LaBelle, FL – December 12, 2024:
SunState CDL, a leading provider of commercial driver’s license (CDL) training in Florida, has launched weekend programs designed to accommodate part-time professionals and individuals with busy weekday schedules. This innovative initiative reflects the institution's commitment to increasing accessibility for aspiring commercial drivers while addressing the growing need for skilled professionals in the trucking industry.

The demand for commercial truck drivers is very high, with the American Trucking Associations (ATA) reporting a shortage of over 80,000 drivers in 2023. Florida, a critical hub for the nation’s transportation and logistics network, is feeling the effects of this shortage. SunState CDL’s weekend programs aim to bridge this gap by offering flexible training options to individuals balancing other work or personal commitments.

A spokesperson for SunState CDL shared, “We recognize that many talented individuals aspire to join the trucking industry but face challenges in attending traditional weekday training programs. Our weekend courses are designed to eliminate these barriers, offering a convenient path for part-time professionals to achieve their CDL and launch a fulfilling career.”

The weekend programs maintain the same rigorous standards as SunState CDL’s weekday curriculum, providing students with comprehensive training, hands-on driving experience, and a focus on safe driving practices. Students will benefit from smaller class sizes, personalized coaching, and access to modern facilities that replicate real-world conditions. These features ensure participants are well-prepared to meet the challenges of the road and excel in their careers.

SunState CDL’s new initiative also supports students beyond the classroom, offering robust job placement assistance through partnerships with local trucking companies and logistics firms. By connecting graduates with potential employers, the institution provides a seamless transition from training to employment, contributing to both individual success and the broader economic needs of Florida.
The launch of weekend programs represents a significant step in SunState CDL’s mission to equip aspiring commercial drivers with the skills and confidence needed to succeed. This effort highlights the training facility’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of its students and the transportation industry.
