At Truck Driver Institute, we believe the best way to learn is by applying knowledge, which is why our coursework includes both classroom and behind the wheel training. When you enroll in Truck Driver Institute’s Lafayette training program, you’ll receive a comprehensive understanding of how to operate a semi-truck. We equip you to confidently maintain driver logs, read maps, plan your trip, and perform a safety inspection of your vehicle before embarking.
