Job Placement
Camino Real established itself in an industry that is vast and open
for employment. We help over 100 to 200 graduates annually
transitioned into Long Haul and Local jobs. Most of the industries
we serve accept student driver and or experienced drivers.
Although requirements may stress experience, our graduates
are able to use actual training miles as driving miles, which
compensates for road experience. The commercial industry is
wide open with high a turnover rate and equally high re-employment
rate.
The Long Haul Industry
Driving long distance will give new drivers considerable experience,
which is widely asked for by most local employers. Long Haul
driving consists of hauling freight and materials from coast
to coast, Canada and Mexico. Long haul drivers are paid by
the mile verses by the hour; therefore the more miles driven,
the higher the wages.

OTR (Over the Road) experience is not only valuable; it also increases
driving skills in all types of weather and road conditions. Local
driving cannot provide these skills. OTR driving not only enhances
an individual's employability locally, it also presents assurance
of safe driving practices and timely deliveries.
The Local Industry
Local driving is the preference of many new commercial drivers,
due to the convenience of being home every day and the need to be
close to family. This great demand by new drivers to work locally
versus long haul has generated enormous competition. Local positions
although available for inexperienced drivers, lessens the opportunities
and decrease the pay scale by 10%. It also raises the hiring requirements,
making it more difficult for new drivers to land the perfect local
job.
