We could even mention the end consumer, without whom there would not be a need for trucking industry, special licenses, or trucking schools.
But it is the actual driver who is truly the heart, even the life blood of the trucking industry. Because without drivers who would haul the cargo? Who would brave the open road ensuring that the store shelves are able to be stocked?
And if it was not for truck drivers, Hollywood never would have been able to make all those great industry related movies we all know and love.
However, there is more to this than just being able to drive. In most parts of the United States it is a major stepping stone when a teenager is able to get their license. But, the standard driving license isn’t enough if you want to be professional truck driver.
You must obtain a CDL, a special driving license that allows you to operate those large commercial trucks (and buses). Furthermore, in most cases they also require you to have both experience and officially recognized training.

Fortunately there are options for getting this, and you don’t need to attend a full fledge four year university. Some of the options are military service, if you are able to drive a truck in the service you are a shoe-in for almost any company.
