Truck Driver, TDI, and the Future You
Truck driving has always been a recession-proof career regardless of the day, month, year, or decade. One of the critical indicators of a recession is when personal consumption expenditure increases for the national average. This means that the more people buy goods or treat themselves to something, the more likely a recession will be. But which industry benefits from more economic consumption and expenditure? The transportation and truck driving industry! The more money spent, the more goods transferred nationwide–meaning truck driving jobs will always be safe during a recession.

Hendersonville to TDI: The Commuter’s Guide
Your journey to career transformation couldn’t be more straightforward:
- Merge onto Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR 386) heading south
- Connect with I-65 South toward Nashville
- Continue to I-24 East near downtown Nashville
- Watch for Exit 81A (TN-266/Sam Ridley Parkway)
- Follow local signage to Epps Mill Road
- Arrive at 6201 Epps Mill Road, Christiana, TN 37037
Early coffee in Hendersonville? You’ll still reach our campus refreshed and ready, after a quick 60-minute drive. Many students carpool, transforming the daily commute into a valuable professional networking opportunity.
So you can get a better idea for how things work around here, here’s a quick breakdown of our 3 week training program:
Week 1
The first week involves the majority of your classroom time, and it’s centered around getting your CDL permit. The CDL permit is a necessary piece of documentation for your behind-the-wheel training later on.
In addition, this first week acts like a primer for all the required non-driving skills you need as a truck driver. Our students learn the ins-and-outs of trip planning, cargo claims, maintenance basics, writing driver’s logs, map inspection, weight scales, Smith systems, and more.
The first week of truck driving school is also when you’re introduced to our placement experts. Depending on your career goals, your regional preferences, and benefits you’re looking for, the placement expert works with you to craft a plan for employment after you get your CDL at TDI.
Week 2
The second week is when you get your behind-the-wheel training. Over the course of the second week, our students work closely with our driving instructors who have years and years of on-the-road experience.
The majority of your driving training takes place on our private, multi acre range. It’s separated from the main roads, and it’s a great place for new drivers to get comfortable behind the wheel before hitting the streets.
After some time on the private courses, our instructors take our students out for some low-traffic driving sessions during the day.
Week 3
The third and final week is where you apply everything you’ve learned in the classroom and on our private course. Our instructors walk you through high-traffic, night driving, and other complex road conditions until you’re comfortable and confident in the driver’s seat.
After that, all that’s left to do is take your final exam. This involves a mixture of highway driving and on-site drills. After you pass, you receive your professional CDL that certifies you to operate a full sized 18 wheeler.
As you may have noticed, we begin the job placement process long before you even set foot in a truck. TDI is a results-driven school, and we do the best we can to make sure you’re paired with a new job after you’ve left our truck driving schools in Indiana. Some students are selected before they graduate!
