Best CDL Training Indiana Has to Offer

Preparation

With TDI, you can get the preparation you need for your CDL license exam. Formal CDL training offers a certain level of readiness that is incomparable to self-study. Know the TDI difference with the following exclusive offers:

• Hands on training – There’s exclusive hands-on, behind-the-wheel training that you wouldn’t get on your own. Our students get to test drive the semi trucks they’ll be handling in their career and get first hand experience operating an 18-wheeler in real life.
• Experienced Teachers – If there’s one thing to know about us, it’s that TDI teachers know their stuff. Get your lessons taught by highly knowledgeable and accessible teachers, who love offering first account advice, an indispensable component of any education.
• Bonus Knowledge – Learning through this sort of informal education offers invaluable experiences, while adhering to a success-proven curriculum. TDI takes the guesswork out of your education and adds in tidbits of information from real trucking companies that will benefit you in the long run. It’s this access to information outside of a textbook that makes a difference. That means, you’ll get to learn how to plan trip logs and best practices for large capacity loads. TDI offers bonus knowledge in the form of tips and tricks not included in your textbooks.

Connections

When looking into CDL training, Indiana drivers know the importance of an education from TDI instructors. While building a strong platform to teach driver’s the needed information for the three-part CDL licensing exam, educations also manage to guide drivers through the process and give them time maneuvering a semi. The experience of our instructors is an added value of the course, but also the strong connections that form between the student and the teacher. Our teachers are the backbone of our program and they’re committed to turning every student into a trucker. 

Moreover, TDI facilitates a partnership between our students and our many affiliates. Yes, it’s true: a program for CDL training Indiana employers pick their employees from. We make the connections that dictate the first steps in your career by linking you with job placement resources that bring on opportunities. You can enter into the truck driving world with the highest confidence on your shoulders and TDI right behind you, backing every step you take in this profitable field. 

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. Some students are selected before they graduate!
