Shreveport Class A CDL Training
Choosing where to train for a Class A CDL is a big decision, and Diesel Driving Academy’s Shreveport campus gives residents of Northwest Louisiana and the surrounding ArkLaTex region a local option. That includes students from Bossier City, Minden, Ruston, Mansfield, Natchitoches, Marshall, Longview, and Texarkana. The campus offers three Class A CDL training programs taught by experienced instructors, and graduates often start their trucking careers earning $60,000 or more a year.
Where to Find Us
Diesel Driving Academy’s Shreveport campus sits at the crossroads of Caddo and Bossier parishes in northwest Louisiana, near Interstate 20 and Interstate 49. That location puts the campus within reach of the ArkLaTex region, which spans parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, so students don’t have to travel far from home to get quality training.
Since 1972, our Shreveport campus has trained professional truck drivers from across this three-state area. It’s the school’s original campus, opening before the Baton Rouge and Monroe locations, which means students are training at the location with the longest track record.
Why Choose DDA Shreveport
Many students choose the Shreveport campus because getting there is easy. Interstate 20 and Interstate 49 both run through the campus’s home parish, so the commute stays manageable for students coming from the surrounding cities and parishes.
Programs Available
Not every student has the same schedule, so Diesel Driving Academy’s Shreveport campus offers Class A CDL training in day and evening formats. Course length ranges from a few weeks to several months, depending on the program a student selects.
Picking the right program depends on a student’s goals, schedule, and financial situation, and that can feel like a lot to sort out alone. The Shreveport admissions team walks students through these options once they connect, so a student doesn’t need to have it figured out beforehand. Graduates from every program qualify for the same job placement assistance the Shreveport campus offers.
Admissions requirements are the same at every DDA campus, so students already familiar with DDA elsewhere will find the process consistent. Financial aid is available for students who qualify, including federal grants, WIOA funding, and payment plans.
