Joseph Thomas – CDL Graduate, Shreveport campus
Joseph Thomas – Graduated from the Shreveport campus March 2010 and is now a Driver Trainer for Werner Enterprises
“What sets this school apart from other schools is the extra time you get in school. I get students from other schools say they were trained for three or four weeks. I always say, “I got five months.”
“I’d rather get a student from DDA who has been out there backing up trucks for 5 weeks, rather than somebody from another school that has been backing for a week. I always want to get students from DDA, but it doesn’t always work out. There are a lot of students from DDA that go work at Werner.”
