Its Time To Go To Truck Driving School

WSAZ Channel 3 news ran an article about the trucking industry. The article was directed more so to CDL Training and how enrollments are up. This article was highlighted because it seemed to point out the benefits of going and getting the training necessary for a CDL career. The media has almost made unemployment popular. For those who wish to buck the trend, a good CDL school may be the answer.

From the article, trucking schools in West Virginia are seeing increases in program enrollment. The article quoted David Belcher, who was recently laid off. He said " I thought this would be a good job to go into."

Truck driving can certainly be a good career choice.Jobs pay well and companies are always looking for good drivers. Not many other professions pay you to travel and give you the opportunity to see the open road.

Another article was also put out by 11Alive.com that also spoke of schools packed with folks that are looking for training to get into the truck driving industry. Overall that article showed how truck driving school can be a step towards a new beginning for many.

Both stories provided salary increments to seriously consider. WSAZ said a driver could expect to earn between $30,000 to $40,000 per year and 11Alive quoted a student who gave an estimate of $40,000. The 11Alive article also discussed the likely hood of finding work after completing school. According to their article, a truck driving school director said, "they have a 90 percent graduation rate and about 95% of their students are finding jobs in the trucking industry.”

That’s right 95% are finding work. That makes the job outlook look pretty good for those students that enroll in truck driving school.
