I filled out contact info form online for TDI(Truck Driving Institute), someone called me I answered some questions and was told that he would be emailing an application which I should fill out and after I should call him with a $25 CC payment for them to do a background check. I don't understand why I should pay $25 before I'm accepted at the school and see this as a "red flag". Is this common and what should I do? Are they a Good School? This was the TN branch.

To do the background check costs money. If they pay for it and your background does not come back clean, you wish them to absorb the cost of the Background check?
You go online and request a background check on yourself. You have to pay first.
You are forgetting the time that someone has to take to also enter in the information. -
Ok Mark, you may be right, but other schools(Sage, LCCC, N. Hampton CC in PA) don't ask for that, so I just thought it was odd..

Sure why not,trucking companies do background checks and don't ask for money.Wonder when this started.Back when I attended school I never had to pay for a background check.Don't even know if they did that back then.Alot of ppl go to truck school with bad things on their record so what do schools consider bad to get disqualified?
Go-Go Thanks this. -
pattyj Thanks this.

Im going to TDI in dallas on the 29th. I paid for the background check. I did my homework on the school, it seemed to be a pretty good school. I read bad things as well....as with anything you can choose to believe it or not. I chose TDI due to the low out of pocket cost to start....yeah there are cheaper schools but I only plan to get a CDL once, so screw it.
