A CDL (commercial driver’s license) is required for those in the U.S. who operate large and heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses and trailers. What are some reasons to get your CDL?
After some study, testing and practice, you can obtain a CDL which opens up new opportunities for you to work and make money.
Perhaps you’re stuck in what seems like a dead-end job, working 9 to 5, bored in an office somewhere with bad lighting and the same old, same old everyday. Well, get out of there! Hit the road and see America, or at least some of your state! When you get your CDL you aren’t stuck with a regular 9 to 5 job working in the same environment daily. Instead, you get variety, and some people love variety– after all, it is the spice of life.
There is a Consistent Demand for Truck Drivers
Is there a high demand for truck drivers these days? You bet! If you pass the test(s), aren’t using drugs and have a willingness to work, truck driving offers many jobs that pay well. You can choose to be a long distance trucker, away from home for days or weeks at a time, or you can stay local if that matters to you. With trucking, local and national companies always seem to be hiring and in need of drivers. Yes, you could go to college and get a degree in philosophy but how practical is that? Trucking, however, is practical and needed in this economy and society.
Truckers can expect excellent pay and benefits such as health insurance and vacation time. You don’t need a college degree to get your CDL and drive trucks, and that means you don’t get saddled with college debt like so many people do. Financial aid might also be offered by certain trucking companies, making your training affordable.
