Truck Driver Institute, Sanford | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I recently attended TDI to pursue my dreams of becoming an OTR driver. Charles was my instructor 1st. He is an amazing person with a ton of knowledge within the trucking world. He helped and guided us throughout the week we were with him. He set everyone up for success to obtain the CDL permit within the 1st week. Once I moved to week 2 and 3, there are some outstanding instructors that teach you real world skills such as alley dock both 45 and 90 degree. Straight line and offset backing as well. They will get you 100% ready to go for your DOT Test after you have finished the 3 week course. I took the test with full confidence in myself and passed on the 1st time. They also have representatives from trucking companies come to the school, provide lunch for everyone and tell you about the company. Melton is a flatbed company that came during my 2nd week. I liked what they had to say and put in my application. I am currently working for that company now. I highly recommend anyone looking to start a career in the trucking industry that you come check out TDI. I promise you will not be disappointed. Remember, you’re only going to get out what you put in. If you’re committed and willing to put in the work, the rewards at the end will be well worth it.

For those of you on the fence about which CDL school to attend around the Orlando area, look no further than Truck Driver Institute (TDI) of Sanford, FL. It was my only choice. I earned my CDL in THREE weeks!
I thought the fees were fair for how efficient the staff provides indoc, including each DMV experience.
Each driver-instructor brings a professional attitude to their work, and a unique blend of career experiences in control of 18 wheels. Many stories on the driving range, and inside modern Freightliners driving open roads in real time traffic!
And finally, what I thought was a great treat by TDI was by inviting Recruiters from some of the nation’s Mega-Carriers to the school (providing lunch), and accepting new-driver applications on the spot!
TDI was awesome. Be ready to learn and work. They will not let you fail!

This is the best school to go for truck driving school.. you’ll be blessed with the best chances of success if you can get Todd Senkel as your recruiter, Charles Mike, Tony, and Jake as your instructors. These people care the most and are only focused on your success in passing your tests and being the best version of yourself. They say success is measured by your own effort but having instructors and teachers like these helps you tremendously where if you fail it truly is your fault. These people want you to pass, and every dollar spent in the tuition was worth it. I highly recommend this school over all others.
