Entry-Level Driver’s Training—Vroom, Vroom Continued

The bad news is that most entry-level driver’s training programs offered are going to cost some money—and I don’t mean pocket change. There are private organizations that offer training in packages consisting of videos, manuals and certificates, and some organizations that offer classes (even a university or two). All will cost you around $250, although the university course was $2,000. If entry-level driver’s training is something that interests you, remember that these are required programs dictated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for all entry-level drivers. Of course there are also driving schools, which offer all of these classes as well, but they are not free and so to get either your commercial driver’s license (CDL), which is what one strives to get as an entry-level driver, get comfy with the idea of these classes.
I wrote another article a little while ago about entry-level driver training and I know I talked about some classes that were available out there for these training programs. I recommend checking out the DOT’s website where there are endless resources for driver’s in general. The site will show you the different rules and regulations out there that all entry-level drivers must know before they can get a CDL or any other type of professional driver’s license. Then shop around for the best deal out there for entry-level driver’s training (I list a couple of sites I found below).
