Proudly Serving Veterans
If you’re looking to build a career in heavy equipment operation, PTS is one of the top training schools in the nation — and our compactor training is a prime example of the hands-on, career-ready education we provide. PTS’s compactor training will give you the tools you need to operate various machines, including smooth wheel rollers, sheep-foot rollers, and pneumatic-tired rollers.
Each of these compactor types plays a distinct role on the job site: finishing asphalt and grading surfaces, compacting cohesive soils like clay, or applying uniform pressure across surfaces, making them highly versatile for both soil and asphalt compaction tasks.
Understanding which machine to use — and how to use it safely and efficiently — requires more than reading a manual. That’s why PTS combines classroom instruction with real, in-the-seat practical experience. With our program mix, students receive the training they need to operate various equipment types with confidence.
