Parents & FamilyCommercial Driver’s License Training Program
Embark on a new career in commercial truck driving! America is in the midst of a commercial driver shortage—estimates indicate that the country is short more than 60,000 drivers, which means carriers are eager to hire. Now’s your chance to begin a new career in an in-demand field in about four weeks.
Your journey begins in the classroom, where you’ll [1] learn about the vehicles, basic truck driving controls, pre-trip inspection, cargo handling, emergency protocols and more. Then on the driving range, you’ll practice skills like pre-trip inspection, backing maneuvers, and crucial safety measures to protect yourself and the drivers around you. Finally, you’ll take your newly acquired skills on the road with our experienced instructors by your side. Upon graduation, you’ll receive a certificate of completion and have all that you need to obtain your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and land an entry-level position in commercial trucking.
Pass the Test and Obtain a Job
The material presented in this Class A CDL program is designed to prepare you to take and pass the Commercial Driver’s License test in your state of residence. With your CDL, you’ll be qualified to apply for entry-level jobs as a tractor trailer driver with a quality carrier. We partner with many companies that have in-house training departments that provide additional training to entry-level drivers. Local employment opportunities also exist for graduates who are capable and ready.
Job Outlook
These skills are in great demand in today’s workplace resulting in high employer demand and a great career outlook! Trucking is the backbone of our economy, with more than 70% all domestic freight moving by truck. Last year alone trucks moved over 11 billion tons of freight—and moving that much freight requires a lot of drivers.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that commercial driving is expected to grow 11 percent nationally through 2032. In the Philadelphia area alone there are more than a thousand[1] job openings for entry-level, CDL-A drivers, and the current estimated starting salary is well above $65,000[2].
