The Ontario Truck Driving School founded in 1978 is one of the largest driving schools in the area. It is fully bonded Registered Private Vocational School. The objective is to provide truck, bus and heavy equipment operators’ professional training in the operation of modern equipment utilized by today’s transportation & construction firms.
The Ontario Truck Driving School has grown from three full-time employees to a corporation with more than fifty full and part-time staff members. It offers training in London, Sarnia, Chatham, Niagara-on-the Lake, Owen Sound, Hamilton, Brantford, Kitchener and Windsor.
A Border Crossing Trip was formed in conjunction with Border Officials to offer our students proper border crossing training. We have also incorporated a stop at an MTO Inspection station, where MTO officials provide our students complete understanding of the importance of these stations and exactly what is required of the drivers. Fork Lift , Aerial Lift, Boom Truck Working at Heights & Heavy Equipment Courses were introduced to train students on backhoes, bulldozers, excavators, Wheel Loaders, Rock Trucks, Graders and scrapers. Today an operator’s job involves much more than “Operating the equipment”.
Lessons are taught by qualified over the road instructors who have experienced the challenges you may encounter as a new operator. Thousands of men and women have successfully obtained employment and began careers operating heavy equipment, trucks, buses with the help of our job-oriented training.
The following options are also available; Student Funding, National job Board an exclusive Job Gateway for our graduates, Course Schedules to work around your work schedule. Please visit our website for complete details www.otds.com or call us at 1-800-799-JOBS ( 5627 )

At Linamar Transportation, we understand the importance of ensuring our new graduate hires are competent and capable of performing the job. Our new graduate training program has been designed to “bridge” an individual’s transition from a training school environment into a proficient, safe, and successful professional transport driver for Linamar Transportation.
Linamar
We have developed a program which consists of 8 weeks in-cab practical training. The first 6 weeks of training will be within Southern Ontario, particularly within the Guelph area – this portion of the training is designed to practice basic backing and maneuvering skills in order to build confidence and skill in handling the equipment. Trainees will return to the terminal daily at the end of each shift. The last 2 weeks of the program consist of over the road cross border runs into Michigan and Ohio and focuses on all the other aspects of the job from trip planning, fueling, load security, hours of service, etc. When training over the road, if unable to make it back to the terminal, the company will pay for hotel rooms in order that both the trainee and trainer can have privacy and proper rest.
Trainers at Linamar Transportation are full time, experienced drivers who are certified mentors. They provide regular feedback, tips and tricks to coach their trainees to successful completion of the program.
Trainees must meet specific criteria to be admitted into the training program at Linamar Transportation. Our primary focus is to hire individuals who are the best fit for the company and who would realize personal and business success. We are looking for individuals who will not only launch their career at Linamar Transportation but who feel the same loyalty and passion that is instilled in our company culture.
And when they graduate, our drivers typically work five to six days a week or a maximum of 70 hours (whatever comes first), followed by a guaranteed minimum of 36 hours off at home. Our operating area includes Ontario and the mid-central USA. Running a maximum of 2 days out at a time, our dispatch system allows our trucks to maximize available hours while reducing unproductive time. Our goal is for our experienced drivers to achieve a gross pay of $65,000 annually.
Linamar
Linamar provides top quality equipment which consists of late model Freightliner Cascadia leased from Penske on a full maintenance lease program. Their comprehensive maintenance network gives our drivers peace of mind knowing that if there is a mechanical issue on the road, they will be looked after in a professional and timely manner. We train our drivers on a 10 or 13 speed transmission and trainees are assigned a dedicated tractor once they successfully complete the training program.
Linamar Transportation is a for-hire carrier servicing primarily our own manufacturing plants. We were named one of Canada’s Top Fleet Employers 3 years running and Top Medium Fleet overall in 2016. Our freight is no-touch and no driver assist. We have an exceptional safety rating and are running 100% elogs. There are so many more great things about working for Linamar that we’d love to tell you about.
For more information about our New Graduate Training Program, give us a call at 1-800-463-5862 extension 35207 or go to our website www.linamar.com
Ask any of our drivers about Linamar and our training program, we think you will find we are one of the industry’s best kept secrets.

DeckX Transport is proud to announce that we have recently implemented a New Driver Trainee Program for newly licensed drivers and a Flat Deck Training Program for seasoned Drivers, with no previous Flat Deck experience. The program is in its infancy and is currently limited to training one applicant at a time, out of our head office based in Winnipeg, MB. Since we implemented the program, we have successfully trained two new drivers and we are welcoming a third driver trainee onto our team late May, 2017.
Will Wuss Trainee
The New Driver Training Program has been developed to provide novice drivers with an additional 6-8 weeks, on-the-road training, with a DeckX Trainer, in order to enhance their driving skills. This training will include additional instruction in the use of tarps, straps and chains with which to provide the knowledge and skills required, so as to successfully operate flat decks. New drivers will continue with their skills development once they have successfully completed the 6-8 week program and have been promoted from a Driver Trainee and have been dispatched on their 1st independent load.
the forks day
The Flat Deck Training requirement, for highly skilled and experienced drivers, is designed to teach the knowledge and skills needed, to secure loads using tarps, straps, and chains. Drivers will again continue their skills development once having been dispatched on their 1st independent load.
Our vision is to develop this program and expand it to our satellite locations based out of Aberfoyle, ON and Edmonton, AB.
