Diesel Driving Academy

"1992 graduate, what a great career and this is where it all started for me!!! Almost 32 years and nearly 4 million miles of professional driving now. Thanks DDA for getting me started."

"I just graduated today, it was a great experience . I love the instructors, they were amazing . I’m going to miss Mr. Glen, Damien and Ms. Pre-trip lady. Scott and I didn’t hit it off at first but we worked together and he helped me get my alley dock down. They really want you to succeed this is a excellent team. Thanks DDA"

"Currently enrolled into a program here at the academy, first and foremost the staff here is top notch, very professional and willing to go above and beyond to help you here at the Shreveport La location. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to start a career in the trucking industry to come here. Very positive and respectful atmosphere. The instructors are very knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly. It feels great coming in everyday learning what they are able to teach me in a short period of time and leaving with confidence. I could keep going haha but really for anyone looking to obtain their cdl come here. You won't regret it I promise. Thanks DDA"

"I really do hate giving this business only 2 stars being that I'm not aware of 100% how they operate . I contacted them a few times before they finally did respond back. I just asked a simple question which was would they work around my work schedule from off shore . The lady never told me no but asked if it was possible if I could take 30 days off from work. It is absolutely impossible for me to take 30 days off from work unless I had proof of some near death medical excuse. I have been with the same company off shore for 20 and I'm now trying to focus on a new career path . I am very dedicated to work and have had a steady paycheck since I was 15 years old, so I don't know how to just ask for a month off . I would take a chance of leaving this job if I was guaranteed a income within a reasonable time upon graduation. If I leave here then it would be no doubt I would complete this academy . I'm just sitting back still waiting on the answer if they are willing or able to work around an off shore schedule for me to attend this academy or if it's just impossible for off shore workers to pursue a trucking career, still no answer yet which has me questioning how grounded and competent this academy is if they cannot answer simple questions or respond to people in timely manners."
