Cdl Training School
Topic 15535 | Page 1
Phillip, you're going to have a bit of a tough time landing a job with a recent suspension like that, especially considering it was suspended for a number of years. When you ask which schools will accept you, if you're referring to Paid CDL Training Programs, schools that are owned and operated by trucking companies, it's worth applying to all of them and see what they say.
If you're referring to a Private Truck Driving School, any of them will likely accept you if you have the tuition money but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll find the job you want after graduating.
Do you know what type of school you're looking for?
If you haven't already, make sure you go through our Truck Driver's Career Guide where we have a ton of information (like 72 pages worth) on what it takes to get your career off to a great start.
CDL:

- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I dunno what happened to my comment but Express truck Driving Jobs are good, I think they helped out my friend who had a similar cicurmstance. But like Brett said it doesn't hurt to apply all around, I just know they sponsor students and people like that. Good reputation from what my friend says.

EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
