How Can I Pay For Truck Driving School?

If you are committed to investing in your driving career, you will need to figure out how you will cover your tuition. Here are some of the more common ways students pay for truck driving school.

Cash

If you have enough savings built up, you might consider paying for school by writing a check. This gives you the greatest freedom, as you can then find a truck driving company after graduation without the need to seek tuition assistance or reimbursement.

Loan

If you cannot afford to pay for school out of pocket, you can apply for a personal loan from First Capital Federal Credit Union in York. On their website, click the “Apply for a Loan” link at the top of the page. Once there, click the “My Choice” loan option and fill out your application. Membership eligibility applies. Or you can also work with a school loan company to help you finance your school tuition.

Tuition Assistance

If you get hired by a trucking company prior to attending truck driving school, you may be able to have your new employer help you pay for school. You will likely need to sign a one year contract to be eligible for this type of program.

Tuition Forgiveness

When you are hired after graduating from truck driving school, you may qualify for tuition forgiveness or tuition reimbursement from many trucking companies.

Tuition Reduction

If you are unemployed or underemployed, you may qualify for state programs that can reduce or even eliminate your tuition to truck driving school. These programs are designed to help you get the training you need for your new career. Visit CareerLink PA to see if you qualify for this program.

This is an amazing school, with top notch instructors. During my time there, I learned from all of the instructors and they each had different things to teach and add to the training.
