Meet Our Instructors
Jason Grasso – CDL Training Manager
With a 15-year career in the entertainment industry as a technical director, I developed a strong foundation in logistics, coordination, and team leadership. That experience naturally led me into the field of education, where I discovered a passion for teaching, mentoring, and helping others grow professionally. Ultimately, this path brought me to the trucking industry—where my diverse background uniquely positioned me to guide and support others entering the field. Today, with 3 years as a certified driving instructor, combined with real-world experience, instructional insight, and industry knowledge, I am able to help individuals launch successful careers in commercial driving through a high-quality CDL training program at Page Training Center.

Page Trucking / Page Training Center
Keith Franklin brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his role as a CDL Driving Instructor at Page Training Center, where he plays a key role in the Safety Department. With a career rooted in service and transportation, Keith’s journey began in the U.S. Army, where he served from 1989 to 1998, including eight years of active duty and one year with the Georgia National Guard. During his military service, he was a battalion bus driver and trained others as a motor pool driver trainer, laying the foundation for his lifelong commitment to safe and skilled driving.
Keith transitioned to the trucking industry in the early 2000s, starting his civilian driving career hauling chickens in Georgia, earning his stripes as an “original chicken hauler.” In 2009, he moved to New York and joined Gypsum Express, where he completed their “Train the Trainer” program and became a driver trainer, further honing his instructional skills.
Today, Keith continues to expand his expertise. He currently holds a certification as a nationally certified motorcycle rider coach and is a New York State certified driver instructor. His passion for safety, training, and mentorship makes him an invaluable asset to the Page Training Center team.
