All Truck Driver Training – Read This Before You Enrol!

We often see advertisements from different truck driver training programs such as,

On-Site Commercial Driving Licence (CDL) Training in 2 weeks!

CDL in 16 days &

CDL Training in Just 30 days

Do you think, whether this is going to work out? Learning to drive truck, trailer or heavy vehicle

with a gross combination weight rating of 25,000 pounds or more and trailer exceeding 10,000

pounds gross vehicle weight rating simply cannot be done adequately in 2 weeks or 30 days! So

if any school promises to do so, they will definitely skip teaching critical skills that you need to

know.

and authorised HR truck driving schools out there, there are many more fly-by-night scam truck

training providers. So as the leading truck driver training providers in Sydney, we thought to

Things to Consider before Deciding Which Truck Driving School is Right

How Long They Have Been in Business?

How long a truck driving school has been running speaks more about their character, &

trustworthiness. Truck driver training schools pop up all the time in the form of small operation

setup with two trucks and a trailer for an office. Theses driving schools are just interested in only

one thing, yeah, that’s “Taking Your Money”. So before you decide to choosing the one, do

proper research to find out how long they have been in business and check whether they are

approved by the State Licensing Agency or not.

What Is Their Success Track Record?

Check whether the school give you quick and easy access to its graduation and

employment numbers. If it doesn’t, the only reason is either because they are a fly-by-night

training providers or their numbers aren’t as good as they should be.

Do They Have a Website?

Analyse their website to find out whether they provide you with all the information you

need to evaluate them and to make an informed decision. Also check does it actually provide

you with their contact information, who they train for, and placement assistance.

What Will You Learn In Truck Driving School?

Every school is going to vary in terms of teaching, training, time duration of courses and exactly

what you are going to learn. But the one thing common in every school is you are going to

spend at least one week in the classroom. This is intended to provide clear guidance on

questions about towing weight, road signs, how long you can drive without a break, road signs,

and so forth.

Further, you need to learn how to manoeuvre, tow, load and unload, turn, reverse and back up,

etc. You will learn all the controls, the different controls on deck, how to use them, what is

required to manoeuvre a heavy fleet and more….all these will be included as a part of the

training that you will go through in any truck driving school that you attend.

Benefits of Learning HR/CDL Driving:

You get paid to travel!

You can earn approximately $40,000

Give you the freedom of the open road and flexible hours.

Job security

Deciding to begin a new career in trucking can be extremely an intimidating task. It is important

to fully understand what the job entails, what type of training you will go through, the costs, and

how long it is going to take you, to eventually get to where you want to get to in your career.
