Fabulous group here! I went in for my AZ license with ZERO knowledge and came out feeling well prepared to drive a truck. The team is made up of people with various training styles which is very helpful and they want their students to succeed. And this is one of ONLY 6 schools in Ontario approved by the Canadian Government for government funded truck driver training. There is an obvious reason for that! From the front desk, through the classroom, on the simulators and out to the trucks, I had nothing but great experiences.

One of the most detailed schools I've ever been to and one of the best-rated schools I've ever been to. I could not have asked for a better experience getting my AZ. The instructors there have more than two hundred years worth of experience under their belt combined. They know what they're doing. They adapt to how you're driving, and they tell you where you need Improvement. If it's in your blood you will do fine. Trucking is not for everyone, it's not just a regular job, it's a lifestyle and they understand that. Thank you guys for everything that you have done. I look forward to seeing everyone out on the road as I've completed my AZ course
