www.drivebigtrucks.com Class A CDL Training in 3 weeks! Call to find out more! 800-349-7364

Truck Driver Institute is a full service Class A Commercial Drivers License school operating 12 campuses in 8 states. TDI provides classroom, driving range and road instruction, CDL examination (where allowed) and full time job placement services. We train men, women, couples and teams in all the skills they need to drive big rigs and get employed by one of the twenty plus national trucking companies with which we work.

Not all CDL schools are the same — and after a layoff, the difference can cost you months.

A mill packs students around a truck and rushes you through. Some lean on simulators.

We don't. You train 100% hands-on, and in weeks 2 and 3 we hold a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio per truck. You actually drive.

The result: over 80% job placement, with top carriers visiting campus to hire. Once you're hired, many carriers pay $150–$250 a month toward your tuition — with the employer you chose, not one we assigned you.

Three weeks. A real skill. Work that's actually there.

In three weeks, your whole life could look different.

Day one: you walk onto a real off-road range. No experience, just ready.
Day fifteen: you're a Class A CDL holder with real hands-on hours behind you.

While everyone else is heading back to school, you could be heading to work — over 80% of our students get placed, many with offers before graduation.

New classes start weekly. Your first day is closer than you think.

No simulators. Never have, never will. If you're going to drive a real truck for a living, you should learn on one.

09/29/2026

Laid off and staring down another stack of applications that go nowhere? You're not alone.

The fear most people have about starting over: "I don't have months to retrain, and I can't afford it."

Our Class A CDL program runs three weeks — 15 training days. Not months. Top carrier partners come to campus to hire, and many students have offers before graduation.

Summer's not over. Neither is your shot at a fresh start.

We could tell you what training here is like. We'd rather let our students do it.

No simulator. No waiting your turn behind fifteen other people. A real truck, a real range, and an instructor who's actually driven for a living.

That's week one. Come find out what week three feels like.

🇺🇸 From military service to a new career behind the wheel. 🚛

After getting out of the military in January, Trenton Thomas saw a TDI post on Facebook and decided to make the call. Johnny Meads answered at our Milton campus—and from there, Trenton says the entire process was incredibly smooth.

As a veteran, Trenton was able to use his GI Bill® benefits toward his CDL training and get started on his next chapter.

And if you've never been behind the wheel of a big truck before? Trenton says that's no problem.

TDI's instructors work with you from the ground up—helping you get comfortable in the truck, build confidence, and most importantly, learn how to safely handle yourself behind the wheel.

Tomorrow, Trenton takes his CDL test! During his training, he's also had the opportunity to meet with numerous carriers who visited the Milton campus, giving him options when it comes to choosing where he wants to start his driving career.

Trenton gave a special thank-you to Johnny and Sherry for helping him through the process—and says he would absolutely recommend TDI to other military veterans looking for their next career.

🇺🇸 Thank you for your service, Trenton. Now let's get that CDL! 🚛💪

A second chance can change everything. 🚛

Zachary Stavrakis came to TDI Milton determined to build a different future for himself. After serving time in prison and later making the decision to pursue sobriety and turn his life around, Zach took another big step forward: earning his Class A CDL at TDI.

His past made finding the right opportunity more difficult, and some of the larger trucking companies weren't an option. But Zach kept going—and he was able to find the opportunity he needed with Nobl Sitework.

Zach started behind the wheel of a dump truck, proved himself, and continued working his way up. He became a lead operator, and today supervises the company's drivers—helping lead at a multimillion-dollar company.

As Zach says in the video, “TDI turned my life around because they gave me the opportunity nobody else would with my past. They took me in as part of their family and gave me the tools and knowledge to drive a truck.”

Stories like Zach's are why we do what we do. At TDI, we believe your past doesn't have to define your future. We've helped people from all walks of life earn their CDL, find employers willing to give them an opportunity, and build careers they can be proud of.

We’re incredibly proud of how far Zach has come—and grateful to companies like Nobl Sitework that recognize what someone can accomplish when they're given a chance.

Ready to start your own next chapter? Contact TDI today at (800) 848-7364 to see where your CDL can take you. 🚛

"I can't afford to start over."

You can get started with Class A CDL training for as little as $225 out of pocket.

Three weeks — 15 training days. Then over 80% of our graduates are placed, with carriers coming to campus to hire.

The money isn't the wall you think it is. Ask us what your number looks like.

Most CDL schools run cohorts. You wait for the next class to fill, then you wait for it to start. Weeks go by.

We start a new class every single week. Call on Friday, you're in class Monday.

If you're ready now, you shouldn't have to wait until October to begin.
