When I attended TDI students took a poll and it was over 200 years of experience for the trainers, if you added the office staff that number went up to almost 225 years.

It was a great experience. If I had to attend a school again it would be TDI. The instruction went far beyond passing y the test. They talked about real work trucking issues also I.e. work life Vs home life, what to stand up to with companies and brokers/ dispatchers, health nutrition etc etc great school experience
