Tips for choosing a New York truck driving school
Unfortunately, not all CDL schools are the same, which is why it’s important to thoroughly research each company and reach out to three or more schools. While talking with the schools and researching their programs, there are a few things that you should be looking for.
CDL school cost
The cost of truck driving schools in New York will range anywhere from $2,000 – $10,000. This is because programs offer different levels of training, one-on-one time, and accommodations. Many pay for food and lodging if you are visiting from out of town, while others offer newer tractor trailers and equipment than other schools. When evaluating different CDL schools by cost, it’s important to remember that you may not always be comparing apples to apples.
Offers plenty of classroom and driving time
As you may know, you’ll need to pass both a road test and a written test in order to obtain your Class A CDL license. Truck driving schools structure their programs to give you the best chance of passing both of these exams so you can get licensed and start making money as soon as possible.
A few driving techniques that they will teach you, which will prove extremely helpful while on the job:
- Basic backing maneuvers
- 45 degree backing
- Downshifting
- Double clutching
- Parallel parking
- Right hand turns
- Stopping on an incline
- Rules and regulations in New York
You can find a list of truck driving schools in New York along with a map for locating each of these schools. Try to find online reviews for schools that you are considering. If you find a good school that too far of a commute, see if they assist with temporary accommodations and/or food.
