I have to be honest. It is a lot thrown at you at once. Long hours, studying constantly, nerve-wrecking and frustrating even......but.......that's part of the process to make you a better equipped and safer driver on the roads. These guys and ladies are awesome! This school was awesome! All you have to do is focus, listen to the instructors, and study. When you commit yourself like I did, then you will come out of here either with a huge smile on your face like I did, or crying from being overwhelmed at what you've learned and accomplished in 3 weeks(like I also did 🙄). My favoite instructor by far was Mick. But Also Greg and Mark stuck out with me as well. If you make the decision to go through this school believe me you are making the right choice Read Less

Very knowledgeable instructors. Very keen on seeing you graduate. Week two instructor Mic made my experience all the more better because of how dedicated he and all the staff are to seeing you succeed. Read Less

I had the best experience at TTDS louie was a great guy and he made sure you had what you needed. Right off the bat chris was very down to earth and did not care to help you with anything. Second week with sam and matt was a blast, both of them are down to earth and they talk you through everything, week three with robert,mike,drew. All 3 are worth taking the school. Had a blast thanks for helpijg me get started TTDS Read Less

Overall I would recommend your school to my friends and family. The instructors and administration were very helpful with everything I needed help with. They went beyond the call of duty to make sure I fully understood what was needed of me.... Read Less

Overall, the instructors are awesome. If you listen in class, pay attention and do what they tell you, you WILL get your CDL. I cannot say enough good things about certain ones on their staff. The director himself is a very cool guy, and more than willing to come out of the office and help you. They will share not only "classroom" knowledge, but give you good insight into what you can expect when you hit the real world of driving. The office staff are wonderful and helpful, they will work with you in difficult situations and in my opinion, they have gone above and beyond what you'd expect. On a side note, if you don't do well in a fast paced "cram" style environment, then it may not be your best bet. But they will work with you if you need extra time on something. Overall a great experience! Chris, Matt, Sam, Robert, Drew, Louis, Janet, Aaron.... Much luv to all you guys. I appreciate everything. POP-POP! Read Less

TTDS is a fast pace, challenging, information packed, and very organised school. Chris, Matt, Dominique, Robert, Dustin, Drew, and Mike are the best of the best. They explain things simply, thoroughly, and patiently enough that even the most novice driver can comprehend the concept of driving a big rig. These guys have nerves of steel, keeping the student's, the public, and themselves safe all while providing high quality instruction. They have the experience ...and knowledge of the trucks to train students at any level. I highly recommend TTDS to anyone wanting a good job, security, and good money. ONE AWSOME TEAM!!! Thanks for everything guys!!!! See more Read Less

From day one starting on June 5th I have had a great experience at Tennessee Truck Driving School. Starting with my first week in the class room Chris showed real concern on all the students passing and helped in every way to make sure the students was getting what he was teaching. He put real life stories to the questions he was asked and this realy helped us all. If any student wasn' t sure about the test he paired them up with another student to help quiz each other ...and it stuck in our heads better that way. On week two my instructors Matt and Dom taught in a way that was so easy to understand that we was able to do what was asked of us with ease. There was one student who was having trouble, and Matt and Dom went above and beyond to help that student. I was truly impressed with their act of selflessness. This student was by far the worst in the class, and in my opinion became close to being the best student, because of these two instructors, Now that's a damn good instructor. Without these instructors the whole class would have never made it to the third week. Week three my instructors Drew,Mike,Robert, and Dustin, have done a great job. Drew and Robert showed a much easier way for backing and parallel parking. To my surprise it made much better sense when they showed us how to do these obstacles. My driving instructor made me a better driver helping me get out of my own head and out of my own way, and learn a new job and a safe way of driving. He took the nerves out of it for me and showed me I could do this, when he could of just said no this isn't for you, l.o.l. I really do appreciate this. As long as I stay out of my own way I will have my CDL on friday 6/23/17. My instructors have given me all my training and done a hell of a job. I have said all this to say although it may not be my business or my place, I, Michael Blair feel strongly that our instructors should be rewarded for all their great jobs that they do, putting in 12-13 hours a day and volunteering to stay over to help any and all students, by way of a bonus. I just feel it would go along way for all the instructors that have done a great great job. THANKS Mike Blair. See more Read Less

Overall experience was good all of the instructors where knowledgeable and helpful. Chris my class room instructor for week one was knowledgeable and was great to work with. Matt and Dom week two skills instructors where awesome and helpful. Drew week three skills was awesome very helpful and was great in the way he explained things to make things easier to understand. Robert during week three was always available to help with anything I asked of him he has 20+ years experience in the trucking industry and really knows how to break things down and put it in to simple terms that anyone can understand and put you at ease. Mike was my road instructor and he did a very good job taking a people who never been in a truck before out on the road and teaching them the skills and techniques needed to succeed in the trucking industry. The only thing I really found any fault in was I had some questions pertaining to job placement and I had to going back asking about them when I was told they would get back to me on things I had asked them about that experience could have been better but overall I would still recommend them as a great way to get into the trucking industry with no upfront money out of pocket.

TTDS is a great school. Awesome friendly staff. Louie was super energetic right off the bat when we came in to talk to them. He was able to answer all our questions. The trainers are all very knowledgeable. They care about there students. You get out of it what you put into it. The key to success there is take the cotton out your ears and put it in your mouth. Listen to what they tell you, study, take it serious. They won't steer you wrong (No pun intended). It's all about s...afety first. The best part about it once you graduate and get your license, you don't have to worry about finding a job. They do job placement before you even start. So you are guaranteed a job as long as you do what your supposed to. And they got your back down the road if you ever need help finding a new company. I would recommend TTDS to anyone starting out there career or getting back into it. See more Read Less

The most intense training ever but well worth it. When you graduate you will know how to drive a tractor and trailer. All the instructors are excellent and they do know what they are teaching, most if not all have been over the road drivers themselves. Excellent school. Thank you to everyone there that helped me be successful. Read Less

Just wanted to say thanks again to Greg Dotson, Sean Henson, Frankie, Jim & Cliff for superior training and knowledge you guys passed along to me! Also big thanks to Barry, Stephanie, Jennifer & Jeff for your commitment to providing outstanding service to every student that walks through your doors! Thank you all!! Read Less

Extremely boring. Outdated equipment. Instructor turnover more than the tractor tires. There are much better places in the area to train for your CDL. In fact, their test questions are out of the TN guide you get at the DMV. Save your money and go someplace else. Read Less
