What to look for in a truck driving school

Sadly, not all truck driving schools provide a high level of quality. These are a few factors that separate the good truck driving schools from the bad ones.

Quality of the program

Look for trucking schools that have a good teacher to student ratio. A program may cut corners and save money by packing students into a class with one teacher. You want to have a teacher accessible when you have a question and a teacher there to correct you when you make a critical mistake that you won’t want to repeat.

Good trucking schools will also have instructors that are eager to teach and willing to spend the time necessary to make sure that you graduate their school with all of the knowledge that you’ll need to get started in your trucking career.

Read as many online reviews about the trucking school as possible and be sure to address any concerns about the quality of the school while meeting with their staff. Keep in mind that every CDL school will have a few dissatisfied students, but if there is a re-occurring theme about the quality of the trucks (for example) then that is worth looking into.

Driving Time

You’ll want to choose a CDL school that offers a generous amount of driving time. This is time spent behind the wheel operating a tractor trailer and learning the dos and don’s of controlling the vehicle.

Driving time is the fastest way in which you will learn how to operate a Class A CDL truck, but it is also time intensive and expensive for truck driving schools to have their students spend a considerable amount of time operating their trucks. That’s why they try to make the most out of your driving time experience by mixing in classroom style learning, driving simulators, and practice tests.

Non-driving time learning may help you pass your upcoming CDL test, but they can only do so much to help you prepare for actually operating an 18 wheeler truck.

Job Placement

You’re attending trucking school to find a job, right? So why not pick a trucking school that can help you find a great long-term job. While you’re talking with potential schools, you may find that many of them showcase their job placement rates and how well their students do after graduating. Pay attention to these figures, and ask follow up questions like which employers do your students often work for, and do you have close relationships with any specific employers?

Well established trucking schools will have deep connections with the HR departments of Tennessee’s largest trucking companies, along with large nationwide companies. Be sure to leverage job placement wherever you choose to attend.
