Choosing a Driver Training School

 What to look for when choosing a driver training school:

• How long has the school been in operation 

• Instructor experience and qualifications. 

• Type of equipment used in training. 

• Does the school offer courses certified by the Federal Government?  

• Is the school’s main focus preparing the student for entry into the trucking industry, or are they only intent on getting the student ready to pass the road test

• What is the length of the program or programs and how do the training hours breakout?

• What is the course content of the programs?

• What are class sizes?

• How many students are in the truck?

• What are the chances of acquiring a driving job after the course is complete, and, what are the chances of remaining within the industry a year later?

• Does the school have solid relationships with local carriers that have hired its graduates in the past?
