I took the 4-week class and was so nervous that I couldn’t process everything in a short time. But, I was ready after my 1st week in class! In the yard, the instructors were phenomenal. They are motivated to see you succeed. I highly recommend it if you want great training in an awesome atmosphere.

I just graduated today. It was a great experience. I love the instructors, they were amazing. They really want you to succeed! This is an excellent team. Thanks, DDA!

Claudine C.

I just graduated last Thursday, tested, and obtained my CDL today! I was pushed, and my limits were tested beyond what I thought were my limits, but in the end, I came out on top! After all that, I got a call from Stevens Transport, and now I have a job! I would definitely recommend DDA!
