Truck Driving School

TDDS offers a variety of programs to fit your needs and level of experience. For starters, we have CDL training programs designed for drivers with no previous commercial driving experience.

Diesel Technician Training

If you’re looking for a top-notch diesel mechanic school in Ohio, then TDDS is the perfect place to start. We offer a bumper-to-bumper education that allows our students to work on live equipment – not simulators – so they can get a real feel during training. And since every detail matters, we keep our class sizes small to maximize your opportunity to excel.

In addition to our great programs, consider the other perks of attending TDDS:

• Affordable student housing
• We offer Title IV funding (which most trucking schools don’t)
• An accredited education
• Job placement opportunities
