My husband is thinkig of becomming a driver. His job is down sizing and he will be out of a job. It is May now should he start school now or do they have cdl schooling in the fall and winter? He does not know if he should wait this out or not. Do you drivers work all year evn in the winter? Do you take your truck home when you do come home and how many likes their jobs.

Most CDL schools are open all year around. But I would suggest doing a lot of research before jumping right into it. You should keep in mind, that if it doesn't work out, you'll still have to pay for the school.

Yes, trucks move all year. Just like any job, I like it sometimes and sometimes I don't. Some companies will let you take the truck home on time off.

ALL People That Want To Drive Truck
First of All if you want to be a truck driver do alot of research before you jump in the seat . Second have you ever been in a truck. Third relize that truck driving is not a job but a career and life style! Fourth research schools and companies and find what you want and works for you. For some { OTR Over The Road } works for them but for some it wont. Like with me when I first started I went OTR that dont work for me so I work local driving a double/single bell dump. That is during the spring and summer months. Then when the snow beginsto fall I go OTR so i work OTR Part time. For me that works for me and my family. So really see what it is that you want to do and how you want to do it before getting signed with a company.

thanx and safe driving Whitewolf
