Need Answers To A Question I Pondered
Topic 3459 | Page 1
Hey Richard. All of the Company-Sponsored Training Programs are designed to take people straight off the street without any prior knowledge of trucking and help them get their permit, endorsements, and ultimately CDL license. In fact, all Private Truck Driving Schools do the same thing.
I see you started the High Road Training Program the other day but haven't continued with it. Our program is absolutely the best CDL test preparation program on the planet (it really is!). If you'll work through our course you'll fly through your CDL permit and endorsement exams like they're nothing. Trust me.....you're going to want to have that knowledge already before you attend a truck driving school of any sort. You'll learn the materials a lot more thoroughly and you'll retain the materials better using our program.
What is it that you're considering doing? What prompted you to ask that question?
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- 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.
Company-sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
Well mr. Brett , to sum it up, I want a better life and a career that can do that . I see trucking as that answer and that what I want to do in my life . the study materials here is awesome and mr. Brett I am going to keep studying till I feel confident that I will pass the test for my cdl permit and look for trucking companies that will train me to get my cdl and a new career . Reason for asking this question is because I was wondering who ( trucking companies) will just take me if only I had my respectively state driver licence ..
Brett thank u and I appreciate all your advice and guidance, cuz I feel like I'm alone in this process..
