All of the instructors at TDI were extremely helpful and really seemed to care a lot about my…read moresuccess as a student driver. Joe, Tim, Sarge, and Dave gave me invaluable advice and walked me through all the steps on the maneuvers range until I got it right. They were tough, but it's a tough job...not for sensitive little flowers that can't take a little constructive criticism! Terry and Joe were both amazing teachers out on the road. Honestly, I don't know how they keep their cool, driving around with a bunch of greenhorns making every mistake in the book and sometimes nearly wrecking or running things over, but they were both patient and shared lots of helpful tips and advice to make us better drivers. The recruiters give giant packs of applications that they expect you to fill out by hand and turn in. I did most of mine online, because I didn't want to deal with all of that paper. They have 30 companies they contract with to take TDI students straight out of school, so you won't be struggling to find work. They have a lifetime job placement agreement as well, so don't be afraid to utilize that service if you wind up with a less than desireable company. I would definitely recommend TDI to anyone interested in starting a career as a driver. Be aware, though...the cost is pretty high for only three weeks of training. It's about $6000. If you have the cash, rock on! For those who are unemployed, a lot of states cover the cost through their job centers, it just takes a lot of time. So if you're thinking about it, get the ball rolling on getting the school grant ASAP. It can take up to 90 days total, depending on your state and their level of bureaucratic efficiency. Otherwise, if you have good credit, they can finance you. If it's not, start hitting up your friends or family that do, because you'll need a co-signer. All of the companies that contract with TDI do tuition reimbursement, so as long as you go to work right after school, you'll be fine and won't leave your co-signer holding the bag. P. S. Just a heads up to anyone who has consumed drugs of any kind. Most of the big trucking companies have switched from urinalysis to hair follicle testing. It's much harder to fool, and it doesn't violate your privacy to cut your hair. So, if you haven't been clean for at least 3 months (honestly, it would be safer if it was more like 6 months), do yourself a favor and shave your head or wait until your hair has a chance to grow out at least 2 inches before you apply for a driving job. If you fail or refuse a drug test, kiss your new driving career goodbye and get ready to figure out how to pay back the $6000 you spent on school, because no one will ever hire you with a failed drug test on your DAC report. Personally, I think it's kind of crappy, considering someone who is trying to get their life together could be penalized for something they did three months ago. But I see the point of view of the trucking companies, too. Clean drivers have less accidents and that keeps the insurance costs down, which is money they could spend on better equipment or driver pay. So, consider it the cost of better living. You'll make good money and your life can be more comfortable, you just can't ever do any illegal drugs as long as you drive. It's a small price to pay, in my opinion. Ironically, you can drink yourself stupid when you're not within 4 hours of driving time...so if you just HAVE to alter your reality, no problem there. All in all, TDI is a good training center that I would definitely recommend.

The guy I first talked to on phone had a stick up you know where but when I took my CDL test (to…read morepull a trailer over 10,000 Lbs), the examiner was friendly and made the experience great.

I Passed, albeit, with some mistakes here and there, but there were only four. I wasn't to upset, because it was just mistakes I made unknowingly here and there, yet, I still passed regardless. Again, with this company, because most driving learning companies around this area are not even around here anymore, or are only there if you've committed several offenses on your record, THIS is the only guy you wanna go to if you just started to learn how to drive and got your permit. This is is the place you wanna go if you want to learn how to drive, and George is the guy to help teach you how to drive in the Daytona Beach area. I still passed, I ate the points, but in the end of the day, I got my license, and I'm happy about that!

I gave the gift of driving lessons for Christmas gifts to two teenagers and went with A Learn to Drive & Traffic School. George was amazing in getting them prepared for the road test and I definitely recommend this school. George was patient and was very helpful in getting them up to snuff with driving. He came right to the house, picked them up and took them on the road. It was not only convenient, but it was not badly priced either. Though they are in Orange City, they came out to Daytona Beach to pick up each of the boys for their respective lessons. I will give them a solid five stars and they definitely have my recommendation. If you need to get someone driving lessons, this is the driving school to choose.

We got an email confirmation and even a nice phone call a few days before the appointment. However, right before the appointment, the company emailed me (no phone call or text or anything) and canceled part of the package. Again, no phone call. I didn't get the email until I was picking my kid up from school to take her to the appointment. I called customer service, who hung up on me. I called again but they couldn't get us rescheduled at Lake Mary -- we had to go to ORMOND BEACH which looks like a fly-by-night operation!!! The Lake Mary office knew that since they had moved locations, they had to get the DMV to approve the road test. The DMV hadn't approved the roads. The office knew this when they booked. They knew this when they confirmed! They knew this on the day of the appointment. THIS IS AWFUL! Had I canceled like this, I would have been penalized! We had to drive to Ormond Beach (1 hour away) just to take the test - and we didn't get the practice. All the other places were booked for at least 2 months! BTW - the refund claim form wants me to agree to have about half of the fee deducted if they choose to refund it. There is a $15 scheduling fee per appointment & 20% registration fee. I will end up owing them if I ask for a refund! This is stupid! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
