Employment Driver

Earning a Commercial Driver's License, or CDL, qualifies you to drive long-haul semi trucks and smaller local delivery vehicles as well. Long-haul and local truck drivers can make great money with as little as three weeks of training and the passing of the license exam, so for unemployed workers looking for a new specialty, attending truck driving school can be appealing. If you're looking for free CDL training, continue reading to learn how truck driving companies create schools and provide paid CDL training in a variety of ways.

Free CDL Training

First of all, why would any company provide free CDL classes? For the same reason nursing homes train assistants for free, or real estate agencies pay for agents to earn a license: employment. Truck driving companies need good, reliable employees for truck driving jobs. By offering paid CDL training for qualified applicants, the companies can control the quality of drivers and improve the company's earnings and safety record.

Most free CDL training programs have some basic requirements:

  • age 21 or older
  • clean driving record
  • able to pass a drug test
  • 20/20 vision or corrected vision (glasses or contacts)
  • a clean bill of health (no major conditions that could be unsafe while driving)

In addition, for truck driving jobs with CDL training schools, applicants need to be legally permitted to work in the United States. This means that you must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent legal resident.
