I wanted to get into trucking late 2019. Found a local 300 truck fleet company that had their own CDL school . I paid $4000 cash. Took about 2 months. They hired me after school, and gave me 5 raises in first 20 months because I was such a good driver. I have found my craft ! Praise the Lord.

I got my start with Schneider National (in Canada). It was two weeks in class/truck, and a week on the road (55 hours of driving/on duty time over 5 and a half days) with an (experienced driver) trainer and ran about 2700 miles (4400km), where I probably drove all but 10 miles. The first two days on the road I was feeling overwhelmed, but Day 3 I couldn't wait to be on my own. Started in Guelph, ran a hazmat load up to Milwaukee (WI), took a load of paper to Kingston, grabbed a 3M load in Brockville, and ran all the way to Dekalb (IL), and ended back in Guelph. It probably helped that I was in my early 40's and I had been driving for 25 years (without any accidents) when I got my CDL. It might have been a much different picture if I had been in my 20's. While I can understand the insurance company's reasons for not wanting to insure a driver with less than two years, I think there should be some flexibility if that newer driver has a decade or two of clean driving (even if not in a Commercial vehicle).

I went through Werner's driver school and was offered a job from them as soon as I got my cdl. They helped pay for the school as well. The only thing I didn't like was how quick the training was (only about a month) and how quickly they are willing to send new drivers to more dangerous areas. In the first month I was driving through wyoming in snow/ice conditions. Luckily I wasn't sent to New York City until I was about 6 months in. Big tip for new drivers, GET OUT AND LOOK before it becomes an accident. It doesnt matter how many times you get out, it's not a test nor a rush. Keeping your driving record clean is what it is all about!

I trained last year with Cr England. Training was 10 days of self study. When I took the cdl test, I'd only been behind the wheel of a truck three times. Spent two weeks with a trainer and another trainee in a three bunk truck. That was a joke because the entire two weeks was nothing but me and the other guy driving while the trainer slept or argued with his wife on the phone. A week in the trainer kicked the other trainee off the truck, and two days after that went on home time and left me with the truck at a the flying j in Hesperia CA, but the dispatcher wouldn't let me idle the truck to have air conditioning. Spent three days roasting in the truck until the trainer came back.

I know Ronan has his reasons but his idea that a mega company is going to be spending months training a driver is crazy. I'm doing exactly what he sead not to. In 2 weeks my notice will be up and I'm going to be driving one of my friends trucks. He promised me 2 weeks of me driving the rig and to be available on the phone for any questions I'm going to have.

1 month training ? That's alot lol in montreal Canada alot of small company's say 1 day or 1 week maximum and that too not paid. The company i started out with it was 80 hours so about 7 days of work and training is paid after 6 months of staying with them.. so you pay truck course and work less in that time then start findinf trucking job which takes 1-2 weeks then don't get paid for another 3 weeks so you're out of money for quite some time before you start seeing the first cheque and then with deductions and so on you're making like 1.5k every two weeks at 21$ an hour.b

Ronen - Thank You! I will never drive with a CDL. At 17- 18 - I spent a few weeks with a Driver with 36 years - accident free. Much Later - 2010 or so, I was getting Fuel at a small garage. The pumps were split - so you could fill a Class 1 and a small hose separated for cars. I was driving a 15 year old diesel. The trucker asked If I was interested in driving woods work. I wondered if he was serious. He said - it is obvious that you fix most of your problems. And you know how not to break stuff. PS - I met one of your drivers - in Fredericton NB last week. The turn he had to make was tight. I punched my flashers and stopped 3 car lengths short of the intersection. We waved at each other and went on our ways.

More trucking companies should want to properly train their drivers because it is less costly in my view to do so than to have to pay out substantially more after such a driver has been involved in a crash that has turned out to be his or her fault. 2018 featured a novice trucker, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, Who have had, combined, under a month of experience, driving tractor trailers before his involvement in a crash that would at the very least severely injure over a dozen people on a bus that crashed into the semi-truck that he had been driving. That he had run a stop sign contributed to the crash. That Sidhu pleaded guilty to multiple counts of dangerous driving (some for cause death, others for cause bodily harm) may have gotten him a shorter prison sentence than he likely otherwise would’ve received although the damage that he caused will likely not be forgotten for decades to come. Add to long-haul, not everyone wants to do that type of tracking. Some may only want to do regional work, whilst others will have a preference for working local. The rest may be the least working long haul, but I believe that working local means getting used to doing deliveries in locations with tight turns and limited space. Even truckers who do regional or long-haul work often eventually encounter tight loading and unloading areas.

Good information, Ronan. When I started OTR, I had come from the oilfield, so driving the truck wasn't a problem (nor was fixing minor stuff on the road). I went with a Driver Mentor for one week (Calgary to California & return) simply because I had no clue what had to be done to cross the border - that didn't happen in the oilfield service company I was working for. The carrier was willing to give me a truck and send me out on regular runs, but I asked for a Mentor for one run so I could learn what was needed and expected of truck drivers crossing the border both ways. After the one trip, I was given the tractor and placed on the board for the California/Arizona runs.

What would be really revelatory in this market and industry, is if you could enlighten us all how experienced drivers, with over a million safe miles, can receive the pay and respect that they are due and not be treated the same as a rookie driver who brings way more risk to the table. How do we keep experienced drivers in this industry, and pay them what they are worth? Any answers? Because no one's actually doing that, which is why we're having this discussion about new drivers all the time. So again the only question is, why is this industry a driver mill, that destroys experienced good drivers and just brings in new inexperienced risk hazards to replace them with? If you're an owner of a company, and you pride yourself on good investments, why aren't you actually investing in more experienced drivers? Why are you out there taking on all the risk, and then complaining about it? I think it's because you don't actually want what you say you want. What you want is cheap exploitable labor. What you don't want to do is pay the money necessary to keep talent. Do you want to build a strong business, keep respected safe drivers, and be in business for years? Or do you want to extract as much wealth as possible from the industry and leave it in a shambles when you inevitably cash out? Either you live long enough to become the next mega Carrier, or you sell out to the mega carrier when times are tough. Tell me I'm wrong. "You" btw is the vast majority of trucking carriers out there. Sure there might be a 5% company that only hires experience drivers, but if they are they're very small and aren't looking to "grow grow grow", which is the only thing investors, Wall Street, and venture capital want to see.

how do you deal with a shipper like budweiser in colorado - load going to clovis nm... that sends you out off their scales- overweight-- the ticket said 79500 and just to be sure i went on the cat scale 150 miles away--- it was like 83500 showing i was several hundred lbs over--- even after burning the fuel weight getting there?

Ronen, sorry to tell you ,I don't know of more then a couple of companies here in the U.S. that train for more then 3 or 4 weeks? I went through company sponsored training, class room was 21 days, I was out with a trainer for 19 days, then I was given a truck with another driver with the same amount of training. Sometimes I'm amazed that I stuck it out, it was horrible the first few years. 10+ years later, I love it.

Food service jobs and ltl will hire new drivers, like Sysco and Gordon foods and Pepsi and coke. Also some flatbed company’s will, like the one I work for and that pay top rate per hr.

I got my CDL nine months ago from a school in Florida. I drove six months local for a large tomato farm. I just completed my second day of orientation with a very large OTR company. They require me to drive with a trainer for 30,000mi minimum before I’m able to upgrade to my own truck. $900/wk guaranteed during training. Do your due diligence and research. There are good training companies out there. Don’t settle for less than what you deserve.

Get on indeed create a resume and apply everywhere under the sun. Sometimes local companies are very desperate to hire quickly but the pay may not be great.

I can’t get a job because I don’t have recent experience, although I have over forty years CDL A experience, I retired in 2017 and gave up my CDL and I’m now bored and want to go back to work so I went to a CDL school and got my CDL again, the school was a CDL school not a driving school, I basically just had to brush up on the Pretrip but employers say I need recent experience, so what now, I took a road test for Sunbelt equipment rentals and the tester said I drove better than most of the drivers that were already working there but they couldn’t hire me because I didn’t have recent experience

Went to a school and decided to go with a small company. Put me in a truck the night I got my license by myself. The only information they gave me is I would have to cheat my eld and find ways around it logging my driving so I could make them more money. Now Im going to a mega carrier so I can learn how to log correctly and run legally

Well this video was very helpful but disheartening at the same time. I am going to start school on the 14th of March with the goal of getting into hazmat/ tanker work for a regional company. Sounds like I need to reassess my expectations. Excellent video thank you.

While I do recommend team operations for new drivers, One question to ask... Will you be starting as a true team, alternating driving with your trainer, or will the trainer actually be sitting in the passenger seat ACTUALLY training you instead of being in the back sleeping, watching tv, or whatever, while you try to figure your new job out for yourself. I have heard horror stories about these scenarios. Make sure you know company policy on this, and that your trainer understands it too, and will comply with that policy. A driver facing camera can be a big help if this situation becomes your trainers word against yours. This should NOT be a problem, but it DOES still happen. You can always move to true team (not to mention solo) driving when you, your trainer, and the company all agree that you are ready to do so, and you are ready to the face the many daily trials that truck driver face mile after mile. After all, trucking is 95% problem solving, and you better get used to getting that proverbial square peg into the round hole. That does not mean you should accept anything but the best training to set you up to succeed in your chosen career.
