Other Starting Out in Trucking Looking for CDL-A Training Advice

I’ve been working odd jobs for a while, but I’m ready to start a career with more stability and room to grow. Truck driving seems like a solid option, and I know the first step is getting my CDL-A license.

I’ve been looking at a few different training programs and schools, but it’s a lot to sort through some are tuition-free, some are private, and the schedules and curriculums vary a lot.

For those of you who’ve gone through CDL-A training, what was your experience like? Any schools or programs you’d recommend? And for someone totally new to trucking, what should I focus on to get certified efficiently and be job-ready?

You should really ask this question to a different sub, one that is about CDL drivers. This is about sub for safety professionals

Check your local community or technical college as they probably have some government funded scholarships to cover cost.
