If you are looking for a steady job that offers variety with daily responsibilities, look into Class B CDL jobs. Professional drivers are always in need.<\/p>\n<p>Driving Academy is a truck driving school based in Linden, New Jersey, that offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdldrivingacademy.com\/truck-driver-testing-training\/\">CDL driver training<\/a>\u00a0to students nationwide. Here, we discuss the types of jobs available to someone who has a Class B CDL.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Obtain a Class B CDL<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdldrivingacademy.com\/truck-driver-testing-training\/cdl-driver-training\/cdl-class-b\/\">Class B commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL)<\/a>\u00a0training\u00a0teaches a driver to operate a commercial truck with an attached cab and cargo area with a weight of more than 26,000 pounds. A Class B CDL also allows drivers to operate a detached towed cargo vehicle that weighs less than 10,000 pounds. A Class B CDL is common for box truck and delivery truck drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Driving Academy also offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdldrivingacademy.com\/truck-driver-testing-training\/cdl-driver-training\/cdl-class-b-p\/\">Class B+P CDL<\/a>\u00a0training\u00a0for those interested in driving a bus. A Class B+P CDL is designed for driving a vehicle that weighs more than 26,000 pounds and has a carrier with 16 or more passengers, like a passenger or school bus. Once you have a CDL Class B+P license, you can also drive any other Class B vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Once the CDL courses are complete, the student needs to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdldrivingacademy.com\/truck-driver-testing-training\/cdl-road-testing\/\">CDL road test<\/a>, which includes three parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pre-Trip inspection:<\/strong>This portion takes one hour. The student inspects the inside and outside of the truck to ensure everything is in working order and safe for driving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parking skills: <\/strong>In this portion, students must show that they can park the truck up to six different ways, including parallel parking and backing up to a dock. This could take one hour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Road driving:<\/strong>The student is tested on their ability to operate the truck safely in all kinds of situations. This takes about 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Driving Academy offers on-site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdldrivingacademy.com\/truck-driver-testing-training\/cdl-road-testing\/\">CDL road testing<\/a>\u00a0at our Levittown, Pennsylvania, site. Our instructors are also certified to give a CDL road test, so we know what it takes for you to pass. After the student passes their CDL road test, they\u2019re ready to hit the road as a professional truck driver.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Jobs That Require a Class B CDL<\/h2>\n<p>A Class B CDL is needed to operate box trucks and buses. Other vehicles that need a Class B CDL to operate are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cement trucks<\/li>\n<li>Delivery trucks<\/li>\n<li>Dump trucks<\/li>\n<li>Garbage trucks<\/li>\n<li>Mail carriers<\/li>\n<li>Public transit buses<\/li>\n<li>School buses<\/li>\n<li>Tour buses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some projections say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/transportation-and-material-moving\/delivery-truck-drivers-and-driver-sales-workers.htm\">the need for Class B CDL drivers will increase by 10%<\/a>\u00a0over the next eight years. That means the need for drivers will keep rising in this growing industry. The rise has to do with increasing numbers of online orders and the demand for box truck drivers to deliver these goods.<\/p>\n<h2>Get a Passenger Endorsement<\/h2>\n<p>After someone earns their Class B CDL, they\u2019ll be able to operate many types of trucks and vehicles. To open the door to more opportunities, a driver can choose to earn different endorsements on their license. Endorsements allow drivers to haul different materials, like hazardous chemicals, or drive special vehicles, like school buses. Endorsements a Class B driver can earn include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>H: <\/b><\/strong>Hazardous materials<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>P: <\/b><\/strong>Passenger transport<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>S: <\/b><\/strong>School bus\/ passenger transport<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>T: <\/b><\/strong>Tank vehicle<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>X: <\/b><\/strong>Tanker and hazardous materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To earn one of these endorsements, a written examination is needed. In some cases, a road skills test may be needed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmvusa.com\/\">Check with your local DMV<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose Driving Academy to Earn a Class B CDL<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a career that offers variety and security, Driving Academy offers students in and around Linden, New Jersey, the opportunity for a rewarding career out on the open road.
