Trucking Careers of America
works with a network of independent CDL trucking driving schools
- and - a network of trucking companies. It's important to understand
the differences between the two types of training and how it affects
you.

We

Option
(1)
Attend a Certified CDL Truck Driving School
Often The Preferred Option
TCA works closely with
a number of independent CDL training schools that are accredited,
reputable, and highly regarded - and offer financing.
We send student applicants to these schools confident that you
will receive excellent training and be well prepared for your
career in the trucking industry.
Classes are smaller which means that
each student is able to receive more individual attention. Upon
graduation, students are often referred to us by these schools
for job placement. Because Trucking Careers and the schools
work closely together, the schools have an excellent ratio of
graduates and TCA has an excellent ratio of job placements.
Other independent CDL driving schools
can range from $4,000 up to $8,000 - and sometimes even more.
Most independent CDL truck driving schools do not offer financing.
Your decision of which cdl training school to attend is an important
decision, not only because of inflated cost, but also because
many schools are not certified, the training is unsatisfactory,
and there are no job placement services.
The average cost with the schools
in our network is between $5,000 and $6,000. They do offer financing,
the training is excellent and through their association with
TCA, job placement services are available.
-
After (3) weeks of training and
subsequent graduation, you are eligible for hire.
-
There is no contract requirement
with a hiring trucking company since you have graduated
from a certified independent school.
-
You are not restricted
as to which trucking company you will go to work for.
-
The hiring trucking company will
pay up to $150 per month towards the cost of training through
a tuiton reimbursement agreement.
Option
(2)
Attend a CDL Company Paid Training Program
TCA works with companies
that offer a paid CDL training program - or - a company sponsored
CDL training program, which means that you are hired by a trucking
company and trained by that trucking company. Upon completion
of your training, you go on the payroll. However, it's important
to be aware of what a trucking company requires when they are
paying for your training:
- Typically, you are required to sign
an employment contract for at least one year with the company
that has provided the CDL training.
- You are responsibile to pay back the
training and related expenses, which can be accelerated particularly
if you do not fulfill your employment contract for whatever reason.
- In addition, company sponsored type
programs have a high number of students in ratio to the instructors.
Generally, a large percentage of students per class will not complete
training.
