    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.

    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!Wesley BrumfieldCDL Class of 12/2023
