- This is the best way I know of to get a CDL without paying thousands for CDL school and without locking yourself in to company sponsored training.

Thank you! It's exactly the information I had been searching for! Because there isn't anything said about "CDL School" in the Regulation but only said about "CDL Theory and BTW training" plus that the training must be provided by a certificated trainer. It's All! NO CDL SCHOOL AT ALL! I've already passed my CDL Theory on-line course which is registered by FMCSA. I've got my CPL too. All that costed me $100 in total. Plus medical exam $75. Then I sent a request to DMS for further explanation because I FELT that CDL Schools lie that all students need their sevice. So that schools only want to earn. So it's a GOOD way to save money!
I found this to be the most helpful video. Your comment as well. How long did it take you to get your cdlp doing it online?
Thanks Helpful Trucker. More information we were uninformed about. We appreciate your efforts in giving us valuable content.
These types of interviews are HELPFUL.
Nobody falls asleep learning important information.
Let me introduce myself lol😂
Appreciate that!
Yea okay have you watch or been at a six hour lecture
This is exactly the content im looking for. Want to find the best option for me, not the schools bank account
I’ve decided to get my CDL and I came across your channel, I will definitely go through your channel for information
Definitely watched your video yesterday ordered the eldt package for 50$ I already have my cdl b permit and air brakes I started doing the package lastnite finished this morning passed with flying colors…..yes it’s a long package but very easy and too the point…..remind you guys this is the eldt theory part after you do this you have to take the btw/ behind the wheel part and you are officially certified easy….thanks guys..psa truth be told if this video go viral this will help a lot of ppl save money by taking these proper steps yourself
Packed with high-quality knowledge. Thx for sharing.
Your state DOT(transportation maintenance department has the elearning academy for the bookwork. It is 100% free, once you complete the modules and take the test elearning test its posted in approx 48 hours onto the FMCSA. Then get your permit. then find a BTW trainer ,train and test out. Overall cost if all out of pocket will be $2500 or less, much less if you use your state WOIWA funds, through your county Job and Family Services.
At worst if the government pays your course, then you will be just about guaranteed to pass your cdl, and have your theory training already on the books.
Wow tot didn’t know and I know plenty off family and friends on the road
I have my CDL permit class B but I’m stuck school is too expensive
Can we talk more about being a provider?
I’m currently pending (just want to get my son in trucking world without school)
So as a driver myself I can essentially “sign off” saying he can drive and he can get his class A?
So help me out with a question I have, I'm already driving non cdl straight trucks, want to get my class B, if I get ELDT Certification, how would I then do the driver portion or road test in order to complete my ELDT"?
The left and btw training have to be the same provider …I’m in texas
Great information as always my friend. Thank you.
Bro I have already gone through training at Millis but I need help taking the pre-trip and road test. What should I do?
Wow so is there someone here in GA willing to train me
Wow
What I think is BS is, I drove for 8 years in the army, on US roadways, and was trained by the federal government/ army, but when I got out, don’t have anything. I think it’s silly.
Many cdl schools offer credits for soldiers with a trucking mos and many other benifits.
My dream job is a truck driver, Is it possible i can bscome a truck driver right after high school? (After i guaduate high school) right now 2023 im in the 8th gade
Can’t wait to see ur vids too
You're the man 🔥🫡
Having a CDL you still need training to become a solo driver... also you need 2 years Driving Experience... before 90% of the carriers will hire you.
For the algorithm
I'm very curious 🤔 because ive drove log trucks since I was 15 in the woods but ive never had my cdl? Can I go take the test without going to school?
nope... you have to get training from a certified training provider
School bus drivers are in such high demand you can get a paid for CDL training in some areas.
Yeah, the pay in some areas is fantastic but hard to get more than 20 hours a week unless you're willing to have a wonky schedule doing field trips, etc. The next issue is the kids and how bad they are. As a parent who has been dealing with bullies on the bus and having heard the stories from my kids on how the other kids treat the driver, I wouldn't ever drive a school bus. There is a reason for such a shortage. Now should the pay jump to $40 an hour or more, and someone could easily live off the low hours that most drivers experiance, then I might think about it. Also sucks to have a split shift every day.
Can you make a video about regenerating to be a btw training provider? Please.
As a CDL examiner and trainer I can tell you that the average experienced truck driver has no idea how to teach nor what to teach a prospective CDL applicant.
You're a cdl examiner?
Need training. Can you help?
Can you do that in any state ? I live in illinois
Me too !
I want to get started in getting my class A license but I'm not entirely sure where to start and who to go to
Same here.
Have you gotten any further making a decision?
You prolly already started but if you ain’t yet I can tell you 3 apps that will help you pass the tests
So how does the instructor upload the skills n road results so i can be ready to get my real cdl?
sorry, im not sure how that part works
Not completely true school bus needs a licensed instructor
We do not need any more under-qualified truckers on the road... truck driving is not a amusement park Thrill Ride.
Man shut up.. you’re probably one of them..
Don't believe you. If you have a accident, the school or the person cound be held responsible. Schools has insurance, individual individual Don't .
Party pooper
So who's training in south Florida 😂.. I have my permit class A
Hey Chris how’s it work in Florida? I’m
Wanting to get my cdl my buddy has his own truck and is willing to show me but I don’t want to go to a big school and spend thousands
@Touchcheeks dmv you take the test of which license you need and either u join a school to get your full cdl which is the driving course or someone is qualified to show you and is an instructor so you can get the driving done ..
South fl here I’m tryna start January 2024 and I’m lookin for a instructor I can train with because I don’t want to go to a school
No one is going to get "certified" to teach you to drive...video is VERY MISLEADING!!!! Very shifty video. Too many of these edlt people pitching a "theory course to make $$$. Forget the separate theory garbage course ....just have to go to school these days.
Appreciate the comment... but you're TOTALLY unqualified to say what "no one" is going to do boss! it's past arrogant to think you know EVERYONE'S situation.
@@TheHelpfulTrucker Look in the mirror...that's "arrogant and unqualified" starring back at you dawg! You are TOTALLY uppity!
@TheHelpfulTrucker in missouri it's required to go to school 1 week in class the 1 week pre trip 2 weeks learning the trucks in my honest opinion...a month is not enough time.i went to roadmaster here in st.louis I couldn't complete because of personal reasons.
Roadmaster is garbage...best go to a community college..they are the cheapest generally around $2500 for a 8 week program...and if you can't afford that, company CDL training might work...but you end up paying a year of your life for the convenience.@@NoRevengeNeeded
