We were thankful to have one of our graduates stop by and show off her new rig.
Danielle Cessna, one of our Little Rock graduates, traded in her day job as a preschool teacher to take to the highways with US Xpress.
When asked if she had any advice for potential students looking to train as a professional truck driver, her answer was simple. “Go in to it with an open mind and listen to your instructors. They know what they’re talking about.”.
Congratulations, Danielle. We’re all proud of you!

Say hello to Robert Moore, the latest Little Rock graduate to stop by and show off his new truck.
Before Robert finished CDL training at Diesel Driving Academy and started working at Stevens Transport, he was working outside in landscaping.
Robert said that he loves his new job as a professional truck driver, and that those interested in following suit should definitely consider DDA’s program.
“I heard DDA had the best training program around” said Robert.
As for advice to those considering truck driving as a profession, Robert said “You might be nervous at first, but it gets easier after you start. Just have a strong will and be determined and it will pay off”.
Thanks for stopping by, Robert!

We received this hand written letter out of the blue from one of our truck driving graduates, William Burk. Good to hear you’re making the big bucks over the road, William!
Still rolling, now in charge of 3 trucks and drivers. Pulling 3 axle trailer, 88,800 lbs gross. Paid by the ton. Think I exceeded my goal for the first year and I gave my boss a $100 gift card to a steak house as a thank you. I recently saw and spoke to Charles Dixon. Thanks to him and Mike Otwell I made a long time dream a reality.
Thank you,
William Burk
