Job Placement and Employment Opportunities

Midwest Truck Driving School is proud to work with many companies around the country to employ our graduates.  We consistently exceed 80% employment from our CDL graduates as long as the individual can pass the industry standard requirements and FMCSR’s. Since 1998 the vast majority of our students that have wanted to get a job got one within the first 90 days of graduation.
