 In the near
future, the Teamsters National Education
and Training Fund will offer regional
training programs. In the meantime, we
can direct you to alternative resources
to earn a Commercial Drivers License (CDL).
A CDL is a requirement for obtaining a
union position with a major or local
freight carrier covered under the
National Master Freight Agreement.
Teamster drivers are highly skilled due to a
combination of education, training and experience. When it comes to education
and training we recommend driver-training courses certified by the
Professional Truck
Driving Institute (PTDI). PTDI certifies driver-training courses that
meet training standards established and recognized by both industry and
government. PTDI gives students the foundation to become quality and safe
drivers. The Teamsters have representation in the development of
PTDI's training standards and on the PTDI
Board of Directors.
For those Teamster members looking to
upgrade their skills there are programs
available through many local unions to
acquire CDL training. To participate in
these programs you must be a current
Teamster member in good standing.
