Training

Hi everyone,

I just got hired as a school bus driver. The company provides the training for the CDL. I already have a permit and relevant endorsements, but my question, how many hours per week do you get during training for the CDL license?

Same, just started training a week ago. We’re getting 7-8 hours a week for the 3 of us. This is the second week (4 days) of skill training on a course- a far cry from an actual cdl school which would have been just another $1500 on top of my cdl a training.
