Many people looking to start their career as a truck driver want to know how long training takes before they can enter the field. Students want to start their new career and start earning a paycheck, but there are many requirements and hours of training that must be completed before hitting the road.
When looking to start a career in trucking, one thing is certain: you’ll need a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). There are two common options to getting your CDL: enrolling in a CDL school (like United States Truck Driving School) or enrolling in a trucking company training program.
Eating healthy as a truck driver is not always easy. When most of your meals are at restaurants, finding healthy choices that you actually want to eat may seem impossible.
Congratulations! You’ve decided to get started on a new career in the trucking industry. We know you’re anxious to get started, and probably have a lot of questions. Let’s explore the different training programs to find out how long will truck driver training takes?
The thought of having to pay for school is a hurdle for many students. When you explore all the options available, you’ll see that financial aid, tuition financing, and personal loans offer excellent opportunities for you to attend trucking school and start your career.
When you’re in a hurry to get into a future career, the time and energy required to go through a CDL course may seem stressful. If you’re on the fence about whether or not trucking school could benefit you, you might be asking yourself “Is trucking school really worth it? Can’t I do this a different way?”
When most people imagine a truck driver, they imagine a burly man with a trucker hat and maybe a flannel shirt. This is not surprising since the trucking industry has traditionally been male-dominated. However, more and more women are starting to become truck drivers.
We talk to a lot of people who want to get their CDL. One question we often get asked is, “Will I have a job when I get done with school?” In this blog, we’ll look at the career options you have when you attend US Truck Driving School for your CDL training.
If you’ve spent time behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle, you know about the driving logbook. Driving hours rules may have changed some over the years, but the logbook has been the principal source of keeping track of those hours. Since drivers were responsible for logging their own hours with fleet managers checking said logbooks, there was some concern over fudging the books.
When most people think of trucking jobs, they think of long cross-country hauls with very little home time. The truth is, there are more options than just long-haul trucking. While most drivers start out going OTR (Over the Road) some transition into a different position, like driving short-haul routes or even becoming a driver trainer.
