Sandy Springs-based UPS plans to open a driver training facility in Duluth.

The Atlanta-area facility called UPS Integrad will open in December to teach drivers by using simulations, classroom instruction and webcasts, along with an outside course to replicate a small town called “Clarkville USA.”

Drivers go through five days of training with classes of about 24 students.

The company opened it first UPS Integrad driver training facility in Landover, Md. in 2007, and it now has sites in the Chicago area; Portland, Ore.; Phoenix; Dallas and Menlo Park, Calif.
