Tampa Truck Driving School

"Highly recommend this school, Every instructor is there to help and assist you with anything you need, Adam in week 1 was very informative and was dead set to help everyone get their cdl permit. In week 2, I was with Eric and he Knew all the little tips and tricks there was to teach the yard maneuvers. In week 3, Pedro taught an additional maneuver and sharpend our skills on the maneuvers learned in week 2. Also in week 3, I had Erik the road instructor, he taught us how to double clutch a manual (for those taking the manual test) and how to safely drive a tractor trailer on the road. This school is designed for the people that have little to no experience with trailers. All you have to do is put in the study time, pay attention, and keep practicing. What you put into the school is what you get."

"The best way I can describe my experience at Tampa Truck Driving School, it was a roller-coaster of emotions, and I mean that in the best way possible. From the first Day Mike gave us the expectation of the staff being there for you but they are not going to hold your hand. You have to want it to succeed, First week was basic to get our learners permit but week 2 was when things started to get real. The instructors in our second week of training were great, but I won't lie I struggled a lot when I first touched that steering wheel and I questioned if truck driving was for me, but thanks to Eric in phase 2, who was not about to let me give up, he gave me the confidence to keep going forward and get better. Then in week 3, Pedro took his time to help me more with fine tuning my short comings to prepare me for my CDL test which is very challenging but possible if you allow the instructors to guide you and put in the work! Especially with on the road training, Thomas and Erik really gave me the confidence to drive a semi on the main road! Tampa Truck Driving School was an amazing experience, even the housing was great and allowed to meet so many great people! I highly recommend this school because they are not in it for the money, they are honest, real and made me feel like they want us all to succeed, which I'm happy to say I did! Another big Thanks to Mike also for those great speeches every week, and he was right "everytime you touch that steering wheel, the better driver you become!""

"Eric the instructor in phase 2 was phenomenal to have as a teacher. He made the learning process very fun and always had the group in great spirits. Was very hands on and knew what he is talking about. Made sure you understood anything you didn’t fully feel understanding about. Eddie, Glen, Thomas, and Pedro also very good instructors and are very professional drivers who have a bunch of knowledge about the industry. Very smooth process with this school and them getting you paired with a job. A plus is in 6months after you graduate, they’ll let you go back for free and test in manual. So I’ll be back in 6months to get those restrictions off. Great school highly recommend TTDS and especially Eric as your phase 2 trainer."

"I’ve always heard that Tampa Truck Driving school is really a great trucking school and with my own experience I can attest that this statement is nothing but the truth . Starting with the staff, Eric from week 2 teaching and letting you learn from your own mistake. Thomas from week 3 who shows you how to stay focus and to notice everything while driving the truck/trailer on the road. Pedro from week 3 teaching 90 degree angle back. Glen from week 3 who takes his time and patience to show you different perspectives on how to move this heavy vehicle. Thank you to every other staff Mike, Coach, Ms.T, Angelo, Adam, Erica,Troy and thank you to The Mechanics."
