Are you looking for a career where you can start earning a competitive salary with minimal experience? Do you want to drive BIG trucks? Are you willing to invest in the best version of yourself? If you have answered, “Yes” to these questions, Trucking Academy of Georgia is exactly where you belong. By enrolling in our CDL training program, you will learn everything that you need to know to put your career in drive and keep moving forward.
Currently, there is a nationwide shortage of Class A CDL drivers, and it is having a profound effect on the transportation and truck driving industry. The nation’s leading carriers, such as Amazon, Averitt, FedEx, Schneider, Werner along with mid-size and small carriers are hiring commercial driver’s license (CDL) graduates by the dozens. Now is truly the time to make professional driving your career choice.
Earning a Class A CDL presents you with several career opportunities in the transportation industry. Holding a Class A CDL automatically qualifies you to drive a truck that tows a trailer with a GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of more than 10,000 pounds. Most of the big semi-trucks you see while driving our nation’s highways are Class A vehicles.
When you receive Class A CDL training, you are also able to drive the Class B and Class C vehicles. Class B drivers are restricted to vehicles that tow trailers that do not exceed a GVWR of 10,000 pounds, or with large vehicles that do not have detachable trailers such as dump trucks.
Although Class A CDL drivers can operate the widest variety of vehicles of any license, there are a few exceptions that do require the driver to have special endorsements
This means that Class A CDL drivers can operate:
- Semi-trucks
- Tractor-trailers
- Flatbeds
- Box trucks
- Dump trucks
- Straight trucks
- Passenger vans
- Tanker vehicles
- Double and Triple trailers
- Livestock carriers
