    Humber College is a reputable name. However, you need to know how to drive stick before going there, else they wont take you.

    There is one called 5th Wheel and another Transport Training Centers of Canada. Now they are not exactly in Toronto but not far. I think 5th wheel even offers to pay for your hotel stay if you join them. Both are very good. Best way to find out is to call a few real big companies like Schnider for example, and ask what schools they like.

    I myself went to Sprint Driving School - they are a private college, not really known but Schnider heard of them. They are accredited. But if I were to do it again, I would go to 5th Wheel or TTCC.

    The name sounds familiar, but I dont remember. Like I said, dont be lazy and call a few big companies that hire new students and ask them about the school.

    Hi Tzar,I did call Drive Logistics,Wolverine and Moe's to find out their recommendation afterwards I did speak to Richard's Trucking school also Humber but Humber requires you to know Stick shift before they'll touch you.Thanks for all your help@oriden953:Thanks for the suggestion I'll take at look at them.

    Just lie about driving stick, really doesn't help you that much IMO to know how before you hop in a rig.
