Transport Training Academy is a truck driver training facility operating from the same location as Transport Sales and Service, a medium sized trucking company who operate in Ontario and primarily the eastern half of the United States.

In designing our program we studied many other training facilities and their programs, and have combined the best elements and training methods into our program. Our written text is based on the Ministry of Education approved “Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council” courseware. We have also listened to the needs of employers, and our program addresses their needs. We offer facilities which include a modern classroom with the latest teaching aids, a 9 acre practice yard (Range), a fueling facility, truck scale, above and below ground docking, and repair shops. During classroom training you will learn among other skills, proper log book procedures, Bills of Lading and Pro Bills, defensive driving, air brake systems, knowledge of the Highway Traffic Act, height and weight laws for various jurisdictions, map reading and trip planning to name a few. On the Range, the student will learn the essential basic skills in preparing their vehicle and loads before going on the road. Pre-trip and Post-trip inspections, maneuvering, backing with a variety of trailers, lift axle operation, moving the fifth wheel, sliding the bogeys, docking (above and below ground docks) and many others.

Our on road part of the program will teach the student to handle various road and traffic situations, always keeping SAFETY as the most important factor. Our experienced Instructors teach the student hands on, such skills as proper turns, lane changing, merging with traffic, border crossing, and reading differing road conditions. Additional skills are also practiced including weight distribution, tarping, and proper load security, scaling loads, safe fueling practices, progressive shifting and others that make up the required knowledge of a Professional Truck Driver. Our equipment offers the student an opportunity to train on a variety of tractors and trailers.

After attaining their AZ license, the student does further training, handling real loads and gaining valuable experience hauling a variety of materials including, lumber, drywall and many others. This experience is what puts our graduates at the head of the line for recruiters.
