Applied Learning

There’s something to be said for hands-on training. TDI places you inside a commercial vehicle to teach you how to properly maneuver your own big truck. With acres of training space, students can practice their off-road driving on a safe driving range. From night driving to off-road to off-set backing, you’ll acquire the most advanced driving skills and techniques used by the best drivers in the industry.

Knowledgeable Instructors

TDI teachers bring a supportive and knowledgeable staff into your training. With a combination of hands-on and applied training, our instructors are with students every step of the way. In preparation for the CDL exam, our instructors offer educational lessons that include mechanical facts, inspection information, weight scales, cargo claims, and much more—everything vital to walking into the CDL examination room completely prepared.

Once you’ve mastered handling the tractor-trailer, you’ll be tested on-site for your Florida Class A CDL!

Why Become a Truck Driver in Pensacola, Florida?

Plenty of Routes

While the American West is known for its incredible natural beauty, there are more highways, freeways, and other trucking routes on the East Coast. This variety allows for more diversity on long drives and keeps things interesting as you travel around Florida and beyond.

The Option to Stay Local

Florida is one of the most populous states in America with over 22 million residents. Because of this, there is a high demand for drivers working in and around the state. Many drivers prefer to stay closer to home with a Class B or C CDL, while others choose a Class A CDL for interstate travel. With its diverse terrain, Florida offers its own unique on-the-job experiences.

Get A Job Fast

There is a significant deficit in truck drivers in Florida. It’s estimated that the United States will need around a million drivers by the end of the decade, and Florida has some of the greatest needs due to its high population. As the third most populous state, Florida offers abundant employment opportunities for new truck drivers.

Convenient Location

Our Milton location is conveniently located right off of I-10, just 30 minutes east of Pensacola, making it easy to commute for your daily CDL training classes. This location is also convenient for students from Crestview, FL; Panama City, FL; and Tallahassee, FL.

Many of our students live out of the area but still choose our Florida truck driving schools because of the high-quality training and established partnerships with major carriers throughout the United States.
