When I decided to go back on the road there weren't many options
for getting recertified without up front costs. Driver
Solutions cured that pain in my side. When I discovered that
I could go back and get training to get me back on the road and a
job with one of the best carriers out there, I was skeptical to say
the least. But after talking to David with Driver Solutions and
getting set up with a truck driving school in Arkansas, I realized
that it was true.
Training was awesome. Everything...

truck driving are under the impression that it's too late to start
training for a CDL later in life or that they’re too old to explore
new career options. Well, I’m here to tell you that this is simply
not true – there is no age limit to a truck driving job or the
CDL training that accompanies it.

Matthew's CDL Training Story
Late last year I made a goal to get my Class A CDL before I turn
25 in May. I had always took an active interest in bus driving and
truck driving, every since I could remember. When I was younger
people would ask me what I wanted to do when I grow up, and I
simply replied, "A bus driver". I researched various training
schools on and off for the last two or three years and I came
across Driver Solutions, I figured since this was a school close to
home that this would...

Focus
Becoming a truck driver takes a lot of focus. During
truck driving
school, you must focus on developing the skills you
need to successfully get a CDL license. In order to do this
in just 3-4 weeks, all distractions must be removed. You can
do this by getting all other areas of your life in order.
Make sure your family life is in a good state, you've budgeted for
training and most importantly that you're truly ready to make the
commitment to make a career change.
And once you've...

I started truck driving school in order to move into a new career
field. I had actually wanted to drive for a long time and always
talked myself out of it. This time I went through with it and
completed the challenge of attending the truck driving school in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
The course curriculum is intense and demanding, but very thorough
and rewarding. When you finally test out and go to State to take
the actual CDL skills exam that will give you a CDL Class A, it all
pays off.
I am...
