Almost all trucking companies are insured by insurers that require truck drivers to have at least two years' truck driving experience. Most truck driver training schools will lie to you and tell you that the training they provide will exempt you from this requirement. You heard right - most will lie to you.
If you are serious about becoming a trucker, call several trucking companies first and ask about insurance coverage for new drivers. Almost all of them will tell you you need two years experience.
The only place in Ontario where you might get truthful and accurate information about exemptions from the two years experience rule is the Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council in Ottawa. (See link below.) There are one or two schools in Ontario that will allow you to be exempted.
Calling Schneiders in Guelph is a good idea, because they train their new drivers. There is another trucking in Mississauga that does the same. There is a significant cost involved for such training.
If you want to run the risk of getting your licence and not being able to find a job because you do not have two years experience, Humber College in Toronto is probably your best bet, but it is quite expensive. As far as private schools go, I've heard that Richards in Mississauga is probably the best. But what good is a licence if you can't get a job?
