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. 

 

 

 

 

Ontario Truck Driving SchoolA 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”.

 

Ontario Truck Driving SchoolLessons 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 8th annual Convoy For Hope – Atlantic

The 8th annual Convoy For Hope – Atlantic

by | Jul 30, 2017 | BLOG

The 8th annual Convoy For Hope – Atlantic is bringing together Atlantic Canadians to celebrate the great service of the trucking industry and supporting our communities in the fight against Cancer.

This year’s event will raise awareness and funds to combat Breast, Colon, Lung, and Prostate Cancer. Our event is unique in so many ways;

– It is rare that a single event supports more than one cancer. Our team has chosen the top four that most affect Atlantic Canadians, and unfortunately those numbers of incidence and mortality are the highest of all the provinces in Canada.

– All of our events are organized and run solely by volunteers. We guarantee that less than 10% of funds received will be used for essential expenses; insurance, licensing, web domains, etc. This provides more than $0.90 on the dollar to be directed straight to the cause.

– Of the 4 cancers we represent Colon & lung receive the last funding in Canada. In-fact we are the largest event east of Toronto that contributes to the awareness and fight against lung Cancer.

This years Convoy is gaining incredible momentum. We are maintaining the new route selected last year (previously from Salisbury Irving Big Stop to the Aulac, Irving Big Stop) for the Convoy to travel from the  Salisbury Irving Big Stop through the city of Moncton, and coming together at the Moncton Coliseum for awards and to celebrate the survivors.

A bar-B-Q hosted by Scotiabank – matching proceeds, Live Music from 18 again, a live & silent auction, 50/50 draws, a $6000 Travel voucher raffle, Face painting, Special guests Lightning McQueen & Tow Mater (courtesy of Georges Deck & Recovery, PEI), and a live demonstration from the Moncton Fire Department.

We are anticipating a fantastic turn out from the community and are looking forward to sharing the hope of a cancer free future.

We are changing the conversation, raising awareness, contributing funds to the research, early detection and prevention, and supporting those affected.

A Special Thank You to our Long & short Haul

Sponsors: Element Financial, Midland Transport, Never Enuf Chrome & Detailing, East Coast International Trucks, Jeramand Trucking, Action Car & Truck, The Caisse Populaire, The Gear Centre, Irving 24 & Elite Fleet.

 

Our team has raised just over a quarter of a million dollars to date. Please join us in the fight on August 19th 2017, It’s a great day to celebrate the survivors!
