If you’re looking for the fastest, most reliable path to a high-paying trucking career in Tennessee, you don’t want to gamble with your CDL training. The right school can launch you into a stable, long-term career — and the wrong one can leave you with debt, wasted time, and no job prospects.
At Tennessee Truck Driving School, we do things differently. We’re not here just to hand you a certificate — we’re here to help you build a career that changes your life. With industry-leading instructors, flexible financing, and one of the strongest job-placement networks in the Southeast, we’ve become the go-to CDL school for anyone serious about success.
Here’s why.
Training With a Purpose: Your Career Comes First
Many CDL schools focus on one thing: getting your tuition. We focus on something else entirely — your future.
Our mission is simple:
Train better drivers. Place them in better jobs. Help them build better lives.
We invest in your success from day one, offering hands-on instruction, modern equipment, and career guidance that continues long after graduation.
Recent results:
-
100% of our 2024 graduates were hired BEFORE they started training.
-
Average starting pay for new drivers: $57,000+
If you’re ready to enter a career with stability, high demand, and real earning potential, you’re in the right place.
Fast, High-Quality CDL Training
Our training program is built for people who want to get licensed quickly — without cutting corners.
What you’ll experience:
-
Professional classroom instruction tailored to real-world driving
-
Backing, turning, and maneuvering practice with modern trucks
-
Behind-the-wheel road training with skilled instructors
-
ELDT-compliant curriculum that meets all federal standards
-
Small class sizes for maximum 1-on-1 support
We train on late-model equipment, including both automatic and manual transmissions, so you’re prepared for whatever employer you choose.
Whether you’re brand new to trucking or transitioning careers, you’ll get the instruction, coaching, and confidence you need to launch your CDL career the right way.
Flexible Financing Options — We Hold the Note (No Third-Party Lenders)
Financing is one of the biggest concerns future drivers have — and this is exactly where Tennessee Truck Driving School stands apart from every other CDL program in the industry.
We finance our students directly.
No banks.
No credit companies.
No outside lenders.
We hold the note ourselves.
This means:
✔️ No credit score needed
✔️ No third-party approvals
✔️ No predatory lending
✔️ No complicated underwriting
✔️ No one selling your loan to outside companies
If you qualify for a job, you qualify for our financing.
It’s that simple.
Most students can get up to 100% of their tuition financed internally, right here through the school — something other CDL programs simply don’t offer.
Why do we do it this way?
Because we’re not in the business of selling paper.
We’re in the business of training drivers and getting them hired.
When we invest in you, we’re investing in your future career — and we stand behind that commitment from start to finish.
Bottom line:
If you’re serious about becoming a truck driver, we’ll make sure financing is never the reason you can’t start.
Strong Job Placement Support — Before You Even Graduate
Here’s where we stand out:
You don’t complete training and then look for a job. At Tennessee Truck Driving School, we help you secure job opportunities before you even finish your CDL program.
What our job-placement support includes:
-
Pre-hire applications with top carriers
-
Interview coaching & resume support
-
Connections with regional & national trucking companies
-
Dedicated placement coordinators
-
Lifetime job-placement assistance
Our employer network includes companies offering:
-
Sign-on bonuses
-
Weekly home time options
-
Full benefits packages
-
Paid orientation
-
Tuition reimbursement programs
Your career starts the moment you walk in the door — not the day you walk out.
