Earn Money by 18-Wheeler Instructor

One of the highest paying jobs available to high school dropouts is driving an 18-wheeler, and in order for them to get a job like that, they have to pass a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) exam. All you need to train people for their CDL exam is an old 18-wheeler tractor and trailer. You'll have them practice backing and turning and going through obstacles. Eventually, when they're more comfortable, you'll take them on the road and give them some real driving time. It's not hard to drive an 18-wheeler; it just takes some getting used to. But here's the amazing part people routinely pay $3,000 - $4,000 for about 6 weeks of CDL training, with average class sizes of about 8-12. In other words, if you've got the facility, and some old trucks, you could be making nearly $100,000 every 3 months! And your goal is NOT to make these students understand EVERYTHING about driving a big rig. Your job is to get them to pass their CDL exam. The trucking companies that they go to work for will send them through an extensive training period, but they can't get there unless they possess their CDL license. Most of the students who go through CDL training are in the lower income brackets, so price is an important factor to them. If you're willing to undercut your competiton and offer favorable terms, you'll probably be able to get all the business you want!
