The Driver Solutions staff loves reading your stories about
truck driving school. Everyone has different experiences and
reasons for pursuing a new career in truck driving, and it's always
interesting to see what people have to say about our program. Here
are three success stories sent to us by students just like
you...
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.
We share a lot of our blog content with new
CDL students and even experienced truck drivers via our Driver Solutions Facebook
page. We also ask our Facebook fans tell us about their
experiences in the trucking industry so we can deliver the best
free information available on
CDL training, truck driving jobs and the trucking
lifestyle.
In doing so, we encourage our fans to share some of their
favorite posts on Facebook if they find the information
helpful. Below are 5 posts packed full...
Truck driver training is about more than just earning your CDL.
It's about meeting people and bettering yourself. We asked fans of
the Driver Solutions Facebook page what their
favorite parts of truck driver training were. Here are some of
their responses.
Creating Lasting Friendships
It's no secret that the main reason you're at truck driving
school is to learn, but that doesn't mean that you can't form
friendships in the process! Dex Jones says his favorite part of
CDL training was meeting all...
Many
middle-aged employees who are interested in pursuing a career in
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.
No matter your age or where you may be at in life, there's
always time for you to begin CDL training with Driver Solutions. After...
As you can probably imagine, being confined to a small space as
a truck driver can make staying healthy on the road pretty
difficult. It's easy to frequent the McDonald's drive through when
you're hungry, but in the long run, are all those unhealthy
fast-food meals really worth it? Convenience can sometimes outweigh
being healthy, especially in this profession. So how do you become
a healthy truck driver when you're living life day-to-day within
the confines of a cramped truck cab? We asked fans...
Driver Solutions students will be qualified for
a position prior to completion of their truck driver
training.
With Driver Solutions, you’ll know if you’re qualified for a job
opportunity with a reputable trucking company before you even begin
the training program. Once you submit an online application to
Driver Solutions, we’ll work to see if you are qualified to attend
the training program.
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...
You know what we mean - wake up, get ready for work, drive the same
route each day, do the same job (such as operating a
forklift) over and over with seemingly no signs of progress or
change.
Steven was in a similar spot before he decided to go after a
truck driver job. In fact,
Steven went to another truck driving school prior to finding Driver
Solutions. He soon found out that a school with credit checks
and loans was not the best option for him....Read More » »
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.
