Hi Everyone.
Full-on
Newbie, here. I'm looking into giving up my day-job for a life-job, and was curious as to how the length of training impacts the willingness of employers to bring a new driver on.
I work a solid white-collared job. It's stable in terms of a paycheck coming in, but the personal benefit in it is pretty much non-existant. Because of the stability, though, I wanted to see if it'd be possible to complete my CDL training part-time while maintaining my current job. I found a
local school that seems decent... the admissions people are great, and I haven't heard anything bad about the training. They have an 8-week course available that would work around my current schedule...
...but...
...I read while browing the internet that employers are less likely to hire someone that takes a long time (4 Weeks +) to complete a course versus someone taking a 3 to 4 week training program.
What's the validity in that statement, if any?
