Ontario Truck Driving School (OTDS)

Hello everyone, I live in Windsor Ontario and want to start trucking, Thinking on going with OTDS. I want to either drive tractor trailer or if possible seeing theres a bit of construction going on now become a dump truck driver. School for tractor trailer costs $8000 and with dump truck training its about $9500 my question is, do I really need to do the extra dump truck training because when I checked the ministry of transportation Ontario is said class A and D as in together. Could I just do training for tractor trailer and just do an extra test for D license? Im really confused here, need some help. Thank you

 

yeah its quite expensive but it seems to be the trend with all of the schools, i really wanted to have an option of dump truck so if i dont need to pay that extra for training that would be sweet. Also they may provide some sort of discount due to me paying out of my pocket, hopefully

 

I have before, but that is 3 hours away from windsor, I didnt find pricing information but I cant be driving 3 hours before and after class everyday, too much and booking hotels 5 nights a week adds up too

 

Yeah it is very pricy, It would be nice if it was half that I wouldnt think twice. btw. CLass A in ontario you can drive dump trucks too correct?

 

In the end staying out of town will not be very economic, And I know #### well it isnt half that, its possibly the same if not more, Eitherway staying at a cheap hotel all those nights requires living costs, food ext. so not a practical option, it isnt MY terms, its just not logical. Thanks anyway Ralph
