Why Choose Class A CDL Training?

The transportation industry faces a nationwide shortage of qualified Class A CDL drivers. Top carriers like Werner, FedEx, and Schneider are actively recruiting skilled graduates—and TDI prepares you to be at the top of their list.

What Can You Drive with a Class A CDL?

A Class A CDL qualifies you to operate vehicles towing trailers with a GVWR over 10,000 pounds, plus Class B and C vehicles (with proper endorsements). This opens doors to driving:

  • Semi-trucks & tractor-trailers
  • Flatbeds & box trucks
  • Dump trucks & straight trucks
  • Tanker vehicles
  • Double and triple trailers
  • Livestock carriers
  • And more!
