Review & Rating
No one plans a career change at the age of 53 but it happened to me. I left a job of 15 1/2 years. I just graduated from TDI on Friday and tomorrow I fly to Dallas, TX to begin my new career. TDI was amazing. I had never driven a "big rig" before I started classes but within three weeks I could not only drive an 18-wheeler but I can parallel park it from the driver's side and the blind side (passenger side), Alley dock, left off-set parking, and right off-set parking. In three weeks I went from knowing absolutely nothing about a tracker-trailer rig to being able to point out and describe every important part of the rig. Dana Funderburk, recruiter, was incredibly helpful and encouraging as I started this journey. She totally believed in me to succeed and I did! The instructors were so knowledgable about everything to do with driving a truck. Ronnie, Vic, Gary, and John are all excellent in their areas of training. Each instructor has his own way of teaching you the techniques you need to be a successful driver. Each day of training laid the foundation for the next day. If you are looking to begin a career in truck driving TDI should be your first and only choice. I will be forever grateful for my training and the friends I made at TDI.
T.D.I. will no doubt give you all the training you need in 15 days to pass your CDL exam. The instructors are knowledgeable and if you do what they instruct you to do you will be driving big trucks efficiently in no time. From the front end (office staff) to the back end (driver trainers) T.D.I. is a world class organization. I owe my start in my new career to T.D.I. Completely satisfied with the experience.
My time at TDI was great, if you pay attention, study and work hard at it you should be great, Dana was great with getting me in the door, the trainers,Vic, Ricky, David, Keith, John, and Gary were all extravagant with their teaching, got my CDL in 3 weeks, and on to start my new career, Great atmosphere, great people.
Had a good Time. If you study hard the instructors will fill in the blanks and you'll have your CDL in no time. Awesome trainers and staff also.
I graduated Friday June 16, 2017. This is an awsome training facility. The staff is very hands on. My recruiter Joe did everything in his power to get me recruited and made sure I understood everything about the program. Week 1: (Classroom) Mr. Vic & Mr. Ronnie made damn sure my classmates were ready to test for their AP's (I had mines coming in). Week 2: (Backing Range) Mr. Jon, Mr. Gary, Mr. Ronnie, Mr. Vic all combined and shared their experience on how to perform these maneuvers. If u listen, pay attention & memorize the steps of the maneuvers you will have no problem backing up. They even throw a little road driving in there in week 2 also. Week 3: (Backing Range & Road Driving) It's pretty much self explanatory, you will be trying to continue to perfect backing up. Now on to the road. Mr. Ronnie was the 1st instructor I went out with, he's very laid back and patient with you, outstanding since of humor. He will have you double clutching in no time flat. Next was Mr. Gary, one word explains him "Terrific", he makes sure you understand everything that is expected of you when you're out driving. The whole staff is great, so in conclusion Mr. Joe, Mr. David(Director), Mrs. Theresa(Office Mgr), Mr. Vic, Ronnie, Jon, & Gary I want to say THANK YOU
This is a great school if you're looking to get your CDL and start a new career. From the start Dana, my recruiter, was fantastic! She helped me get all the information and paperwork together that I needed to attend the school. She stayed in contact and made sure I was prepared on my first day including giving me links to start applying for a position as a driver before I even started school. This put me ahead of the game. By the time I graduated I had several opportunities to choose from. The instructors were top notch. They all gave clear and precise instructions in the class, on the range and on the real time road driving exercises. They were very knowledgeable and spoke from their own driving experiences. They made sure to give us everything we needed to succeed. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking at the trucking industry as a new career. Upon graduation you will be prepared to succeed!
I had an awesome experience with TDI. Dana worked very hard and was instrumental in much success with this program. The instructors are really hands on and they make sure that you get it. Its up to you to make sure that youre paying attention because they cannot get your license for you. they prepare you and set you up for success. thank you Dana, David,Ricky, and Kieth for everything!
Within my 3 weeks of training none of my time was wasted. I got all the attention and help I needed from my instructors. I had a great and fun learning experience while I was out there. They prepared me for my test thoroughly and I passed everything my first time. If you don’t G.O.A.L ( get out and look) it’s your fault you failed because they make it easy for you.
Everyone at this school was great. I got the training I need within the three weeks. I had never stepped foot in a tractor trailer or a manual transmission anything. Keith took me on the road and I learned the gears within three days and now I love driving a manual transmission vehicle. John and Garry helped out on the range and now I can hit every maneuver with no issues. The office staff helps out with any and everything you need before and after you’re finished with the school. Dana was my recruiter, she is a blessing with her help she got my paperwork work in and out within a week so and my funding was complete and ready for me to start. Everybody at this school is a major asset to it and if they change anything about it or them it would probably be a mistake. Theresa was kind of the last office staff I worked with, she do so much in the background that we never imagined but she never once missed a beat. I would recommend this school to anybody, if you come in with the drive and with the right attitude you will be where you need to be within those three weeks. I promise.
wonderful school i went their ms.dana was really doing her best to get me into the school because of my driving record wasn't that great she is a great woman do anything to help you, the instructors was hard on me only because they knew i could do it & i did it thanks {TDI} without you i wouldn't be where i am now
