Hey there. I went to Toronto truck training school, been awhile but pretty straight forward. When you go for the driven I took the school bus as it's easier when it comes to test time. I believe they were off Weston road and the 401 area.

Do you have a job set up for the winter yet? 407 is always hiring I could get you in easy. Pays the best rates for standby.

Same I went to I believe a long time ago. Raymond Garcia is the owner.
They offer weekend air brake classes. The instructor he had for that at the time was a retired MTO guy. Very thorough class.
You have to be on the ball and intake whats being taught.
Prices were very reasonable.

50/50 I have not heard back from company from last year. How do they workout where you plough and what's the starting rate?
Is dz mandatory?

The new rules for AZ require a course, and the testing procedure for AZ and AR is now different. One of my friends and I were the first two to go through the new AR testing in July. I was asking the tester (doesn't hurt to chat them up, and we plow that plaza so he recognizes us) about the DZ and he said the air brake portion isn't even a road test if you already have your D or AR. So you could get your D if you know someone with a heavier rated truck with hydraulic brakes and then do the Z later.

One thing to note is now you don't complete a full walk around inspection, they get six areas at random and test you on those. Makes sense, keeps you on your toes and makes sure you know it rather than having memorized the circle check.

Depends on where you are from?

Yea I believe the mto guy was Irish or a Scotsman, really knew his stuff and well worth the money. Open on weekends was a bonus!

Is this the company you guys were talking about?

Also where do you have classes and where do you drive when lessons are going on?
