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. Non-Member Resources Member Resources
