KRTS, THE BEST TRUCK TRAINING ACADEMY IN ONTARIO, BAR NONE. VERY PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS INCLUDING DANGEROUS GOODS TRAINING. KIM RICHARDSON, THE FOUNDER AND OWNER, A PERFECTIONIST. I’VE KNOWN KIM, GOING BACK MANY YEARS. MYSELF, NOW RETIRED AFTER 38 YEARS ON THE ROAD AS BOTH AN O/O AND COMPANY DRIVER AND TRAINER WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND KRTS AS A PREMIER TRAINING SCHOOL TO GET A SOUND FUNDAMENTAL FOUNDATION TO A GREAT CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER. THE EXTRA FEW DOLLARS SPENT AT THIS FACILITY IS WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. ME AS A COLLEGE GRADUATE IN BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING OPTED FOR A REWARDING CAREER IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY. MANY YEARS AGO KIM TRIED DESPERATELY TO GET ME TO JOIN HIS TEAM IN CALEDONIA BUT OPTED TO STAY BEHIND THE WHEEL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK IN TRAINING SAFE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE DRIVERS WHICH IN TURN MAKES OUR HIGHWAY MUCH SAFER WITH WELL TRAINED DRIVERS

Great article, good to hear someone speak the truth and not glorify it.
I started in trucking in 1984, from washing and inspecting trucks to slowing working my way up through straight truck before driving combination vehicles.
Everyday is a school day, I have logged over 100,000 hours, travelled over three million miles and I am still learning.
The MELT programs are a good start but definitely not enough to cut anyone loose or consider them a skilled trade.
