Seems to us that back 20 years ago or more, professional drivers were respected by the public for their skill and that professional drivers respected their profession allot more than they do today.
That is our observation for what its worth.
We are trying to reverse the current trends and that image back to one of skill and respect.
We are looking for two skilled professional drivers who would really like to pass along their knowledge and expertise to the next generation of professional drivers.
What we do not want are drivers who simply want to come off the road but instead a couple of drivers who have taught in the past, maybe mentored new drivers on behalf of their Company or who always thought of themselves as a natural teacher, instructor, leader.
Being a Commercial Driver and being an instructor are two totally different things all together. They are not remotely similar. But if you have passion and you are willing to put in the effort, the career change is extremely rewarding.
People are recognizing our passion and commitment to quality professional driver training and our name is growing in Ottawa.
If you are interested in exploring a new opportunity in the transportation industry then apply.
Work includes presenting in class; leading discussions; discussing student progress with staff and management; working out doors with students teaching pre trip; air brakes; basic driving and backing skills.
We teach licence classes A (Auto and Manual), AR, D (Auto and Manual) and the Z endorsement
