I remember in 2012 or 13 everyone was going to a heavy equipment trucking course, I didn't know they courses were still around. are these still worth taking? or is just straight AZ better? I don't want to name any schools or anything but are there any schools in Ontario that should be avoided or somewhere to find out any inside info? I really don't want to go somewhere and get screwed

"OTA was formally notified by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) today that effective May 17, 2021, individuals completing the Class A road test in a vehicle with an automatic transmission, including automated-manual transmissions, will be restricted from operating a Class A vehicle with a manual transmission."

IMO you'd be nuts to limit yourself to auto only.

when i went to crossroads in barrie in 2008 they were a good school and companies like schneider hire students from there. one thing i would recommend if you plan on driving for the megas carrier’s i would call them and find out which schools they hire from . i found out the hard way you can’t just go to any school to get your license and expect to be hired . after getting my license i had to pay another $3500 for a refresher course or no one would hire me
Farmtractor9900 and BigHossVolvo Thank this. -

I am from Ontario and when i called Schneider's and a couple of the other large carriers they said they had no banned or blacklisted schools.. I was trying to get them to tell me what schools they wanted people to go to but they wouldn't. I am planning on going to crossroads in august so i hope they are still well respected.
