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.

🚛 Giving the next generation a firsthand look at a career in trucking!

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming juniors and seniors from Oxford High School's CREATE program to our TDI Oxford campus!

CREATE connects the classroom to the workplace, helping students gain real-world experience and explore future careers.

During their visit, students got an up-close look at the trucking industry, climbed inside our big rigs, toured our campus, and learned what it takes to become a professional truck driver!

💡 **Here's something you might not know:** In Alabama, you can earn your Class A CDL at just 18 years old! While drivers under 21 are limited to driving within state lines, it's a great opportunity for young adults to get a head start on a rewarding career.

At TDI, we love seeing younger generations take an interest in the skilled trades and discover that there are great career opportunities waiting for them right out of high school.

A huge THANK YOU to Oxford High School and the CREATE program for bringing these students out! We're proud to help introduce the next generation to an industry that keeps America moving! 🇺🇸

📞 Interested in learning more about earning your Class A CDL? Call Neil & Malissa at (256) 831-8155!

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

🚛 2.5 YEARS LATER — AND STILL LOVING HIS CAREER!

When you attend TDI, you become family. We love when past grads visit us at TDI Oxford like former graduate Ja'kobie Arreguin who stopped by last week!

Ja'kobie graduated from TDI about 2.5 years ago, earned his Class A CDL, and with TDI’s help, landed a local driving job with Buffalo Rock delivering beverages. Today, he’s still there, loves working for Buffalo Rock, and is happy he chose TDI for his CDL training! 🙌

Stories like Ja'kobie's are exactly why we do what we do. A Class A CDL can open the door to so many different career paths—including opportunities that can keep you close to home.

Ready to make a change? You could start working toward your new career as early as MONDAY!

📞 Call Neil today at (256) 831-8155 to get started with TDI Oxford!

🚛 At TDI Oxford, earning your CDL is just the beginning — we want to help you turn it into a career you’re excited about!

We work with numerous trucking carriers to connect our students with opportunities that fit their goals, including great-paying positions and different types of routes. Carrier recruiters regularly visit our campus to meet students face-to-face, answer questions, and help them understand all the paths available once they earn their CDL.

Recently, Chris with Schneider stopped by TDI Oxford to talk with our students about opportunities, including local driving positions and a dedicated route with Coca-Cola.

These visits give our students the chance to start making connections and thinking about where they want their new career to take them — before they even graduate!

Your CDL can open a lot of doors. Let TDI help you find the right one. 💪🚛
📞 October classes are filling up quickly! Call Neil at TDI Oxford today at (256) 831-8155 to get started.

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.

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. 🚛

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