Join Us On Facebook ..... - Choosing the Right CDL Driver Training School - The choice you make will determine the quality of education you receive and the amount of money you spend to get that education CDL Company Paid Training - or - Independent CDL Training School When we began Trucking Careers of America a little over 10 years ago, our business philosophy was then and continues to be to represent the best interests of otr truck drivers, both as career advisors and job placement specialists. Our mission from the first day was to help CDL Class A drivers become successful and not a statistic. It took time and a lot of hard work to weed through the good, the bad and the ugly but it's been a very worthwhile journey. With this in mind, over the years we have had the pleasure of developing an excellent relationship with many cdl training schools throughout the country; schools that operate their business in an honorable and professional manner and want to educate and train drivers for a successful career. We have displayed graphics of just a few of our approved schools on this page. Like 'bad trucking companies', there are 'bad cdl training schools' that in reality are businesses posing as training schools. CDL training is big business and making the wrong decision has caused many drivers to see their career come to an end before it even began. These schools are known for: charging an inflated tuition and/or high interest rate on financing accepting tuition from a student knowing that the student will not qualify to be hired by any company upon graduation promising quick training that is unrealistic and is not up to industry standards promising a quality education and delivering an education that is not up to industry standards promising job placement but cannot deliver TCA works closely with a number of accredited CDL training schools that are reputable, and highly regarded. Many accept WIA Grants and other types of federal or state grants. Classes are small so students receive more individual attention. Upon graduation, students are often referred to us for job placement. Because Trucking Careers and the schools work closely together, the schools have an excellent ratio of graduates and TCA has an excellent ratio of job placements. A listing of quality cdl training schools across the U.S. can be found in our Truck Driving School Guide. Further Reading .... Assessing The True Cost Of 'Free' CDL Training Post G.I. Bill and Fully Paid CDL Training ..... The Biggest Decision of Your Truck Driving Career Moultrie Technical College Here is a portion of a letter from several Trainco CDL Schools that is given to their students: "Trainco students, The gentleman cited above - James McCormack - is a longtime professional career counselor for truck drivers. We enjoy our alliance with this older gent, who works very hard to see that our enrollees understand the ins and outs of the industry. He is a straight shooter who does not hesitate to share the truth about the highs and lows of particular trucking companies. Jim's and Trainco's desire is to make sure YOU get in with just the right company and that you are pleased to be there for at least that first, and all-important, year of driving. More than likely, we will have you contact James right off the bat. You will find his direction and expertise useful in filling out applications and setting up interviews with companies we think best match your needs and background." Blackie Blackwell Erin Pixler Brittney Wolin Scott Decker ***************** After (3) weeks of training and graduation, you are eligible for hire. Attending a CDL training school has advantages over getting your CDL license through a company paid training program because of the following: There is no contract requirement with a hiring trucking company since you have graduated from an independent school. You are not restricted as to which trucking company you can go to work for. Once you are hired by a trucking company, the hiring company will pay up to $150 per month towards the cost of training through a tuition reimbursement agreement. . When we recommend one of these schools we are confident that you will receive excellent training and be well prepared for your career in the trucking industry.
