CDL Solutions for Employers: In-Depth Overview of In-House CDL Training Programs

 

CDL Solutions for Employers

​

What Is a CDL Solution?

A "CDL solution" refers to any system, service, or strategy designed to help individuals or employers train and certify commercial drivers to meet the requirements for a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). These solutions may include training programs, consulting services, curriculum materials, compliance support, and technology tools that streamline the process of becoming or producing a qualified, licensed commercial driver.

​

At CDL Solutions ND, our CDL solution is designed specifically for employers who want to build their own in-house training programs. Instead of outsourcing driver training to costly third-party schools, we help companies develop a self-sustaining CDL pipeline using their own staff, equipment, and resources. Our solutions are compliant with all FMCSA regulations, including the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) rule, and are tailored to fit your state’s unique requirements.

Whether you’re dealing with driver shortages, rising recruitment costs, or retention issues, our CDL solution empowers you to take control of your workforce development from the ground up.

 

Build Your Own CDL Training Program In-House

CDL Solutions ND helps employers take control of driver development by building customized, compliant, in-house CDL training programs. Whether you’re a carrier, construction company, municipality, or farm, we’ll help you stop relying on expensive third-party schools and start training qualified drivers yourself.

​

Why Employers Choose CDL Solutions

 

Save Time and Money

Sending employees to an outside driving school costs time and thousands of dollars per trainee. With CDL Solutions, you can train drivers on your own schedule using your own equipment.

​

Meet Federal ELDT Requirements

We ensure your program meets all Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) mandates set by the FMCSA, so your drivers are fully certified and compliant.

​

Reduce Turnover

Companies that train in-house tend to retain more drivers. Trainees who are invested in by their employer are more likely to stay loyal.

​

Gain Total Control Over Training Quality

You know your operation best. With our support, you’ll train drivers to meet your specific needs and safety standards.

Real Results from CDL Solutions

"We were spending over $8,000 per driver just to send them to a local school. With CDL Solutions, we cut that cost by more than 75% and now train on our own timeline." The best part is, the more students you train the cheaper it is per student.
