Should I get my CDL on my own or with a company training school ?.

You will make more money driving City Busses then you ever will at any training company.

 

Actually this question gets asked quite frequently it really comes down to what you want, if you sign on with a trucking company your bound by there rules until you pay them back however at least you've got a "secure job' paying your own way you will be your own boss and will have a choice as to who you will work for either way if your new you will be required to go out with a trainer for a week or 2 then you'll be on your own.

I went to an independent School through the WIOA program and am so happy that I did it that way instead of going through a companies School. Just some of the reasons..

1: Don't have to sign a contract with a company that can last up to a year if you get schooling on your own.
2: You can be selective in choosing a company to work for.
3: Most companies from my very limited experience in researching will have new grads only drive OTR.
4: Schools will work around your schedule

There are also grants like WIOA that pay for the schooling to earn a CDL-A if you qualify. So there are allot of options out there for you. Good luck
