through music playlists, so students may want to invest in a Spotify account. English for Truckers was created by a bilingual trucker so students can learn English while driving by listening to their vocabulary words in the music they hear. Each unit has quizzes and reading exercises as well.

    To my knowledge, this is the only existing Spanish-English glossary containing pre-trip vocabulary.

    Todo es posible. Pero en este momentito, solo hay el Ingles para los choferes. Es lo único que existe bilingüe, que yo he encontrado.

    I'll check it out. Is los choferes the preferred term in Mexican Spanish? I'm assuming los camioneros is used in Europe, is that correct?
     
    Bean Jr. and ConsciousTrucker Thank this.

    Yeah, in Mexico it's either choferes or traileros. The course is designed around the United States' road system for now.

    Since the majority of our drivers speak English as their primary language let's keep any further posts on this forum in English. Thanks.

    I think it was a joke. "Is it possible to find a class for Spanish for truck drivers?"
     
    nredfor88 Thanks this.

    Similar, but closer is; That sounds very useful, but I want "Spanish for truck drivers". Is it possible?

    I was being a bit of a jack ###, but at the same time actually would like that terminology in Spanish. I've been studying it for awhile, but never using it in the context of trucking. Trying to get better.
     
    ConsciousTrucker and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    Yes, I know I didn't translate the complete sentence, and accurately. But I told the joke.
