Ontario Truck Driving School

I had Dale as an instructor. She was phenomenal. She is very hands on and direct. I passed my road exam with her help and a lil self study between lessons. Thanks Dale and thanks OTDS!

I recently completed my AZ license. I want to thank my driving instructor Bill for his great training and his dedication for his students.

I went here for two months for my AZ course and it was nothing but a good experience. The office staff are extremely welcoming and kind. The instructors were helpful and patient during my training and helped me improve my driving skills. Abdullah specifically was an awesome instructor. Overall I would highly recommend and encourage anybody who’s interested to go to OTDS.

The school was amazing, my trainer (Abdalla Osman) took an awesome approach to teaching and making sure I understood all the concepts of driving an 18 wheeler safely. I would highly reccomend this school to anyone looking to become a truck driver.

I recently completed my DZ license. My driving instructor, Dale, was one of the kindest people I have ever met.
I studied a bit outside of the 10 hour we worked together, but was able to pass easily because of those 10 hours and the things/pointers she showed me.
On top of being a great teacher, she is an even better person and really cared about my success even though we only spent 2 days together. Thank you Dale!

For the in class portion for the Z, I had Isaac as my teacher. By the end of that class I felt I could become a mechanic, he knew so much about every aspect of the trucks. He is also hilarious.

10/10 recommend OTDS. You have to pay a bit but I rather that & know I’m going to pass vs what my friends did who just tried the test studying themselves and 1) overstressed & 2) Failed multiple attempts.

I had a great time at OTDS being a dz driver when I started I had thought I didn’t need any schooling but I learned quite a bit. Rick seems stern, but after getting to know him he is a very nice man and very knowledgeable. Being a driver I had mentioned to some of the students I partnered with that the pre trip is the most important part if your not familiar with equipment it is our responsibility to make sure the equipment is safe, I wouldn’t have the patience he had for some of the students that thought it was all fun and games. Dan S was my in-cab instructor and the weird thing is we had met in the past when he delivered salt to my work. Again I learned more from Dan driving around then I thought would be possible thanks for everything guys keep up the good work.

Loved working with Tony, Allen, and Shawn. They were very knowledgable, and professional. Gus and his staff were amazing. Loved my time at OTDS.

I had class CZ training at the OTDS Windsor Ont location and I loved it. I learned so much thanks to the amazing instructors there. Eric and Paul were my trainers/instructors and they were so kind and eager to help. They were so very understating and patient with me. I also met Davey who was very nice and supportive. I really enjoyed my time at this school. Even the office administrators Coleen and Melissa were so pleasant and approachable. I sure learned a lot and had some good laughs while trying to understand and remember everything during my courses for my C class lisence and air brakes. The instructors are really educated in this field and are great teachers. I thank you all for all your time and efforts. The staff at OTDS Windsor location really want to see everyone learn, understand and grow.

Thank you so much
God bless

I took the AZ Plus Program. The office staff was very helpful friendly and professional. Instructor Rick did a very good job with in class and yard training. Instructor Cyril who did my dump training did a very good job training me. Instructor Issac who did my fork lift training did a good job in training me and he was also my instructor back in Oct 2022 for my Z endorsement and was awesome then too. And all instructors for zoom classes did a very good job as well. Finally My instructor for my in cab Mr Dan Mcilwain did an outstanding and professional job on teaching me how to drive truck for my first time ever. He kept on me to make sure I didn't make same mistakes over. And he did an awesome and professional job. Christine did a good job with my scheduling for zoom clases and in class and yard classes and Kim with sceduling my in cab and road test. Desiree scheduling fork lift and carriers edge. I will recommend OTDS to everyone to her there training done there. Just want to say to Gus the owner thanks for everything and your company is the best. And everyone did a very awesome and professional job. I would come back to get any training I need done with your company. Thanks again to everyone at OTDS.

I took the AZ5 course. AZ plus Heavy Equipment. Gotta say, this was an amazing experience! All the instructor were outstanding! They were patient, very knowledgeable, very understanding.and have a great sense of humor. Tony and Allain (sorry if I misspelled your name!) in Heavy Equipment are just fantastic guys and teachers! Really enjoyed Allains stories of his past work! They make learning very enjoyable! I had Rob as my AZ instructor and had a blast! Awesome teacher and really knows his stuff! He was very patient and understanding and helped push me through, even when I was struggling. He's got some great stories to tell and has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease! I'm really glad I had Rob as my instructor. Thank you dude, for everything.water included!
Everyone was amazing! As soon as you walk in the front doors, you're met with gals at the front offices who will do everything they can for you and are very light hearted! An absolute pleasure to talk to. Also, shout out to Luna.their little furry feline overlord!
Everything was awesome! No complaints what-so-ever!

Rob 'Rerun' Perrin is the best instructor anyone could ask for. He is genuinely only interested in helping his students succeed and get their 'A' license. Rob is Fun, Knowledgeable, and Patient. Get a copy of Rob's Greatest Hits. Read it, Listen to it and Learn it and then practice driving, shifting and backing. You will pass the exam. Don't listen to anyone but Rob, they will only confuse you.
Thank you Rob for Rob's Greatest Hits and all of your great little tips and tricks.
Put'er in B for Boogie buddy!

Great school, the entire team did a good job getting me ready for my road test that I passed, first attempt. Thank you all. Had a great instructor, Bill, he made sure I was ready, constantly providing the best support / teaching he could, doubted I was ready during my last training yesterday but he had faith I'd pass it. This school is definitely worth it, 10/10 recommend.

I was threatened to be killed by another student at this school and the supervisors were laughing and they did nothing. You will be treated based on your background at this place. No respect to others and once you sign the papers and pay they will show their real faces. Even the staff at the office insulted me for asking a question

The first time I went to OTDS just had a look, and I didn't make a decision. I finally choosed a truck school that has been worked with my application. Due to my schedule was not matched the school. I asked the manager: could you please recommend a good truck school for me? He said: it's "OTDS". Wow! "OTDS" that I have visited a couple of days ago.

I am grateful to Paul, he is the
best trainer. Not only he is always patient, but also allowed me making mistakes when training. Paul always encouraged me, and I felt more confident day by day. Of course, my driving skill is improved a lot.

I am also grateful to the truck training school for the recommendation and attend to "OTDS" for got my AZ license. I had a good time, and enjoyed the training with all trainers.

Thanks Paul, thanks all the trainers, and thanks OTDS.

Just recently completed OTDS. Had an amazing experience with everyone I worked with, I had the best instructor in all of Canada, Rob Perrin. He helped me get my license, taught me everything I needed to know to get my license. If I could give a 10 star I would! Highly recommended

I had some troubled at first, got a few extra lessons with an amazing instructor, and managed to pass very nice and helpful staff

I would like to thank Isaac and Dianne for a great experience during the Air Brake Endorsement Course. They were both very thorough with presenting the course material and answered ALL of the questions asked.

Just finished the full BZ course at ODTS. All in-class instructors were professional, friendly and knowledgeable in their fields. By far the best part of the program was the excellent driving instructor Dale. She teaches the material in a way that flows, makes sense and is easy to remember and is always willing to go the extra mile for her students. While driving she is tougher than the examiners at DriveTest which allowed me to pass on the first attempt. Anyone who gets Dale as an instructor should consider themselves very lucky!

Was a great place to learn. Even after I graduated I called my instructor Abdalla for advice on the company road test to be hired. I’m now enjoying my new career…thanks again

First I would like to appreciate your help with my DZ driving license. I recommend everyone to get a truck driving license through Ontario truck driving school. It’s the best place to learn truck driving.

I would recommend this 1000% to anyone looking for Class A or other license. Top to bottom everyone is helpful, Gus, Kim, Cathy, Christine. Sorry if i forget anyone. All the instructors are amazing Rick, Isaac, Mike Ferguson at sarnia and the amazing Rob Perrin cant thank enough. The school is there to help you.

Good facility been around awhile. I got just forklift license here and my roommate got his AZ. I’m going to come back here for my DZ.

I completed the Heavy Equipment Course and AZ program at OTDS. It was a great time, you have to put the work in, but with the help of the knowledgable staff at OTDS they give you all the information to successful. I had RJ for my driver instructor and with his cool calm attitude toward the training, I was able to be successful on my road test. Thank you RJ.

I attended OTDS for a wheel loader/skidsteer equipment courses as well as some private truck driving lessons to refresh my shifting skills.
Overall, the only downside is I found the organization to be lacking, people seemed scattered, like too much workload and not enough time. However, all the instructors were good natured and very knowledgeable in their fields. I definitely feel like I've gotten my money's worth on knowledge and training and I'd definitely recommend the school to anyone looking to do something new.

I had a good experience with the OTDS. The classes were informative and the instructors took their time to answer any questions my classmates or I had.

Given some scheduling issues the office and Gus were quick to accommodate and even provided extra instruction time. Dan, my in truck instructor, was patient with a couple of areas I found challenging and worked with me to get me going in the right direction.

Happy to report I passed my A road test on the first try. I’d highly recommend

London Ontario truck driving school is one of the best places I ever dealt with. They helped out so much and gave me somewhere to stay while I did my training. Tony and Alain are the best trainers and really are amazing people. I thank them so much for showing me what I can do and showing me I can be an amazing operator. If I can give them 10 stars, I would! Thank you guys. Highly recommend

An excellent driving school with the best instructors around. I would like to thank all the instructors for sharing all their knowledge with me and teaching me all the proper driving techniques. Allison for teaching me the theoretical side, a word of advice, pay attention in class, it will come in handy down the road! And the office staff for being so flexible with my full-time work schedule. This place is the REAL DEAL, I would consider this money and time well spent.
