"Free CDL Training"

As you compare commercial driver license (CDL) schools, you might notice some programs that  claim to offer "free  CDL training" or "CDL training at little cost to you" or training at a  substantially reduced rate than other programs. Beware of these claims because  as you well know, nothing in life is truly free! You will get what you pay for!

Other programs or schools make these claims to give you a  false sense of security. In reality, they want to sign you up for what is  referred to as "contract training". Contract training for a commercial driver license  is simply where you, the student, signs a contract with a carrier who has agreed  to sponsor you for the cost training at the CDL school. In return, you are contractually bound  to work for that sponsoring carrier for a certain period of time and for  usually a lower wage than could be had if you weren't contractually bound.  These work periods can last for years. So much for “free CDL.”

At Nu-Way, we don't believe in contract training for our commercial driver license  students. Our admissions department prescreens all applicants before  they are accepted into the school. This speeds up job placement for those  accepted. Our job placement department works with over 40 trucking companies  that hire our students. We have recruiters that visit the school with the goal  of hiring as many commercial  driver license graduates that we can give them. It gives you a chance to  listen to the carrier representative, ask questions and choose with whom you  want to go to work. Our students usually average more pay than "contract  trained" individuals at other CDL schools. Many carriers also offer tuition reimbursement to  help defer costs of the program.
