Driving Schools near Knoxville

“Great place and caring staff! So glad my daughter had the opportunity to learn life long driving skills in all situations. I highly recommend Jon N, great instructor and goes above and beyond!! I will be recommending Drive 4 Life Academy to all my parents.“

“Drive-Rite was very flexible working with our schedule as some school events popped up during drive-rite scheduled class times. We appreciate the thoroughness and detail oriented dedication they put into their classes. The driving lessons were conducted over multiple roadways giving our son a nice variety of driving experiences with them.“

“I just want to take a moment to publicly and wholeheartedly thank Tennessee Truck Driving School (TTDS) for changing my life.

After over 30 years in healthcare, I found myself starting over—not just with a new career, but a new purpose. I walked into TTDS not knowing what to expect, but from Day One, I was greeted with structure, discipline, respect, and the kind of support you don’t find just anywhere. I was just a man chasing a new dream, but they treated me like a future professional.

To the instructors—Marsha, Sam, Lester, Tim, David, Jeff, Bill, Aaron, Robert, and every staff member. Especially Janet who gave their time, their wisdom, and sometimes their patience—you are more than teachers; you are mentors, encouragers, and examples of what it means to take pride in what you do.

I learned how to pre-trip a truck, master the offset and 90-degree backing maneuvers, and tackle the road test—but I also learned something deeper: how to believe in myself again. I watched my classmates push through fear, doubt, and long hours, and I was proud to be among them—Class #07072025, we did it 100%!

From classroom to cab, TTDS made sure we were ready for the real world. They didn’t hand us licenses—they made sure we earned them. And for that, I am truly grateful.

To my wife Diana and my mom LaWana, thank you for believing in me when I had to start over. To my instructors and classmates, thank you for helping me rise.

To anyone thinking about becoming a truck driver—if you want real training, real people, and a real shot at a career that matters—go to TTDS.
They’ll push you, prepare you, and most of all—they’ll believe in you.

Roll on, family. The Aspie Trucker is just getting started. ??“
