Join On Your Way Trucking School Today!

Four Short Weeks— one great career!

ROLE, NEED AND IMPORTANCE The United States relies heavily on the trucking industry and professional drivers to transport nearly everything consumers use. The American Trucking Association estimates 35,000 drivers are needed immediately, increasing to 200,000 by 2023. And with an ever-increasing number of drivers on today's roadways, it is even more important for these drivers to participate in a training regimen like On Your Way CDL training.

No other job offers the freedom, stability and rewards that you'll experience as a professional driver. And there's no better place to start your training than at OYW, where you can get your commercial driver's license in just four short weeks (70 to 90 clock hours, with a total of 160 training hours)!

Plus, we'll help you find full-time employment with interstate trucking companies that hire our graduates directly out of the course. You can soon be enjoying the many advantages and benefits of employment as a full-time truck driver.
