Truck Driving Schools in California

One cannot work in the State of California as a truck driver without getting a commercial driver’s license (CDL) from the state’s DMV. In getting this license, one needs to first take and pass a written examination. You will receive a practice permit once you pass the written exam and will be allowed to go through your truck driving course and get the needed experience. These will help you prepare for the California CDL test.

Most driving schools in California have very flexible schedules for the convenience of their students. Depending on the school’s location and other factors, a school can charge $500 to $1,000 more or less than other schools. When you compare the pricing between schools, make sure that you understand why their pricing is set where it is. Try to talk to a school representative about what makes their school or program better than the rest.

As a truck driver in California, you’ll have many employers to choose from once you get your CDL. You can choose to work with a company that only operates within the California or try to work with a company that takes you to different states. One of the biggest advantages in working with a company that only operates within the state is that you get to go home more often. Among the different California cities, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose are the biggest truck driving cities.
