Why Get Your CDL A?

Job Security

The demand for truck drivers is higher than ever. A CDL opens the door to many job opportunities to choose from! You don’t have to worry about being stuck in the same old dead-end job. From local to regional or over-the-road routes, CDL drivers have many career options! You also have the option to drive solo, or partner up and drive as a team. 

Excellent Pay & Benefits

A truck driving career has excellent pay, great benefits, and substantial retirement options. You won’t have to live from paycheck to paycheck anymore. Many companies are offering sign-on bonuses, as well as comprehensive benefits packages that include health insurance, paid vacation time, and much more!

No Degree Required

CDL training is a low-cost investment that will pay off big down the road. As a truck driver, you won’t need a 4-year degree or have to spend years paying back huge government student loans. At ZETA Driving School, we offer financial aid options to make CDL training affordable, including extra benefits for military veterans.
