Tips for No Experience / Student Drivers
- 💡 Apply to carrier-sponsored CDL training programs from companies like CRST, Swift, or Werner — they cover tuition costs in exchange for a 1-year driving commitment.
- 💡 Get your CDL permit before applying to maximize your options. Study the CDL manual and practice at a local driving school if possible.
- 💡 Be prepared for 4-8 weeks of OTR training with a mentor driver before going solo. Use this time to learn real-world skills like backing, trip planning, and log management.
- 💡 Avoid lease-purchase agreements as a new driver — the financial terms heavily favor the carrier and many new drivers end up losing money.
