What You Need to Know Before You Start Your CDL Training

The length of your training depends on what type of license you want to earn. A Class-B license may only require two to four weeks of school, while a Class-A license may take between four and eight weeks. Regardless of which class you choose, having all of your questions answered ahead of time, will help you make the best decision and reduce any regret you may have.

Some common questions to ask when trying to decide on which school to attend are things like: Do they offer financial assistance, what types of trucks will I be learning on, how many miles will I drive to get my license, is it all local driving or is there OTR (over the road) driving as well? You should also ask whether or not the school offers classes on specialized endorsements such as HazMat, double/triple trailer, and passenger. The more endorsements you hold, the more options you will have when you go to look for a job. They can also help you earn more money, as they are in higher demand.

Finally, talk to the school and ask them about what relationships they have with trucking companies in the area (or abroad). You’ll find it much easier to get a job if a school has relationships with companies because they tend to actively hire from a school because they know what types of drivers they are going to get as well as what type of training they have.
