WTFC Decal
Special thanks to Mike Millian and the PMTC for offering WTFC this great opportunity to show case some great women of the Trucking Industry in this Special Supplement. I’m sure you will enjoy the articles we have planned with the team from Kelman !!
If your a proud supporter of women in the industry, what a great way to show it by advertising in the supplement. Take this opportunity to reach out to the ladies by promoting your products, services and employment opportunities.
On behave of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada we thank you for your support 🙂
The Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada (WTFC) is a non-profit organization established to encourage the employment of women in the transportation industry.
The organization wants to celebrate and promote these accomplishments as well as address obstacles and issues faced by women working in the industry. Their purpose is to promote personal growth and responsibility whether your “In the Office, under the Hood or behind the Wheel”. Despite the name “Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada” its membership is not limited to women, as they welcome the involvement of anyone who is positive and supportive of women in the transportation industry.
With that said, the WTFC is proud to announce that the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) will be featuring its organization with a “Special Supplement” in the Winter issue of the PMTC’s magazine – Private Motor Carrier.
As the WTFC continues to grow, having this opportunity to be featured in the PMTC’s magazine will allow the organization to share its message with nearly 5,300 people on the PMTC’s mailing list throughout Canada.
WTFC has recognized your organization as being one of their valued supporters, so we are offering you this unique opportunity to place an ad in the special supplement and show your support of both the organization & women in the trucking industry. Not only will you be visibly demonstrating your support to the WTFC, but you will also be putting your company’s products/services noticeably in front of all the PMTC members and 5,300 people on the associations mailing list.

Transport Training Centres Of Canada
As you may or may not know, as of August 2016, Foundation Career College has changed its name to Transport Training Centres of Canada Ltd.
This signifies a major change not only in the branding of the company but also in the way the location will operate going forward.
Foundation Career College had typically been run as its own separate entity but with the campus now under the TTCC banner, changes have been made to ensure Transport Training Centres of Canada’s standard of top-notch training will be implemented in Dartmouth, NS.
The changes begin with the introduction of a state-of-the-art Virage Truck Driving Simulator.
The on-site simulator includes real truck parts and full simulation of virtually any type of heavy vehicle from dump trucks to highway tractor-trailer and semi-trailer applications. The unit also includes 3D sound and high fidelity visual scenes with a virtual 360 degree view from the driver’s seat (180 degree forward field of view and rear-view mirrors) using the latest LCD high resolution display technology.
We have seen this simulator training vastly improve the quality of drivers that we produce, as students get added time backing, shifting and more. The additional skill development has greatly improved our students’ confidence and knowledge.
The unlimited simulator training is available for all students (former and current) and demos are available at the campus for those interested.
The change to TTCC also means that we are going to be more involved with companies, as TTCC has done successfully for many years. We are taking a hands-on approach with job placements and internships and have developed systems to ensure students have the greatest chance of success in the workforce. We are very excited to work hand in hand with employers to ensure our graduates exceed employer expectations and to ensure that any concerns over previous experiences with Foundation Career College are those of the past.
If you are interested in learning more about our programs feel free to give us a call at 1-800-805-0662, visit our website at http://www.ttcc.ca/ or stop in to our campus located at 9 Pettipas Drive, Unit 1, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
My 1st week of Truck Driver SchoolÂ
Hey… I am currently in training for my Class 1 at Breton Commercial Truck Training school in Cape Breton ! They are awesome to learn from and deal with. I can’t wait to finish and hit the open road!
This is my first week. I have a few pictures I’ll share more through the next 11 weeks ! I am the only girl in this class of 9. There were 2 girls before my class and one starting a class after mine ends
I keep forgetting to ask my classmates to take pictures of me driving lol.
We are in our training yard with our trailers today. We have been around the industrial park on the actual road with our trainers learning to shift. We then learned backing up just bobtailing… And now that we have that down we are working on backing up trailers.
