There
Are Two Ways Student CDL Drivers
Can Get A Class A CDL License .....
 Deciding
upon the right cdl paid training program or a cdl
training school to get your training could well be the major factor in
whether or not you will have a successful truck driving career. The choice
you make will determine the quality of education you receive and the amount of
money you spend to get that education.
Trucking Careers of America works with a network
of trucking companies that offer a CDL paid training program and a network of
independent CDL truck driving schools,
many of which offer WIA grants (Workforce Investment Act) and other federal or
state grants. It's important to understand the basic differences between these
two types of training and how it affects you. CDL
Company Paid Training Program There
will always be a large turnover in the trucking industry....one reason is that
cdl training is big business and many trucking companies and training schools
are motivated primarily by financial gain. It's important to do your research
thoroughly, and avoid being attracted to the big name carriers or schools that
are so well known but not necessarily operating with good business practices. The
majority of trucking companies that are most well known for training (and accepting
recent CDL graduates) are what we call 'starter companies'. They are well-known
companies which have become known throughout the industry as the 'bad trucking
companies' because their practices include: - dispatching
poor miles and paying a low cents-per-mile rate
- cutting
your miles down so far until you have no choice but to quit
- forcing
a turnover of drivers in order to maintain a driver pool of cheap labor
- continually
turning over newly hired, lower pay drivers to receive Government subsidies
How
Do These Companies Keep Getting Away With This...The
answer is simple...this is how OTR trucking works and it will always be this way
- because the 'bad' trucking companies will never change their mode of operation.
The reason they will never change is because they do not want to change ! This
is how they operate and how they have their business model set up. They have no
concern if the driver quits because there are always drivers waiting in line,
looking for that next and better job.

what a trucking company requires when they are paying for your training:
