Seward Motor Freight is a trucking company that transports freight throughout the Midwest, South, Southeast, and East Coast. It has grown considerably since its beginning in the 1940s. As a part of its commitment to the industry, Seward Motor Freight is always looking to attract and recruit prospective drivers. The trucking industry provides many opportunities for those interested in traveling the country, once a person has received the appropriate license.

The license required to drive a truck is called a CDL, or commercial driver’s license. This type of license covers a number of areas depending on the type of vehicle driven. Before applying, read the guidelines (which can be found online or at the testing site) to get information related to minimum age and physical requirements. The actual license is earned after passing a written exam, which varies by state. Prospective truck drivers can also receive specialized certifications such as Hazmat, but some of these endorsements might require a background check. Finally, the applicant must submit to a driving skills exam.

For applicants who have no or little experience driving trucks, a CDL school can be a much easier way to get licensed. Driving a semi can be very difficult for those unfamiliar with maneuvering a vehicle of that size. However, a CDL class can provide prospective truckers with hands-on skills needed to pass the skills test.
