How long is truck driving school in Texas?

I need a new job, so I’m thinking about getting my commercial driver’s license to become a professional truck driver. How much time does it take to complete truck driving school in Texas?

I’m wishing you the best in your new career! On average, truck driving school in
Texas
takes five to six weeks to complete, although specific programs may vary.
Here are some examples of why a program may have a longer or shorter length:
  • Part-time programs take longer than full-time programs
  • Shorter programs may require additional behind-the-wheel driving hours
  • Train-to-hire courses may be expedited so you can start working for the host company faster
The length of your course, class size, and financial aid options are good things to consider when picking the truck driving school for you. Truck drivers are in high demand, so once you
get your CDL
, you should be able to find a job in no time.
