Drive-Train is authorized by the State Of Tennessee Higher Education Commission. We have been training CDL Drivers for over 29 years. We are a privately owned training school. We are not owned by a trucking company. That means you get to pick what company you drive for and how much money you can make, not the school. At company owned schools you have no choice. Don’t lock yourself into company. Keep your options open. We offer free life-time placement for our graduates.
