Attended back in 1995 and was great place to learn. Probably changed a lot since then but I definatly learned a lot from them.

Copied and pasted from the investigation letter I'm sending to the US Dept of Ed: I go to Diesel Driving Academy in Little Rock, AR. Their corporate headquarters is at 3523 Greenwood Rd, Shreveport, LA 71109. It's an independent school that's not run under any trucking company which is why I chose to attend. I started school in LR in September 2015. About a month after I started the school was taken over by a trucking company called Stevens Transport. At that time my classmates and I were told that their students take precedence over us. Today for example DDA has 25 students and use 2 trucks Steven's has 12 students and use 3 trucks. So that's 5 trucks out of 10-12. The rest are broken down. I have spoken with Michael in the HR dept. at the corporate school and nothing's being done about my education. The first time I called corporate to complain about my education to Michael he called Jason who's the director of our LR DDA and Jason harassed me about calling and complaining. Because of this harassment I would like to remain anonymous related to correspondence to DDA until February 15, 2016. By then I should be graduated so it wouldn't further affect my education. I cannot understand how they are eligible to offer federal aid to their students because it's a scam to get student's aid money while not providing the education their supposed to. I would like an investigation into the amount of money I borrowed to be able to attend this school. Because they already have it I can't quit even though I'm getting nowhere. I'm wasting my time so I feel they have wasted my money. For the first month all we did was study for the written exam to get the CDL permit. We took a lot of tests that were similar to what was on our permit written test. However, that was the easy part. Now the hard part is getting trained to actually drive a CMV. For the last two weeks we've done nothing in the morning for 2 hours but sit around, then maybe get to drive once a day for 20-30 min if we're lucky twice a day. I don't think that I will be properly trained to pass the driving part of my exam in January which is what I paid to go to school here for. I could have gotten a cdl book, studied on my own and passed the permit test without DDA. I came to DDA because there's no other way to get trained to actually drive a CMV. That's what I need from DDA which they're not providing. Read Less

"Because of Diesel Driving Academy's commercials running constantly on the .. 4-6 channels depending on weather and which way we turned the antennae with channel locks, this commercial was a 'driving' influence on my development. Constantly drawn to truckers and their big rigs, the rumble of neighboring trucks at rest stop lulled me to sleep frequently. I finally found my soul mate and we're in it fer the long haul. He drives a truck. He has a job my friend!" Thank YOU DDA! Read Less
