Learn how to operate tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles. A Class A CDL allows you to drive a variety of vehicles, making you eligible for over-the-road, regional, and local driving jobs with top carriers.
A Class B CDL allows you to operate commercial vehicles that do not require a trailer attachment, such as box trucks, delivery trucks, dump trucks, and passenger buses. This is an excellent option for individuals.

As a truck driver, you can earn a median annual wage of $57,440*, with great potential for more as you gain experience with your CDL. Because qualified drivers are in such high demand, companies compete to offer the best pay and benefits. This sometimes includes starting bonuses or tuition reimbursement, depending on the motor carrier you choose to work with. There are not many other careers where you can receive this kind of pay potential after only a few weeks of training!
Semi-trucks haul over 70% of freight in the United States and are absolutely essential to our nation's economy. Due to a growing truck driver shortage, there is a high demand for qualified individuals in the trucking industry. This translates into excellent job security. As you gain more experience as a driver, you become even more valuable to motor carriers and can continue to enjoy a stable career.
After you earn your CDL, you can choose the type of job that best suits your lifestyle. Over-the-road (OTR), regional, and local routes provide different benefits. In addition to choosing the length of time you want to spend on the road, you can choose to work alone or with a partner. You can also choose what type of cargo you would like to haul. There are also careers outside of the trucking industry for CDL holders such as teaching at a truck driving school, working as a dispatcher, highway maintenance, and more.
The freedom of the open road is one reason that truck driving can be appealing. Many people see only a small portion of our country. If you choose to become an OTR truck driver, you can travel across the nation and drive through unique and scenic areas. Besides the scenery you can enjoy from the road, you may be able to take time off in different parts of the country depending on which company you work for.
