Job Placement
Learning from Instructors Who Know the Industry
Starting a career in trucking involves more than learning how to operate a commercial vehicle. Our instructors come directly from the trucking industry and share real-world insight with students throughout training, including conversations about the types of driving opportunities available after earning a CDL.
Students also have access to an employer job board featuring companies that are actively hiring CDL drivers. This helps students stay informed about potential opportunities and understand what employers in the industry are looking for when hiring new drivers.

Because CDL drivers are needed across many industries, a CDL can open the door to more than traditional long-haul trucking. Drivers may choose over-the-road travel, regional routes, or local positions depending on their interests and preferred schedules.
Exploring these options helps students understand the many ways a CDL can be used across different industries and work environments.
Sponsorships
Training Trusted by Industry Employers
Many companies across a wide range of industries send their employees to Idaho CDL Training for professional CDL instruction and skills testing. We work with national, regional, and local employers who rely on our training programs to prepare drivers for roles in transportation, construction, agriculture, energy, public services, and other industries that require commercial driving.
Some students arrive already connected with an employer who is supporting their training. These employer-sponsored students complete the same training and testing process while preparing to return to work with their company after earning their CDL.
