If your google search history has “vocational training near me,” we’ve got the answer for you. In the face of a national trucker shortage, truck driving may just be your next move for a lucrative career switch. Truck Driver Institute has been one of the leading, most-respected providers of CDL training for more than 47 years. With more than 10 convenient locations across the country, you’ll be sure to find a local CDL training school close by. 

Where Can I Find Vocational Training Near Me?

Each of our locations offers lodging for out-of-town students. We aim to make your truck driving education as convenient and accessible as possible. At each location, you’ll find a spacious campus with modern facilities and seasoned instructors. 

Our CDL training school differs from other training schools, and these differences are to your benefit! Unlike TDI, some truck driving schools will limit your education to inside the classroom. Learning through video games or without on-the-road training is not as effective for many reasons. Truck driving is a hands-on profession, so behind-the-wheel training is essential to your success. Other trucking schools might put speed and convenience over quality education. For the best CDL training, check out the 10 campuses we offer.
