Brenda, Mervin and the team were great! More than enough education and road time to gain a good grasp on the skills required. Glad I chose this company over the others.

First and foremost thank you Harry and Bev. I really appreciate the time and efforts you guy put into teaching and explaining the fundamental of not just driving a tractor trailer but driving in general. Three weeks ago I know nothing about driving a tractor trailer and now I can proudly say I hold a class 1 license. I would definitely recommend anyone I know wanted to learn how to drive a tractor trailer to you any time. You guys are amazing thank you again for everything you've done for me.

Worst truck driving school on the planet. Should be called unprofessional truck driving school. Waste of time and money. I would not recommend this business to anyone and it is borderline fraud. The truck is dirty, the instructors vehicle was extremely dirty. The receptionist and the instructor both used foul language. The instructor talked about politics and mentioned how he is starting a political party and how he would run Canada. What a disgrace. I wouldn't even trust this guy to run a semi-legit truck driving school.
