Driving School Desk is built specifically for driving schools — not adapted from a generic booking template. 24/7 online booking, automatic instructor scheduling, and the only native TDLR compliance stack in the industry.
Get Started FreeOne surprise inspection with records in three folders is all it takes.
Track each student as active, graduated, withdrawn, or terminated — the status TDLR expects on file.
Upload permits, waivers, ITTD/ITAD certs, VOEs, parent IDs, and correspondence — one secure folder per student.
Records are retained from completion or withdrawal date plus three years — soft-delete locked for audit safety.
Age-routed checklist in the booking flow (teen / young adult / adult) with optional block when docs are missing.
One click exports all vault documents and metadata for a student — ready when TDLR shows up unannounced.
Automated notifications at 60, 30, and 7 days before your TDLR provider license expires.
BTW and classroom hours synced to each student — see who is road-test ready before they arrive.
Generate state-controlled completion certificates with control-number ledger — no manual PDF workflow.
Validated CSV in TDLR OLS format plus a 15-day deadline board for phase completion reporting.
Every competitor stops at the calendar — none of them ship TDLR compliance.
“I cancelled Teachworks and Calendly the same week I switched. DSD does both for $39 a month. The TDLR vault alone saves me more than that in filing time.”
