Before signing up anywhere, it is important to research your options and think about the pros and cons of each school you’re thinking about attending. Not sure how to get started? We have compiled a list of questions to ask yourself to ensure that you make the right decision for you and your future.
What to Look For:
- Is the school close?

Effective and experienced instructors can make the difference between money wasted and money well spent. Investigate the instructors’ experiences in the industry.At America Truck Driving School, we hire instructors that are not only experienced in driving but also have the ability to teach their knowledge in a way that makes sense for their students. - Does the school help you find a job?
