It’s no secret that the trucking industry is in need of new truck drivers to fill vacant employment positions. This is a unique profession and it takes a special person to be successful in this industry.
So, how do new drivers gain the required skills and knowledge needed to have a successful, long-term career? For many people, building a solid foundation for a new career means enrolling in a CDL training program like the ones offered at United States Truck Driving School.
Truck driving school will generally include a variety of instruction that is intended to prepare the driver for entry-level work in the transportation industry. It will provide basic certification to allow drivers to be qualified to drive on public roadways.
“Most first-time applicants come in expecting us to turn them into perfect drivers, ready for their own trucks at the end of the three-week course. Trainees need to know that we are training them to become entry-level drivers that will need additional training that they will receive once they arrive at the company of their choosing. It’s important to us, that new entrants understand that.” — Harold Trent, USTDS Denver Campus School Director
