    I took Valley out of Chilliwack, top notch training and the 2 instructors there are as good as it gets. I originally started at a different school that was supposed to be "training for professionals" but didn't like what I saw in terms of how it was run. I am very glad I went with Chwk Valley. There's some real tight stuff in Chilliwack, if you can learn to make those tight right turns where you block 3 lanes on the busiest street in town turning into a single without breaking a sweat, you'll be set in most urban areas you get into. Another advantage of going with Valley Driving in Chilliwack is that they have the highway, industrial area, city, and mountains all within a pretty close range.

    Give Winnipeg Motor Express a call 1-800-665-7266 low pay, low miles, but they do have a trainee program, always looking for drivers, but you will need a passport to apply. Not the greatest but at least you can spend some time there and get some OTR under your belt.
