Education and training.
A commercial driver’s license (CDL) is required to drive large trucks and a regular driver’s license is required to drive all other trucks.

Training for the CDL is offered by many private and public vocational-technical schools. Many jobs driving smaller trucks require only brief on-the-job training. Taking driver-training courses is a good way to prepare for truck driving jobs and to obtain a commercial drivers license (CDL).

High school courses in driver training and automotive mechanics also may be helpful. Many private and public vocational-technical schools offer tractor-trailer driver training programs. Students learn to maneuver large vehicles on crowded streets and in highway traffic. They also learn to inspect trucks and freight for compliance with regulations. Some States require prospective drivers to complete a training course in basic truck driving before getting their CDL.

Great Opportunities as a Truck Driver

The average trucker salary is $35,000 a year, according to a survey by the American Truckers Association. Truck drivers are a constant presence on the Nation's highways and interstates, delivering everything from automobiles to zoology equipment. Trucks carry nearly all goods at some point in their journey from producer to consumer. As a graduate of National Truck Drivers School, you could be behind the wheel of one of these great trucks.

Employment.

Overall employment of truck drivers and driver/sales workers is expected to increase by 8 percent over the 2006-16 decade, due to growth in the economy and in the amount of freight carried by truck. Because it is such a large occupation, truck drivers will have a very large number of new jobs arise, over 258,000 over the 2006-16 period.

Competing forms of freight transportation—rail, air, and ship transportation—require trucks to move the goods between ports, depots, airports, warehouses, retailers, and final consumers who are not connected to these other modes of transportation. Demand for long-distance drivers will remain strong because they can transport perishable and time-sensitive goods more effectively than alternate modes of transportation.
