CDL Job Opportunities Find a Good CDL SchoolIf you are looking for trucking schools you have probably making a career change and looking to make more money. The trucking industry is a great place to get a good career job and make lots of money with job security. Now you need to find the right trucking school that will fit all of your needs. Some important things to keep in mind when comparing trucking schools are: The Price of the Trucking School Location One on one time with a CDL Instructor The Length of the Trucking School Skid pad Training Truck Driver Job Placement Compare trucking school prices and see if they have applications for grants. Make sure you don't have to travel to far at your own expense. Most schools will pay you for traveling. Will you have to pay for lodging and meals? Will there be 6 students to one instructor or 3-4? Make sure you ask. The lower the number of students per instructor, the more quality time you will have driving. You don't want to spent half a year at a trucking school! You also don't want a one week "Give us your money, here's your CDL" class either. Three to five weeks is about average for a decent trucking school. You will be driving a truck so you had better learn how to actually drive a truck as well as get your CDL. A skid pad is a giant special surface lot that is wet with water. It is used to practice recovering from skid in a truck. This is good training and I would recommend finding a trucking school that has a skid pad. Learning on the skid pad instead of the highway is a good idea. Finding a trucking school with Job placement is extremely important! What good is a CDL if you have zero experience and know one will hire you. Some trucking companies that hire new drivers require that you go through their truck driver training program first, thus you are paying for your CDL twice. I'm sure you don't want to do that! Sometimes going through a company training program is the best option for you. A trucking company school will want to train you properly because you will be driving their trucks and you be working for them as soon as you are done with trucking school. Some major trucking company schools that train their own drivers are: 1. Schneider National 2. Swift Transportation 3. C.R. England 4. P.A.M. Transport Here are a couple of trucking companies that hire drivers fresh out of trucking school. 1. Werner 2. U.S.Xpress- You can go to the u.s.xpress website and search for trucking schools that they hire from if you want to work for them and need a job free out of a private school. Get trained and go to work for a few months. This is what I did and then I went to work for one of the best trucking companies in the trucking industry. Trucking school is only the first step on your way to a high paying truck driver job.
