Apprentice Testimonials:

Charlene Foster - "The support I received from management, staff and fellow drivers gave me the confidence to excel in this program. I highly recommend this program for drivers looking for a career."

John Pilon - "I found that the apprenticeship program was a very valuable experience being a new driver. After 4 weeks with an experienced driver, it gave me the learnings and confidence to continue on my own in my new career as a professional driver."

Omar Lahouidak - "The apprenticeship program gave me more knowledge and practice as to what to expect as a real life truck driver. Having a coach beside me correcting mistakes or bad habits before I drove on my own gave me the confidence and ability to drive the truck safely!!! The coaches continue to be there for me when I have questions to build myself into a safer professional driver. A professional truck driver continuously drives safely and respectfully to keep everyone on the road safe!"

Justin Brideau - "Going through the apprentice program helped me gain the knowledge and confidence to become a professional driver. The four to six weeks with a driving coach to ask questions and help guide you through each day was amazing; from paperwork and log books, to learning different routes, to understanding how to do proper inspection on the truck and trailer. Overall, the program benefited me greatly and I am happy I didn’t just receive a set of keys and told here you go.”

Chris Kuizenga. - "Being in the apprenticeship program gave me the proper skills needed to succeed in this industry. The knowledge given to me by the coaches was instrumental in allowing me to become the driver I am today.”
