Are all CDL schools going to look out for your best interest, have a sincere desire to help you achieve your goals, and even assist with job placement?
Not always, but this is exactly the type of CDL school you want to attend.
When you’re looking for the right place to complete your CDL training, it’s important to remember that not all CDL schools are created equal, and there are a few things you really need to take into consideration.
Choose the Right CDL Training Program By Looking Closely at These 3 Factors:
1. The Courses.
Everyone is different and so are their needs when it comes to CDL Training. Some can take four weeks away from work to earn their CDL while for others, this just isn’t an option.
Find a school that offers more than one course so that you can pick the right one to fit your needs. Some institutes like CDL of AL offer a full 4-week course as well as a one-week fast-track “worker’s course” so you can truly pick what’s right for you at the time.
2. The Equipment.
If you test on the wrong equipment, you’re going to, by law, be restricted and your opportunities are going to be limited in your career. This can be extremely frustrating if you don’t know this in the very beginning.
Trust us, you’ll want to test in equipment that has:
* A manual transmission
* Air Brakes
Remember, if you don’t test in equipment that utilizes these features, you’ll be restricted from using them throughout your career.
3. The Instructors.
You want to train under instructors that have several years of experience and a passion to help you be successful. If your instructors don’t care or aren’t knowledgeable, you’re not going to get the training you need and deserve.
If you wish, the school should give you a chance to meet the instructors face-to-face before signing up for the course. We highly recommend going to meet them in person if possible, but if that’s no possible, ask if you can talk to them over the phone. This is a great time to see if this is someone you want to learn under. If they don’t allow this, you may want to think twice.
