The trucking industry is a robust part of the Canadian economy, employing thousands of people every year. Becoming a professional truck driver can offer a rewarding career but it requires the right skills, experience, and education. This is where Professional Transport Driver Training School comes in, with our Class 1 and Class 3 training programs designed to prepare you for a successful career in the industry.


Class 1 Training: Your Gateway to Comprehensive Driving Skills


Our Class 1 Training Program is the perfect starting point for aspiring drivers. Designed to teach the rigorous skills needed to operate heavy trucks, trailers, and semi-trailers, this course covers everything from vehicle control, fuel-efficient driving, to safety measures, and compliance with legal regulations. Upon completion, you will have the confidence and competence needed to handle the challenges of commercial truck driving.


Safety First


Safety is the most important aspect when it comes to truck driving. Our Class 1 program emphasizes safety measures, ensuring that our students understand the importance of maintaining safe following distances, adapting to changing road conditions, and handling emergencies.


It's All About Control


Through our Class 1 training program, you will gain a deep understanding of vehicle operations such as shifting, backing, and steering. You will understand how to control and maneuver your vehicle in different road and weather conditions.


Class 3 Training: Specialized Skills for Real-world Scenarios


For those pursuing opportunities with smaller, single trucks, our Class 3 Training program is the perfect choice. This program is designed to provide advanced skills required for operating two and three axle trucks, as well as straight-body trucks.


Loading and Unloading


One of the essential skills we focus on in our Class 3 program is learning how to properly load and unload the truck. This often overlooked skill is crucial in transporting goods efficiently and safely.


Pre and Post-trip Inspection


Our Class 3 program also emphasizes pre and post-trip inspections to ensure vehicle safety and prevention of potential issues.


Driver Professionalism


Both of our classes include training on driver professionalism. We believe that acting professionally is equally important as driving skillfully. Hence, we train our students in the customer-service aspects of the driving profession as well.
