Why Truck Driver Institute?
Our certified truck driving school near Huntsville, AL pairs the latest trucking equipment with the most comprehensive training. Truck Driver Institute’s instructors are industry leaders who adapt our respected truck driving course material to personally reach and accommodate your learning style.
We pre-screen all of our students using guidelines from our partnering carriers to make sure that truck driving is truly the right career path and personal fit for them. That way, the student doesn’t waste their time and we don’t waste our resources by training them.
You come to us to earn a professional Class A CDL License, not to be a professional student. That’s why Truck Driver Institute helps you plan the next step in your career immediately after you enroll with us, so that you can walk out of our doors and onto a job. When you start our program, you’ll be assigned to a staff member who will work with you to determine which carriers meet your career goals.
At Truck Driver Institute, we’re proud to be the largest Class A CDL school East of the Rockies not controlled by any trucking company. Rather than being a carrier’s hiring mill masking as a truck driving school, Truck Driver Institute provides comprehensive training and uses the connections we’ve built over the last 47 years to place you with the carriers you choose, rather than pushing you in a specific direction.
Our school has an over 86% success rate in placing our graduates in the career they want. Most of our graduates receive a competitive job offer before they’ve completed our program – and are able to start their new career and start earning a steady paycheck.

Our Huntsville Truck Driving School Offers Class A and B CDL Training
Although we focus more on the Class A CDL here at TDI, we also offer training for the Class B CDL.
The Class A CDL allows you to drive everything up to and including a full size semi-truck. The standard 18 wheeler requires a Class A commercial drivers license. A Class B CDL allows you to drive a vehicle which can carry less than 10,000 pounds and has a single-axle trailer. This means Class B drivers can drive all kinds of busses, box trucks, deliver trucks, dump trucks, tilt beds, tour busses, passenger vans, and more!
A Class B CDL is restricted to the state in which it was issued, meaning you can’t drive between states to work long-haul jobs. On the other hand, it’s perfect for professionals who are seeking regional driving careers.
Our 15-day Intensive Class Has Three Sections:
Week 1: Classroom: You’ll begin learning the technical aspects of truck driving in our Tennessee truck driving school’s classrooms. Our instructors work with you until you’re confident in the written CDL permit’s subject matter, such as:
- Trip planning
- Recording your driver’s log
- Surveying maps
- Smith systems
- Weight scales legal requirements
- Cargo Claims
- Fundamental Mechanic Abilities
At the end of the week, you’ll have the chance to showcase what you’ve learned on the written CDL permit test.
Week 2: Hands-on Training: Now that you have your written CDL permit, you’ll begin your hands-on training. Under the guidance of an instructor, you’ll operate a full-sized 18-wheeler on our expansive off-road driving range, practicing straight line and offset backing. We’ll also make sure you’re capable of performing pre-trip inspections to assess the operational safety of your vehicle. As week two comes to a close, you’ll transition to driving on the road. We ease you into this next phase by introducing you to low-traffic driving scenarios.
Week 3: Advanced Skills, Testing, and Graduation: Now that you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to build on what you’ve learned and acquire advanced skills. You’ll be given a chance to hone your technique on both the driving range and highway. Additionally, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and confident operating your vehicle in the nighttime driving environment. Once you’ve added the highest difficulty skill sets to your driving repertoire, you’re ready to take your CDL Driving Skills Test-Highway/Street Testing. Truck Driver Institute’s certified truck driving school in Tennessee offers testing on-site. Once you’ve taken and passed your exams, you’ll graduate from Truck Driver Institute’s Hunstville area campus, and begin your career.
