As summer winds down and the kids head back to school, many parents find themselves with more time during the day and an opportunity to refocus on their own goals. If you’ve been thinking about starting a new career as a professional truck driver, there’s no better time than now to get your CDL—and 160 Driving Academy can help you make it happen.

Why Fall Is the Ideal Time for CDL Training

When school is back in session, your schedule often opens up. The hustle of summer activities slows down, giving you the chance to invest in yourself without sacrificing time with your family. Here’s why this season is perfect for CDL training:

  • Daytime Availability: With kids in class, you can attend training during the day and still be home for dinner, homework help, and bedtime routines.
  • Focused Learning: Fewer summer distractions mean you can fully focus on your training and prepare for your new career.
  • Job Market Demand: Trucking companies are always hiring, but fall is a particularly strong season for recruitment as companies prepare for increased holiday demand.
