I have officially enrolled C.D.L. Training Services & Consulting in Paducah, KY. My class will start the 27th of April and last 4 weeks. For the last 3 months I have been checking into training schools from talking to them over the phone to actually visting the ones within 2 to 3 hours of my location. I have agonized over this decision (leaving the familiar for the not so familiar) I have been with my current company for 20 years in the Logistics world just the other side(end) of the truck. This has always been my dream so why not go for the gusto.
A major factor in choosing this school was its location (hubby is a driver with a dedicated route and passes through this area almost daily. This allows me to stay at a campground with easy access to a truck stop(for him) plus I can have my doggies with me during the training so I only have to board them when I go through orientation and actual company training. My plan is to add to this after each day of training (plan) is the keyword.
Dedicated Route:
A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
