Purpose-built training solution gives instructors hands-on control over mixer truck operations, addressing a critical gap in driver development across the concrete delivery industry.

ADVANCE®, A Terex Brand, a leading manufacturer of concrete mixer trucks, is producing its new Truck Trainer Cab — the first purpose-built training solution to give instructors active control over vehicle operations during training sessions.

The announcement comes as the concrete delivery industry continues to face persistent workforce challenges, with driver shortages impacting contractors nationwide. The ADVANCE® Trainer Cab is designed to accelerate driver development by moving the training experience from passive observation to active, hands-on instruction.

A New Standard for Driver Training

Unlike traditional trainer cabs that simply add a passenger seat, the ADVANCE® Trainer Cab introduces an integrated control system built specifically for instructors. Key features include a dedicated Trainer Control Panel for real-time monitoring of all mixer operations, and instructor joystick controls that allow trainers to demonstrate proper technique or intervene during critical moments — without switching seats.

The cab also features dual full-size air ride seats and industry-leading legroom, designed to accommodate extended training sessions comfortably for both driver and trainer.

"Training new mixer truck drivers is one of the most challenging aspects of concrete delivery operations," said Dave Grabner, General Manager at ADVANCE®. "Trainers need to do more than just observe — they need to demonstrate, guide, and sometimes intervene. Our Trainer Cab gives instructors the tools to provide hands-on training that builds competence and confidence faster."

Dual-Purpose Design Maximizes Fleet Value

ADVANCE® designed the Trainer Cab to function as a standard delivery truck when not in training mode, ensuring maximum fleet utilization and return on investment. The vehicle maintains the same operational efficiency and reliability the brand is known for throughout the industry.
