What are some of the requirements?
- Legal
- Regulatory (federal, state, and local)
- Required training and licenses
To name a few; But don’t worry it isn’t that bad, not really. When you do a little research, and attend the proper training you will see that actually most of it is easy to sort through. The hardest part is the first step.
What is that step, you ask? Besides deciding to be a trucker? -Researching truck driving schools and licensing CDL requirements. In order to be a truck driver you will need a CDL, a Commercial Driver’s License.

Just like a regular driver’s license, expect to be tested. This involves both a written and driving portion. You will of course need to get access to a commercial vehicle for this. How does one get a truck? Unless your family has a trucking company of their own, your best option is attend a CDL truck driving school. Well, actually your best option is to find a way to get paid CDL training.
Is that hard to do? No, not really. As long as you find a program that fits your schedule and needs. You will also need to meet all the requirements. Be available for the entire duration of the program, unlike college there’s no cutting class.
