Truck Driving Schools in New Jersey (NJ)
With an expected growth rate of 9 percent between 2008 and 2018, the job outlook for truck drivers is favorable, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS classifies truck drivers into two basic categories: heavy / tractor-trailer truck drivers and light / delivery services truck drivers. As of May 2009 (latest available data), heavy truck drivers in New Jersey earn a median hourly wage of $20.28 (median annual salary of $42,190). Light truck drivers in New Jersey earn a median hourly wage of $15.26 (median annual salary of $31,740). There are over 65,400 truck drivers in New Jersey. To join them you must first earn your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and a truck driving school in New Jersey will prepare you to achieve this goal.
Truck driving schools in New Jersey are scattered across the state with hotspots around Newark, Trenton, Cherry Hill, and Paterson. New Jersey truck driving schools offer the training you need to gain your CDL, which is required to drive a Class A, B or C commercial vehicle. In order to obtain a CDL license in New Jersey, you must be at least 18 years old (21 years old for interstate truck driving), pass an eye exam and have a current medical card. CDL applicants must then pass a written exam and a skills test, which includes a pre-trip vehicle inspection, a basic control skills test, and an on-road driving exam. Depending on the class of license and endorsements you need, other knowledge and skills tests may be required--for example, to drive a tanker truck, a school bus, a combination vehicle, a truck with air brakes or to transport passengers. New Jersey trucking schools will prepare you to pass these examinations.
