About the company
Truck Driver Institute, Inc., a veteran-owned for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Richburg, South Carolina, operates as a federal grant recipient providing commercial driver's license (CDL) training to qualified students and underserved communities under the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training Grants program (CFDA 20.235). The vendor has not held federal contract vehicles or been a prime contractor under other federal contract programs; its footprint consists entirely of prime grant awards (100% of recent awards) and two small purchase orders from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region for individual CDL training.
The FMCSA dominates Truck Driver Institute's federal customer base, accounting for six of eight recent awards through the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training Grants program. The most recent award, dated December 1, 2025, extends through September 30, 2028, with Truck Driver Institute recruiting and enrolling at least 12 students at a tuition cost of $6,995 per student. Prior FMCSA grants include a $195,860 project grant running from July 1, 2022, to September 30, 2024 (CFDA 20.235), targeting enrollment of at least 29 qualified students and members of underserved communities; and a September 1, 2023, award extending through September 30, 2025, with enrollment targets of at least 15 students. An earlier FY2021 CMVOST grant ran from August 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022. The two Forest Service purchase orders, both dated February 17, 2023, covered individual CDL training for Joe Ladner (ceiling value $7,030) and Joseph Rogers (no ceiling value specified), with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2023.
Activity has been sporadic: one award annually in 2020 and 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023, and one in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards is $7 thousand, though combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $733 thousand, reflecting the gap between ceiling values on the purchase orders and actual grant disbursements. Truck Driver Institute operates as a non-accredited institution approved by the Department of Labor as an eligible training provider under WIOA grants and approved by state approving agencies and the Department of Veterans Affairs to accept VA education benefits. The vendor's capability scope is limited to CDL training delivery for federal safety-training grant recipients.
