I chose Friendly upon exploring four truck driving schools in GTA, including a public college, and havent felt the slightest disappointment. The instructors tried to customize my training, allotting practice time based on my weaknesses and progress. As a result, I felt confident on my 90-degree backing well before the road test, which I passed at the first attempt last week. The school emphasizes less on strict step-by-step approaches (e.g., where/when to turn wheel how much) and more on an every-situation-is-unique principle, which better prepares trainees for all occasions.
