Trucking is the circulatory system of the nation. Every big city and little town relies on trucks to get their cargo from ports and major depots to the stores and warehouses that supply everyday life. However, there are no longer enough skilled truck drivers to go around. As e-Commerce skyrockets the need for both long-distance truckers and in-town delivery drivers, an increasing percentage of the population are choosing indoor jobs instead.
This means that those brave and adventurous professionals who earn their CDL (commercial driver’s license) are in an excellent spot to find a job with the perfect balance between time spent on the open road and time spent at home.
Southern Careers Institute’s CDL-A Training Program
At Southern Careers Institute (SCI), we prioritize training that prepares you for the workforce, not just courses that earn a certificate. Our practical, hands-on CDL-A course can help you learn to become a professional large-vehicle operator. The course combines time behind the wheel with online coursework so that you can study on your own time and come in when you’re ready to practice driving. Once you have completed the course and feel confident operating a large truck on your own, you can take the Class-A CDL test and walk away with an entirely new career rolling out like the open road before you.What is a CDL-A and What Can I Do With It?
