I took the 2 month course...I started at the end of September and got my Class A in December. The instructors were awesome because I had never driven anything with a manual transmission let alone a Rig with a sleeper but I will never forget my instructor telling me that I was gonna be his best student cause I didn't have any bad habits and he was right. My two other classmates who were in my group on road days...who also had previous commercial driving experience were struggling to double shift and down shift properly. Only things I did not like about the school is that I feel like they force you to work for a certain trucking company in order to graduate fully from the school and the yard equipment and road trucks are really out dated. I spent all my road days and my night driving in 9(A) speed and then when it was time to take my state test I was put in a 10 speed so I was all screwed up when it was time to shift to 6th gear but it all worked out. Thank You TDDS!!!! Read Less

Anyone who complains about anything about this school didn't study or was standing around doing nothing. Every instructor from class room to hard to road were great. They help tremendously but it's up to you to figure it out! I passed with a 94 average. Like I said every single instructor was awesome. Thanks TDDS FOR changing my life. Read Less

Happy I got my cdl in 5 weeks, not happy with having a different instructor everyday during site/road days as they never personally knew you and what you struggled in manuverabilty and driving wise, DO expect to work for it and study, 2-3 tests per day for first 2 weeks in class, kudos to Paul & Frank , learned the most and explained things the best Read Less

I spent five weeks here from December through January of 2014-15. By February I was lucky enough to find a position with a Union shop and life isn't too bad. The training I received, the basics, was enough to get you safely behind the wheel; the rest is up to you. Pay attention in class and actually study when you go home. ;) The training equipment is junk. So what. You're only learning to backup. Get over it. They're not going to get brand new equipment for amateurs to tear up. They could tighten the mirrors so you can see better while backing (hint, hint). The training road trucks are fine. --------- Never settle for less than you're worth!! Read Less

The intructors are amazing very helpful and kind and more then willing to help u through anything u don't understand. But the administration will not put any money into the school the equipment and tools are junk and they have you working on equipment u will never see because it hasn't been used in a decade if they put some money into the school it would be the best Read Less

Been in school for 15 weeks and still haven't received our tools, tool boxes, laptops. Administration side of the school is awful. Still haven't received our Pell grant money. Not enough equipment for the 14 students in the class. Students show up late to school, come back late from lunch and leave early and don't get docked any points. Don't get told what your GPA is. School doesn't have enough tools in the garage for all of class to compete tasks. Training videos are from the 1980s, the parking lot has pot holes all over, lunch room is filthy, shop floods, everyone gets same grade if they just show up, lots of standing around. School only cares about getting your money and not about the education. The tool box that you pay for, can't hold the tools properly. It's a small 27 inch tool cart Read Less
