Road Tested
CDL training teaches you to pass the test. Road Tested teaches you to build a career.
The CDL Gets You in the Seat. What Keeps You There?
Most CDL programs cover the federal minimums and stop. Graduates get a license and almost no understanding of how the industry works. Pay structures, hours of service strategy, carrier selection, trip planning, communication with dispatch — the knowledge that determines whether a driver survives the first year or washes out in 90 days.
Industry turnover for new drivers exceeds 90% in the first year. Not because they can't drive — because nobody taught them the rest of it.
Give Your Graduates More Than a License
Your training program gets them road-ready. Road Tested keeps them employed. Independent CDL schools across the country are using these guides as supplemental curriculum and graduate resources.
Volume discounts for schools ordering 10 or more copies. Review copies available on request. No obligation.
"I use this book with all of my incoming students. It brings up things that the normal curriculum set forth by the FMCSA and portal providers don't really cover."
