What to Expect • CDL training programs will
first begin in the classroom. After the necessary paperwork is completed, you can spend up to a week in a classroom learning the basics.
• Once you leave the classroom, you are taught how to drive the truck, learning how to shift, back-up, etc.
• Many companies will have their students then drive with a trainer for a certain amount of time, or for a number of miles, to ensure that the student is comfortable enough driving the truck.

trucking company, you will now be a driver with that company
• If you attended a school for your CDL, depending on whether or not they have a partner trucking company, you will be looking for a driving job, or be offered a job with their partner company
• Either way, you have just gained a new skill that will give you new career opportunities
