Training After School
Just because you graduate program and get your Class A CDL License that does not mean that your training is over. The employer that you go to work for will put you through additional advanced training and assign you a driver trainer to ride with you on the road until you both feel fully comfortable that you are ready to drive solo. Roadmaster’s job is to help you learn to drive a truck and get your Class A CDL License, but for professional truck drivers the training never ends!
