The Career Choice CDL training program is three weeks long. The first week is primarily classroom work, where you'll study for and obtain your CDL permit while learning the rules of the road. You will also receive training on map reading, trip planning, and logging. The second and third weeks are primarily hands on skills training that ends with you passing the CDL skills test. You will receive training on your pre-trip inspection, backing, shifting, and street driving with an emphasis on safety throughout.

Many of the trucking companies we work with offer CDL training tuition reimbursement. Over time, tuition reimbursement greatly reduces the amount of money that you will invest in your truck driver training. Ask your driver agent for more details.

No! You will be responsible for the cost of your CDL training, so you will not be required to sign an employment contact. Your driver agent will work with you regarding the different options for paying the training school tuition. Many of the carriers we work with offer tuition reimbursement so you can reduce the amount you pay over time.

As a first year driver, you can expect to make up to $40,000, depending on the company and what type of driving position you obtain. And you could make up to $50,000 your second year, and considerably more as you gain experience.

You will be required to take and pass both a DOT physical and drug screen while at school. The cost of both the physical and drug screen will be covered by your tuition.

You can expect to start your truck driving career in the irregular route, OTR (over-the-road) segment of the trucking industry. This means that you will be away from home for an average of two weeks at a time. As a 'rule of thumb', you can expect to receive one day at home for every week you are on the road. Once you have gained some experience, more truck driving opportunities become available. Even better, many drivers find that during their first year, other opportunities, like a regional or local type job, become available.

We take a lot of pride in providing a quality CDL training program, but we realize the training is really just a necessity to get you into a good truck driving job. Career Choice will not talk to you about 100 different job opportunities. We focus on placing our students with a few carriers that we believe provide a good mix of pay and benefits to new drivers, including tuition reimbursement.

Career Choice primarily works with inexperienced drivers and is currently unable to help recent truck driver training school graduates. If you have recently graduated from a truck driving school, you should contact the trucking companies directly.
