I have also been looking at both of the schools and interested to hear what others have to say both good and bad. Also interested to hear why the OP decided to head down south instead of staying in the Sudbury area.

I will be attending 5th Wheel Training Institute in New Liskeard for my AZ PDTI in May and thru my research they have a good school with free accomodations for out of town students (like me lol)
although forums are a great source you can google and search Youtube for info. a shout out to all who follow their dream -
Hyndman school is free as long as you stay on and work for them awhile
AJTrucker Thanks this. -
Manitoulin, although definitely not for everyone, is not the worst company to be affiliated with. Might be a good starting point for you. Also, Bison might be someone to check out as well, with you living in the north.
AJTrucker Thanks this. -

there seems to be some sort of stigma around running the states with the new driver crowd. If you can cross the border i highly recomend it, if only for awhile. Imagine maintained highways and turn pikes! truck stops that are a decent distance from each other, and when i say truck stops i mean actual truck stops with full services that dont close at 6pm.
with bison they are running a midwest run heavy wpg-midwest-ontario/PQ- white river switch - wpg
they also offer a canada only for TO- white river - WPG -Return but their paying drivers .37/m so you have to take a kick in the teeth to get what you want.
Bison's new driver program is also highway robbery, and they contuine it because people still sign on the line. be very weary of some of these programs. Arnold brothers is only 1 year and had you on full rate in 6months as long as you didnt screw it up, so keep that in mind.
also the big red team is 90/khr lol -
Maintained highways?? Been through Michigan lately???
-
MOSTLY maintained highways and turn pikes. and the turn pikes are where its at, rest areas with food and wifi. The Ohio turnpike ever have showers and tv rooms. -
