Few professions offer the freedom and sense of pride you\u2019ll find with truck driving. Being able to go out on the open road and knowing your hard work helps bring much-needed products to consumers is a satisfying career. However, some drivers want to further their careers and explore new opportunities. That\u2019s why many choose to open their own truck driving school, to pass on their knowledge to new drivers. Mississippi is a great state to run a commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) training school.<\/p>\n
At Driving Academy, we can help those who have driving experience take the next step in their careers by starting a CDL school franchise<\/a>\u00a0in Mississippi.<\/p>\n The ongoing national shortage of trained CDL drivers has contributed to an increase in demand and in driver pay. Between that and the general stability of the profession, you\u2019ll have an easy time pitching class openings to new students.<\/p>\n Another reason to open your own school is that a February 2022 law requires CDL driver training from a certified provider<\/a>\u00a0for those interested in getting their commercial driver\u2019s license. This means aspiring truck drivers will need to turn to specific schools like Driving Academy to obtain their licenses.<\/p>\n Driving Academy offers franchising options<\/a>\u00a0for qualified candidates. To start a school, you\u2019ll first need to apply. Fill out the form on our franchise page. This will provide our team with the details we need to get the process started. You\u2019ll then receive a call from a member of our franchise advisor team, who can answer any questions, address concerns, and make sure you qualify.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve been accepted, you\u2019ll take our training program to learn everything you\u2019ll need to run a successful Driving Academy franchise. Training will contain a mix of in-person learning at our franchise headquarters<\/a>\u00a0in Linden, NJ, and online learning from your own home. We have locations in Florida, Indiana, New Jersey, and Oregon, and we\u2019re providing opportunities to open new sites nationwide.<\/p>\n It’s important to note that those looking to open Driving Academy franchises don\u2019t need to hold their own CDL. However, someone with a CDL must be your head instructor, ensuring your students get the quality training they need from a qualified teacher.<\/p>\n You can also open one of our truck driving schools even if you already own a trucking company. This can be helpful because you\u2019ll already have a fleet of trucks, a yard location, and an experienced team behind you.<\/p>\n There are several reasons Mississippi is a prime spot for a new trucking school:<\/p>\n Mississippi\u2019s location gives it specific advantages when it comes to the trucking industry. First, it\u2019s situated near New Orleans, which sits at the mouth of the Mississippi River, allowing goods to make their way across the country. Second, Mississippi features a coastline on the Gulf of Mexico, giving it its own port and access to cargo from around the world. These goods need to be transported to and from the country, meaning trucking is especially vital.<\/p>\n While there is overall a shortage of truck drivers, Mississippi especially requires qualified candidates. Throughout the state, more than 85% of the communities need trucks to deliver goods<\/a>, meaning truckers are relied upon every day. This is why one out of every 12 jobs in Mississippi is related to the trucking industry. Because of this, trucking jobs are in demand, meaning you will find plenty of students for your truck driving school.<\/p>\n With great pay, special benefits, and the free lifestyle that the profession comes with, you can trust you\u2019ll find motivated individuals ready for the comprehensive training programs a Driving Academy franchise can provide.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in starting your own trucking school, you need help from the experts. At Driving Academy, our team is committed to helping you make your school a success. You\u2019ll benefit from our experience and support. We have a teaching system already in place, helping you learn how best to approach your curriculum. This will help ensure students learn the ins and outs of the profession and are ready for the road. Our programs help students get Class A CDLs<\/a>, Class B CDLs<\/a>, and Class B CDLs with a Passenger endorsement<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you are an experienced driver looking to make a career change, starting your own truck driving school in Mississippi is a great choice. At Driving Academy, our team can help you learn all you need to know, and we provide franchising opportunities throughout the country.
