Truck Driving Job Placement
At Georgia Driving Academy, we know that truck driving school and earning your CDL license is only the first steps towards the end goal for our students: obtaining a job as a professional truck driver.
GDA works with recruiters from many trucking companies throughout the state and beyond to help our graduates identify the best opportunities available to them. Staff is available to answer questions and help guide students to a company that best suits their needs.
Recruiters from various trucking carriers come on-site to give presentations about their company. Students can then apply to the employers if they so choose. Most students have multiple pre-hires awaiting them upon graduation. After completing their training, students are immediately able to report to employers as entry-level truck drivers.
The staff is excellent and they truly do help get you prepared for
your new career path.
