There are lots of ways to get free cdl training in the trucking industry. The first thing you need to know is that there is really no such thing as free cdl training. It might sound like it’s free but read the fine print. There is always a contract associated with any type of free cdl training. The only real free cdl training is obtained by a grant for those who qualify. Usually you have to be unemployed for a period of time along with other qualifying factors.
Trucking company cdl schools sometimes advertize free cdl training or company sponsored cdl training. They will pay for the cost of your training as long as you make it through their school and sign a contract to work for them for an extended amount of time. The problem with this can be if they let you go a couple weeks into the training. Your free cdl training is now billing you for a couple thousand dollars and you didn’t even get a cdl!
Read the contracts and you will see that, if you are not passing the training, you will be responsible for all or part of the cost of that training. If you pass the trucking school you are now obligated to work for that trucking company for a year at rock bottom wages. If you leave early you will be responsible for the cost of the supposed free cdl training plus interest.
Choosing to go to an independent cdl training school can be the best option. A good trucking school will have job placement that offer tuition reimbursement packages paid over the amount of time you stay with that company. This can be your best bet giving you more options on where you want to work. Be cautious when offered free cdl training!
