1. How to Become a Truck Driver Learning to drive trucks opens the door to a great career opportunity that offers unparalleled stability and consistency along with competitive pay and benefits. The trucking industry has been an excellent source of jobs for tens of millions of Americans over the last hundred years. You can be part of this exciting industry. There are two ways to become a truck driver. First is to get your learner’s permit, undergo CDL training at the school of your choice, and then search for jobs until you find one. This is the hard way to do it. An easier way is to apply directly with C.R. England. We make it simple by guiding you through the entire process, from start to finish. An added bonus of working through C.R. England is that we guarantee a job to every driver who completes our training course.
