Back to the Top What is PTDI? PTDI stands for the Professional Truck Driver Institute and is an organization that approves truck driver training program curriculum to assure quality training.

With TDA placement assistance, students have obtained jobs in the local market, regional and over the road, with union, corporate, small and large companies. Back to the Top Will there be driving job opportunities for me if I have a felony conviction in my past? Several graduates of Truck Driving Academy have felony convictions in their background and have obtained driving jobs after graduation. In 1997 and 1998, 22 of 25 students who disclosed previous criminal background obtained jobs. Back to the Top Why is your program longer than most other schools? The Truck Driver Training program offered at all TDA campuses is designed to provide students with an education. Students will learn about the trucking industry, the equipment, safety, the state and federal laws, map reading, trip planning and accurate log book completion, as well as, safely operating the tractor-trailer, vehicle inspection, hooking up, doubles, and backing skills. Our goal is for our graduates to be successful on-the-job. This is not just training to get the CDL license. Back to the Top What are the requirements for obtaining a Commercial Drivers License? Minimum age is 18, must pass the physical exam, sign a DMV Application for a Driver's License, submit a document verifying your social security number, submit your birth certificate, if applicable, have no outstanding violations in another state, surrender all out-of-state drivers licenses, pay applicable fees for license and endorsements and pass the written tests, vehicle inspection, skill tests and driving tests given by a State DMV examiner.
