Harold and Deborah Bulkley (Husband and Wife team drivers) - We went from a dirty factory to a clean truck and gross $2,000 to $3,500 per week, TAKE HOME.

Rob Hopkins - I find it fun - I went from $250 per week to $1,000 per week, after 6 months in the industry.

Anthony Schepis - The freedom you get and the independence you have gives you a whole new perspective on life. Becoming a truck driver has made me appreciate my family. Good money and a good way to provide for your family. Good way to see the country without having to pay for it.

Terry Gambino - I've tried for 6 years to do this, and finally a school took me in. You've given me the chance that I've been striving for and I've graduated. I owe you guys BIG TIME!!!

Steve Warner - When I first applied at PDI, I was told the cost of my tuition. I remember thinking to myself, Wow I've never spent this kind of money on any type of schooling before. I also remember sitting in class, hoping this would work out. Well, I'm proud to say that I've been at work for 3 days now and I've already grossed more than I would have if I had worked 40 hours at any of my past jobs!

Robert Saddler - If you want a good career, good money, solid benefits, and job security and have fun doing it, trucking is the way to go. I went from a low income job to a high income career thanks to PDI

Jeremy White - I am making twice the income I used to. I like the feeling of freedom the job gives me.

Now I feel I have a career with great benefits. I'm thrilled with my new job. Great opportunity in the industry. Something I should have done 10-15 years ago.

Wolfgang Berndl - I get to travel and see the sights and I make $1000 per week. Less backbreaking than construction, but I still make the high income. PDI is a great way to start a new career.

Michael Hayhurst - On March 17th I started school to be a Professional Driver at PDI. I was a little scared. Things didn't seem to be going my way. My daughter was very ill, she was in and out of the hospital. It forced me to take a two week leave, I almost quit, but the PDI staff called me and gave me the reassurance that I needed. So I applied myself sent out application after application. By the end of my program I received 29 JOB OFFERS from companies all over. The job offer I received was from T.M.C., others were Marquart, Werner Schneider, Swift, Transport America, Sunrise, Roehl, Stevens, Relco, Marten, KLLM, Simon, KJ, Falcon, CR England, Arrow and others I can name but there are lots of jobs out their - just apply yourself. So if you think you cant do it - just look at me! Thanks for everything PDI.

Karen Syracuse (wife of PDI graduate Vince Syracuse) - We have to start by saying Thank You. Vince was at a point in his life where he felt he wanted to do something different in the job market. After his conversations with you, he felt there were great opportunities in the truck driving industry. PDI helped him out a great deal, not only in a profession that could last him a lifetime, but also in helping him find a job along the way. He had over ten job offers waiting for him even before he graduated. We can't thank you enough.

Harlee Duryea - I want to thank you very much for your confidence and insight to my ability. I had jobs from 16 out 18 applications that I sent out. I guess when you said that I was very marketable you weren't kidding. And the best part was that even before I got a chance to call the companies back to tell them I was going to TMC, probably 6 or so called me and they told me if things don't work out for any reason, or if I change my mind or anything, just give them a call and that their door is still open. That is a pretty good feeling! - Thanks again for everything.

Tom Zulawski - This is an open letter to all employees and present and future PDI students. I wish to thank all of the instructors for every aspect of my training that they each contributed. I received 9 job offers from the following companies MS Carriers, Anderson Trucking, Transport America, USA Truck, Werner enterprises, Proline Carriers, Marten Transport, GD Leasing, KLLM. The students that PDI trains ARE employable! To pick a company that they wish to work for! From my experience the jobs are out there and you don't have far to look. I myself chose to go with Werner. So look over the information that PDI provides and I'm sure youll find a job that suits you. Once again, thank you, PDI for everything that you did.
