ATDS training is unique. Our approach to all student candidates is: "What are you looking for - a job or a career?" We explain that anyone can have a job, but what ATDS offers is a career. To prepare for this career, a student candidate must understand the Road Transportation Industry.

We stress that this is not just driving, but everyone starts out by driving OTR (over the road). This allows for a greater ongoing education as to learning all aspects of the industry. This is how strong roots take hold. We stress that our students must conduct themselves honorabley with the highest of integrity and ethics each day. These three elements build trust and trust builds teamwork, which is what makes our industry work.

With Professional Drivers Institute's Accelerated Carrier Training program (ACT), you can have the training you need to begin your new career as a professional driver in as little as 3 short weeks! Professional drivers are in demand nationwide. But to take advantage of the many opportunities available in the transportation industry, you must have approved training and the proper licensing.

Through our job placement assistance program, we can help get you hired by a company, often even before you start your training! But the first step is up to you.
