| I have received multiple emails asking the question | | | | feel like it if you pay for your CDL training out of your |
| "What is the best truck driving school?" or "Where do | | | | own pocket. You can judge the quality of a truck |
| you recommend I get truck driver training?" Should you | | | | driving school by the job placement they provide. |
| pay out of pocket or sign a contract with a trucking | | | | If several large trucking companies recruit from a |
| company school for free truck driver training? | | | | particular truck driving school graduate pool, that |
| I don't know anyone who can claim to be an expert on | | | | particular trucking school probably trains students well |
| truck driving schools or the best method to pay for | | | | or the big trucking companies would not want to use |
| your truck driving school! The fact is most people have | | | | that truck driving school has a hiring pool. Company |
| only gone to one trucking school and if for some | | | | trucking schools will usually train you well because you |
| reason they have gone to more than one I would stay | | | | will be working for them and driving their trucks! Make |
| clear of them! | | | | sense? |
| The choice of a trucking company school or a private | | | | After you have been driving for a while you will realize |
| truck driving school is a personal one and depends on | | | | that most of your learning is on the road and the truck |
| your unique situation. Location, money, time etc. The | | | | driving school served no other purpose than just |
| only comment I really have on paying for a truck | | | | getting your CDL, learning the basics, and job |
| driving school would be if you can pay on your own go | | | | placement. |
| ahead. | | | | I personally went through the Schneider training |
| If you are paying out of pocket make sure that the | | | | academy when I started driving and I can say it was a |
| school has job placement with a decent trucking | | | | good school and that they probably over train their |
| company! Some trucking companies will reimburse you | | | | students. Schneider is known for having one of the |
| all or part of your tuition depending on how long you | | | | best truck driving schools in the trucking industry but I |
| drive a truck for them. You will have no commitment | | | | have nothing to compare the experience with. I only |
| to any trucking company and can move on when you | | | | went through truck driving school one time myself. |
