Requirements
-
Although requirements vary among truck lines, most companies require you to have your high school diploma or GED and will do a background check on you to determine if you are a safe driver. Some companies may also require your driving regard to be a certain minimum length of time.
CDL
-
Commercial motor vehicles require special skills to operate, and the government's Commercial Driver's License program ensures truck drivers have the necessary ability. If you meet their initial requirements, some companies provide CDL training for free.
-
Agreement
-
Truck lines recoup the money invested in your training by having you sign a formal agreement. The agreement designates a certain minimum period of time you agree to work for the company after receiving your training. If you decide to quit before that time passes, the company will likely charge you a prorated amount for the training.
