Get a cdl WITHOUT cdl school OR company sponsored training! 2023

[@emogin9684]

Thanks Helpful Trucker. More information we were uninformed about. We appreciate your efforts in giving us valuable content.

[@parler8698]

These types of interviews are HELPFUL.

[@ihoromelianenko3368]

Thank you! It's exactly the information I had been searching for! Because there isn't anything said about "CDL School" in the Regulation but only said about "CDL Theory and BTW training" plus that the training must be provided by a certificated trainer. It's All! NO CDL SCHOOL AT ALL! I've already passed my CDL Theory on-line course which is registered by FMCSA. I've got my CPL too. All that costed me $100 in total. Plus medical exam $75. Then I sent a request to DMS for further explanation because I FELT that CDL Schools lie that all students need their sevice. So that schools only want to earn. So it's a GOOD way to save money!

[@1josephalston]

I found this to be the most helpful video. Your comment as well. How long did it take you to get your cdlp doing it online?

[@osvaldocanto9210]

👋 can you describe what was the result of this? You had to end up going to cdl school 😮😅 or you still don't have your cdl?

[@WindsongSoundBath]

Can you please list the required steps for this? I have my CDL permit from Pennsylvania and ready to get the CDL A next. Would much rather do it this way if possible. Thank you.

[@soldierforgod1477]

I’ve decided to get my CDL and I came across your channel, I will definitely go through your channel for information

[@bighurkobs94]

Definitely watched your video yesterday ordered the eldt package for 50$ I already have my cdl b permit and air brakes I started doing the package lastnite finished this morning passed with flying colors…..yes it’s a long package but very easy and too the point…..remind you guys this is the eldt theory part after you do this you have to take the btw/ behind the wheel part and you are officially certified easy….thanks guys..psa truth be told if this video go viral this will help a lot of ppl save money by taking these proper steps yourself

[@AlexMorton-cc1pk]

which way did you get your b permit

[@254Eduardo]

This is exactly the content im looking for. Want to find the best option for me, not the schools bank account

[@ambrosiaaiken1845]

Your state DOT(transportation maintenance department has the elearning academy for the bookwork. It is 100% free, once you complete the modules and take the test elearning test its posted in approx 48 hours onto the FMCSA. Then get your permit. then find a BTW trainer ,train and test out. Overall cost if all out of pocket will be $2500 or less, much less if you use your state WOIWA funds, through your county Job and Family Services. At worst if the government pays your course, then you will be just about guaranteed to pass your cdl, and have your theory training already on the books.

[@MJFUYT]

Packed with high-quality knowledge. Thx for sharing.

[@JulieJensen-t2h]

Yes this is true. The trainer has to be certified to train you. My probation officer wouldn’t let me do it that way I had to go through school. I have my Class A CDL now but I have knowledge of going to school and the process of not going through school.

[@The_PaleHorseman]

What I think is BS is, I drove for 8 years in the army, on US roadways, and was trained by the federal government/ army, but when I got out, don’t have anything. I think it’s silly.

[@JourneysADRIFT]

Many cdl schools offer credits for soldiers with a trucking mos and many other benifits.

[@saltysaty8686]

In FL you can get the Elite FMCSA course for 250 and you get a cert provided to the state. Then you can find a cdl road test location. I found some for $250 for just the road test. If you got experience you should be able to get your CDL for about $500. Check your area and see if it's the same. This whole CDL is a pain if I'm trying to work during the day.

[@AnomalyArcana]

That is bogus.

[@austin2187]

Can we talk more about being a provider? I’m currently pending (just want to get my son in trucking world without school) So as a driver myself I can essentially “sign off” saying he can drive and he can get his class A?

[@danstafford5977]

School bus drivers are in such high demand you can get a paid for CDL training in some areas.

[@27Zangle]

Yeah, the pay in some areas is fantastic but hard to get more than 20 hours a week unless you're willing to have a wonky schedule doing field trips, etc. The next issue is the kids and how bad they are. As a parent who has been dealing with bullies on the bus and having heard the stories from my kids on how the other kids treat the driver, I wouldn't ever drive a school bus. There is a reason for such a shortage. Now should the pay jump to $40 an hour or more, and someone could easily live off the low hours that most drivers experiance, then I might think about it. Also sucks to have a split shift every day.

[@TheGbass87]

I have my CDL permit class B but I’m stuck school is too expensive

[@AlexMorton-cc1pk]

which way did you got your B permit

[@ONEFAITHofJESUS]

You can train with a school to become a school bus driver?

[@EST-kg4cs]

So how do they apply to become a training provider for you and would it cost them anything

[@ninonicebx]

Great information as always my friend. Thank you.

[@Ianzo]

That Shouldn't Be An Issue(The ELDT)I Got Mine!

[@creditexecssports]

Bro I have already gone through training at Millis but I need help taking the pre-trip and road test. What should I do?

[@ninonicebx]

Nobody falls asleep learning important information.

[@EstherzCrown]

Let me introduce myself lol😂

[@eliteeldt]

Appreciate that!

[@Flock13]

Yea okay have you watch or been at a six hour lecture

[@ThethomasJefferson]

The issue I am having is that I had my CDL-A I let it go and now I’m trying to get it back, and Texas DPS office said I just have to take the written and driving test again. In order to take a driving test I would need a truck which is hard to get without having a lot of money, about the same as it cost for school.

[@Travelinplaces]

I'm in the same situation. Hard to think of any other profession where you loose all your credentials and start all over from scratch. Did my training back in 94 and drove t t railers for two decades.

[@ThethomasJefferson]

@@Travelinplaces yeah, I ended up going to truck driving school. I am halfway through it now.

[@Travelinplaces]

@@ThethomasJefferson good luck with your CDL. Perhaps you could help me with some information in how much it was and what should I do

[@ThethomasJefferson]

@@Travelinplaces Road Master is $7,400. I am doing it in San Antonio Texas as it is the closest one to where I live, they have changed a lot for the PTI and maneuvers, I would get the CDL manual and start studying the inspection information. In the Texas CDL manual they have everything you need for the PTI listed in the area that says inspection/inspect: they will start with bullet points. ( • )

[@Rizzlyricist]

You're the man 🔥🫡

[@hylontaylor2402]

This is The One my boy, don't have time to School....

[@jakegaming7252]

My dream job is a truck driver, Is it possible i can bscome a truck driver right after high school? (After i guaduate high school) right now 2023 im in the 8th gade

[@ldpressuh1903]

Can’t wait to see ur vids too

[@MovingMountainsJunkRemoval]

Yes

[@woodystreeservicePNW]

I'm very curious 🤔 because ive drove log trucks since I was 15 in the woods but ive never had my cdl? Can I go take the test without going to school?

[@TheHelpfulTrucker]

nope... you have to get training from a certified training provider

[@BigBenny24]

Go to cdl school, meet Class A students, get their contact information or add them on social media, make a team and be millionaires in less than 5 years

[@WindsongSoundBath]

A team doing what exactly?

[@rickb06]

​@@WindsongSoundBathare you SERIOUS bruh?!... We're OBVIOUSLY talking about a mariachi band mixed fusion ocapella synergy band.

[@WindsongSoundBath]

​@@rickb06 Does the band do 11 hour marathon shows in stilts?

[@JasonLeslieTaylor]

As a CDL examiner and trainer I can tell you that the average experienced truck driver has no idea how to teach nor what to teach a prospective CDL applicant.

[@TheLittleHelpfulTrucker]

You're a cdl examiner?

[@creditexecssports]

Need training. Can you help?

[@hoodbarbie44]

The left and btw training have to be the same provider …I’m in texas

[@omarespinoza6625]

Can you do that in any state ? I live in illinois

[@ldpressuh1903]

Me too !

[@amybailey7774]

Wow so is there someone here in GA willing to train me

[@danstafford5977]

Having a CDL you still need training to become a solo driver... also you need 2 years Driving Experience... before 90% of the carriers will hire you.

[@FRANCHYZE2K]

So help me out with a question I have, I'm already driving non cdl straight trucks, want to get my class B, if I get ELDT Certification, how would I then do the driver portion or road test in order to complete my ELDT"?

[@ONEFAITHofJESUS]

School bus training?

[@anthonyjones1758]

What if I own my truck and I’m trying to get my CDL,can my brother in law who has 20 years of experience as a driver train me?

[@TheHelpfulTrucker]

what Chad was saying in this video is anyone that meets the criteria (and it's not as much as you may think) can get on the training provider registry and become a certified trainer... if your brother was willing to do that then yes he could.

[@TheHelpfulTrucker]

what Chad was saying in this video as ANYONE that meets the criteria (and its not a difficult as you might think) can become a "certified training provider" and get on the provider registry... if he was willing to do that THEN he could officially train you and the DMV would recognize it.

[@DON44fr]

Wow tot didn’t know and I know plenty off family and friends on the road

[@Florida0003]

So how does the instructor upload the skills n road results so i can be ready to get my real cdl?

[@TheHelpfulTrucker]

sorry, im not sure how that part works

[@maimunoz8664]

Can you make a video about regenerating to be a btw training provider? Please.

[@dianabarraza4225]

I want to get started in getting my class A license but I'm not entirely sure where to start and who to go to

[@HankBukowski]

Same here. Have you gotten any further making a decision?

We do not need any more under-qualified truckers on the road... truck driving is not a amusement park Thrill Ride.

Man shut up.. you’re probably one of them..

[@kerikane9671]

Not completely true school bus needs a licensed instructor

[@williesparkmon4963]

Don't believe you. If you have a accident, the school or the person cound be held responsible. Schools has insurance, individual individual Don't .

[@maimunoz8664]

Party pooper

[@jl909-nr5vx]

No one is going to get "certified" to teach you to drive...video is VERY MISLEADING!!!! Very shifty video. Too many of these edlt people pitching a "theory course to make $$$. Forget the separate theory garbage course ....just have to go to school these days.

[@TheHelpfulTrucker]

Appreciate the comment... but you're TOTALLY unqualified to say what "no one" is going to do boss! it's past arrogant to think you know EVERYONE'S situation.

[@jl909-nr5vx]

@@TheHelpfulTrucker Look in the mirror...that's "arrogant and unqualified" starring back at you dawg! You are TOTALLY uppity!

[@EstherzCrown]

​@TheHelpfulTrucker in missouri it's required to go to school 1 week in class the 1 week pre trip 2 weeks learning the trucks in my honest opinion...a month is not enough time.i went to roadmaster here in st.louis I couldn't complete because of personal reasons.

[@jl909-nr5vx]

Roadmaster is garbage...best go to a community college..they are the cheapest generally around $2500 for a 8 week program...and if you can't afford that, company CDL training might work...but you end up paying a year of your life for the convenience.@@EstherzCrown

@Touchcheeks dmv you take the test of which license you need and either u join a school to get your full cdl which is the driving course or someone is qualified to show you and is an instructor so you can get the driving done ..
