For industries that rely on commercial drivers such as oil & gas, municipalities, utilities, and construction, the CDL driver shortage is no longer just an inconvenience. It is a full-blown crisis.
With CDL schools backlogged for months and hiring qualified drivers becoming harder than ever, companies are scrambling to find a way to get new drivers trained and on the road fast.
That’s exactly why Eclipse DOT’s CDL Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp is changing the game.
Instead of waiting months for a new driver to get a CDL through a third-party school, companies can train their own instructors in-house. This gives them full control over the process, faster turnaround times, and massive cost savings.
The result? No more CDL hiring bottlenecks. No more waiting on CDL schools. Just a scalable, in-house training system that keeps your business moving.

This is your chance to get your in-house CDL trainers certified and ready to build a training program that works specifically for your company’s needs. It’s hands-on, real-world, and taught by experts who live and breathe DOT.
The Problem: The CDL Shortage is Costing Companies Millions
Right now, businesses across the country are losing money every day due to the CDL driver shortage.
🚛 Unfilled driver positions leading to delayed projects and missed contracts
🚛 CDL schools overbooked, with wait times up to 6 months
🚛 Qualified drivers demanding higher pay, increasing operating costs
🚛 New federal regulations making it harder to onboard drivers quickly
For companies that rely on trucks, every unfilled CDL position equals lost revenue.
Instead of waiting for drivers to show up, the most successful companies are taking matters into their own hands by training their own CDL instructors and developing in-house driver training programs.

Real Results: How One Company Eliminated Their CDL Hiring Problem in 30 Days
A large utility company was struggling to hire enough CDL drivers to keep up with demand. They were spending thousands on third-party CDL schools, but long wait times and high dropout rates made it nearly impossible to fill driver positions.
After attending Eclipse DOT’s Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp, they:
✅ Certified two in-house CDL trainers
✅ Set up an internal training program to onboard new drivers in weeks instead of months
✅ Saved over $50,000 in CDL school tuition fees
✅ Eliminated their driver shortage within 30 days
“Before this, we were completely dependent on outside CDL schools,” their operations manager said. “Now, we have our own training system, and we never have to worry about driver shortages again.”
Why In-House CDL Training is the Future
The days of waiting on CDL schools and scrambling to hire qualified drivers are over. The companies that take control of their own driver training will be the ones that thrive.
🚛 Faster hiring = more projects completed
🚛 Lower training costs = higher profit margins
🚛 Better-trained drivers = reduced liability and fewer accidents
With federal regulations making CDL requirements stricter every year, having an in-house compliant training system is not just a competitive advantage. It is a necessity.
