TDI in Milton, FL

Hi everybody. I am supposed to be attending the TDI school in Milton, FL beginning Monday, Oct. 21, 2013. Can anyone give me their general thoughts/feelings on this school? My fiance will be attending as well. She has a current CDL but has been off the road for the past 6 years so will be attending as a refresher course. I, on the other hand, am new to this career and have no experience. I have tried to do research on the web and see that TDI has an A+ rating but can't find much else available on TDI.

Thanks in advance,
James

 

Yes, we will be team driving. Our desire is to do OTR driving. Our kids are grown, have no limitations on where/when/how long we can be gone or go to.

I will definitely check into Benny Whitehead trucking. Thank you.

 

A lot of helpful info provided to me so far, but going back to my original question, has anyone got any thoughts/feelings on TDI, the truck driving school in Milton, FL?

 

I will do that. I too have talked to Lee.

I have to say that I do have a couple nagging doubts about TDI. It seems to be that there isn't a lot of communication between folks in recruiting in TDI. Seems when applying for financing at TDI they want you to have a co-signer no matter what. My fiancee has an 800 credit score, still needed a co-signer, seems crazy to me. I too needed a co-signer, but not super surprised by that as my credit score isn't that high.

Also, a different recruiter is working with my fiancee (Tricia I think is her name). She told my fiancee that her financing was completed and then here we are a couple days before school begins and we find out that in fact her financing is still pending. Needless to say we are concerned that we will get a couple days into training and find out that she might have to begin on a different week.

But I will keep things updated, let you know how it goes.

 

Ugh. Long story there. I had everything all set up to go, quit my job and was all set to get going...........and then everything that could go wrong did. In a nutshell, I haven't as yet been to TDI. And in all likelyhood I won't be attending TDI. However, there is no fault on the part of TDI, it's stuff on my end that fell through.
