Northern Driving Institute (NDI) · Wayne B. Bergmann, Operations Manager

Mr. Bergmann was an Over-The-Road driver for thirteen years, while spending eleven of those years as a driver trainer he has trained hundreds of students and earned over 3 million accident free miles. Mr. Bergmann has earned Top Performer Awards for eleven years in a row and numerous Safety Awards.

With having trained hundreds of students fresh out of Truck Driving School, Mr. Bergmann has personally seen and experienced the frustration of students who did not receive either the correct amount of training needed or the proper training needed to perform the duties necessary for a career as a Commercial Driver. Unfortunately, the lack of a proper foundation is often discouraging for a new driver and in many cases can lead to a lack of interest or even failure.

At Northern Driving Institute we strive to give each student the best base of information available. Our goal is to enable each student the opportunity to succeed by offering quality education, assistance with long-term job placement and a positive outlook for their future.
