Financing a Life Change
Getting a CDL isn't for the faint of heart.
It also isn't something that should be done on a whim.
Going through the process to obtain a CDL is a life change
TDT believes the challenge to obtain a CDL should be affordable and reasonably priced.
Obtaining a CDL is an investment in your future!
Our programs are designed with students in mind.
Our staff have many years of experience and come from several different generations. Our leadership staff is all too familiar with the challenges that come with taking out high-interest, large-amount loans to complete your education. We were raised in a generation where we were told it was ok to take out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans to pay for an education because we'd have a job on the other side ready and waiting to pay us so we could afford to pay off those loans. We refuse to perpetuate that idea.
Our training programs are affordable, often priced less than our competition. The amount you pay isn't just to "get signed off" on a check sheet - it is learning knowledge and skills that are investments for your future success. We are invested in your success.
Students that are interested in financing have a variety of options - one student might need to borrow the full amount, another might have a gift from a family member to apply to the balance, and then need to finance the rest. We will never force you to borrow more than needed.
