CDL Training

Which trucking companies does Driver Solutions recruit drivers for?

Currently, Driver Solutions has contract CDL training agreements with PAM Transport and USA Truck. That means that either PAM Transport or USA Truck offer company-sponsored or company-paid truck driving school for eligible, qualified candidates. Once the CDL training is completed, trucking school graduates begin an entry-level truck driver job for the trucking company that sponsored the CDL training.


No experience is required for these truck driver jobs.


We also recruit experienced truck drivers for Celadon.

Where Can I Find A Phone Number To Driver Solutions?

Due to the high volume of calls we receive daily from truck driving job applicants, we are unable to accept general question phone calls. If you have questions regarding whether you are qualified, you need to submit a completed online application so one of our Driver Agent recruiters can review your application and discuss options with you.

Are CDL refresher courses offered for people who already have a CDL?

No, Driver Solutions does not provide a shortend CDL training course or CDL refresher course for people who already hold a valid CDL. You would need to attend the full CDL training program to be certified for these truck driving job opportunities.

Will I Be Able To Find A Job After I Complete CDL Training?

YES!! The Driver Solutions CDL training program is unique because it's a company-sponsored training program.

This means that you will not begin the truck driving school until your application has been approved for a truck driving job with a Driver Solutions Network trucking company.  That trucking company pays for your training and you go to work for that company.
