1. Choosing the Right
Truck Driving School

2. So You Want to be
A Truck Driver
There is a high demand for experienced and
trained drivers for truck driving jobs
throughout the country.
However, before you start training, there
are some things you need to know about
selecting the right truck driving schools.
Check out these tips for choosing the right
school and learn why choosing the best
schools can increase your chances of
finding work.

3. Private vs. Company
Sponsored
There are two different types
of truck driving schools you
can choose from: private, or
company sponsored.
Company sponsored schools
often require little to no money
upfront and tuition payments can
sometimes be taken directly out
of your check once you’re hired.
Private schools often require
tuition up front, but can still
provide high quality training and
can help with job placement.

4. What You Need to
Know Before Applying
Before applying to a school in order to get a
truck driving job, make sure you check out a
few different schools and see what they have
to offer.
Ask about tuition, driving time, and what job
opportunities the training will enable you to
apply for.
An important question to ask is “how much
driving time will I actually have?”

5. What Separates Good
Schools From the Mediocre
Good schools will typically offer
three things:
• Job Placement
• Quality Instructors
• Quality Training
You can know a school offers
these things by visiting them
and asking questions.

6. What Separates Good
Schools From the Mediocre Cont’d
Quality schools should have several different
driving yards, but also have enough instructors
to properly monitor all of them.
Don’t assume a school will automatically help
with job placement. Ask what services they have
and what options are available after graduation.
Lastly, a quality school will have instructors who
are knowledgeable about the industry and
provide superior information and employ
effective teaching strategies.

7. How Is a Recruiter
Useful to You?
Recruiters are people who try to
get you to join their schools.
They can be useful, but they’re
also salespeople.
If you ask the right questions, a
recruiter can help you figure out if a
school is right for you.
If they don’t answer your prepared
questions or don’t seem to know
much about the school or how it
operates, they’re probably just
looking to make a commission.

8. Good Luck!
There are a lot of truck driving
schools out there, so choose wisely,
and above all, good luck on your
new career!
