GDA was the first private nationally accredited CDL training school in the state of Georgia & provides high quality training for tractor trailers and buses

Most of what keeps our towns running shows up on the back of a truck.

The medicine at your local hospital, the fuel at the gas station down the street, the lumber at the hardware store, and the supplies in your child's classroom. Truck drivers bring all of it, often before most of us are awake.

Across Georgia, from Conyers to Columbus to Augusta, professional drivers help keep daily life moving. We are proud to train the people who do that work.

The clocks fell back this past weekend, which means many of us are now driving home in the
dark. Here are three simple tips from a truck driver to stay safe around trucks at night:

• Dim your high beams when you come up behind a truck
• Don't linger beside a truck
• Leave extra space before you merge
• Be prepared to encounter wildlife on the road

Road safety is a team sport; play your part, day or night!

Do you have to finish a training program before taking your CDL skills test? Yes!

Federal ELDT rules require first-time Class A and Class B drivers to complete training with a registered provider before testing.

The same rule applies to drivers upgrading from Class B to Class A and drivers adding a hazmat, passenger, or school bus endorsement for the first time.

Have questions about ELDT? You can read our full breakdown here:

A Class A CDL is the license most long-haul and regional trucking jobs ask for. Our 160-hour Class A program is built to get you there.

Training starts in the classroom, where students learn safety rules, hours of service, and trip planning. From there, they move to the range to practice backing and coupling, then they get out on the roads for street driving. Students train in small groups so they get personal instruction. Class A training sessions have openings at our Conyers, Columbus, and Augusta campuses.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Georgia Driving Academy!

Tonight, more kids will be out walking than on almost any other day of the year, so we're reminding drivers to slow down in neighborhoods, watch for small walkers in dark costumes, and take extra care all day. We wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween!

What's the difference between automatic and manual truck transmissions?

Manual Transmission:
- Requires the driver to shift gears using a clutch, giving them full control over how the truck accelerates, slows down, and handles different loads or terrain.

Automatic Transmission:
- Shifts gears on its own, letting the driver focus more on the road and less on gear changes.

Both are used across the trucking industry, and understanding how each one works helps new drivers know what they want in their training and future career.

The H endorsement allows CDL holders to pursue careers hauling hazardous materials. These positions often pay more and offer more desirable routes.

Our next H endorsement training session starts tomorrow at our Conyers, GA campus; reach out and see if you can get a spot!

Almost everything on grocery store shelves arrives there by truck. Fresh produce, dairy, meat, and packaged goods all travel through a supply chain that depends on truck drivers showing up, day after day, in all kinds of weather.

Without truckers, shelves would be empty. The next time you're at the store, take a bit of time to think about the drivers who made that trip possible.
