I made this site about trucking as I want to provide you with information to help you decide if trucking is for you. It will have sites regarding trucking in general, truck stops, hopefully information regarding trucking schools, links to ebooks, products that truck drivers may want or should have. As I wish to learn more about over-the-road trucking itself (I am a local driver) this will cause me to continue my research in this area, thus making this site more valuable to the reader. Right now, it is still in the set-up stage.
Training Trucking Companies
These are some of the trucking companies that will train you. Some are free, but you probably will have to drive with them for a specified period of time. Some are sponsored training, meaning you pay for the training but the company will pay you back for some or all of the training.
- Schneider National
- Schneider National, also known as the Big Orange, will train you.
- CRST Van Expedited
- CRST
- England
- England Trucking. This is one that you pay for as England does not actually train you. Rather, they are associated with outside truck driver training schools.
- Central Refrigerated
- This is one that, I believe, does actual training. This company is a "refer" company, meaning they drive refrigerated van.
