Fixing CDL Training from the Inside – A Conversation with CDL Shorty | The Long Haul

May 28, 2025

#trucking #logistics #news

This week on The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Avante Jackson—better known as CDL Shorty on YouTube—to talk about what’s broken in CDL training and what needs to change. As a CDL instructor and content creator, Shorty gives a raw, behind-the-scenes look at how new drivers are being rushed through the system, the lack of real-world prep, and how better training could improve safety, retention, and long-term success. If you’re thinking about getting a CDL or training others, this episode brings the honest perspective the industry needs.
