Read over the list below to find out why you should begin studying to get your CDL today!

Companies across the United States are always looking for qualified Class “A” CDL drivers to transport their goods locally or nationally.

Commercial truck drivers are in short supply! Once a company finds a trustworthy and safe driver, it will do everything it can to ensure the driver wants to work for the company for years to come.

As a commercial truck driver, you can have the schedule that fits your lifestyle. You can join a company that offers you a chance to travel to new destinations each day or one that offers the dependability of a schedule with pre-determined hours.

Individuals enrolled in DEC’s Commercial Driver’s License Program receive training that meets the industry’s training and safety standards.
