In the near future, the Teamsters National
Education and Training Fund will offer regional training programs. In the
meantime, we can direct you to alternative resources to earn a Commercial
Drivers License (CDL). A CDL is a requirement for obtaining a union position
with a major or local freight carrier covered under the National Master Freight
Agreement.
The Professional Truck
Driving Institute (PTDI) is our training provider of choice. Their training
program is the model for the development of our own National Training Program.
The Teamsters have participated in PDTI and our local union Teamsters driving
programs are certified by this organization. The Teamsters have also been
involved in the development of
PTDI's training standards and we have Teamster trainers who sit on their
Board of Directors. PDTI has
programs in most states and Canada.
For those Teamster members looking to upgrade their skills
there are programs available through many local unions to acquire CDL training.
To participate in these programs you must be a current Teamster member in good
standing.
