Back up camera on school trucks?

Look to see what companies you are interested in accept.

Most college programs will be the 160hr or similar & more widely accepted. May even find grants to help.

Should do very much due diligence on any private. Some are good, many not so much.

Yes, you will learn rudimentary aspect of driving. But, very limited & only geared to you basically passing test.

Benifit of getting licensed before getting hired is good chance of avoiding that year or so obligation to company for their own school.

Most common thought is get 1yr in, then opportunities will open. Typically this is true. But, I have had students in the past that have found lucrative gigs at 6mos.
