The industry needs massive consolidation. The 5 biggest companies combined barely account for 10% of freight volume, IIRC. In many other industries the top 5 account for 75-90% of the industry volume. Either hundreds of companies need to find a LEGAL way to cooperate and coordinate or customers and govt will keep dictating to trucking companies how things are going to be with no resistance. Ditto for drivers. As long as you can create another truck driver in 3 weeks or a trucking company in 90 days there will always be no negotiating power for anyone but customers.

Two issues here:
As a business owner trying to skirt rules and regs is a colossally bad idea.
However, regarding the need for school to get a CDL. If the purpose is to have better informed drivers, just make the CDL exam tougher. If the purpose is safer drivers, school won’t help a bad driver one bit. And lack of school won’t change a good driver one bit. One is a good safe driver, or a dangerous driver and not much will change that.analoglogistics Thanks this. -
The best thing for you to do is pay for training, you can study for the Cdl questions on truckers app for Cdl permit.

J.J. Keller has online courses, training manuals and can help with curriculum. Since the OP has a need to train drivers, this is the way for him to go. This is no different than Swift setting up their school to train their own drivers. The whole TPR is set up for people in his EXACT situation, as you can limit your registration to just training your own drivers if you don't want to be listed on the Registry for people to call you.
People just need to read the information provided about ELDT and the stuff on the TPR website.tscottme Thanks this.
