Ontario Truck Driving School

I had an awesome experience at OTDS! All of the office staff were very kind and always willing to help.I requested Rob Peren the day I registered for the AZ program, he is a great teacher. He’ll teach you everything you need to know to pass your test.I passed on my first try thanks to Rob, now I’m an AZ driver!!!! Thanks OTDS and thanks Rob Peren.

Absolutely great experience learning at OTDS Chatham! Everyone worked together great to cater to my schedule and definitely learned everything I needed to to obtain my AZ license! Enjoyed every moment of the learning experience.

It was a good experience it was professionally done the instructor was very helpful in pointing out the little things . it was good to know, the instructor made you feel comfortable and relaxed.

The training was fantastic. The respect and patience of the instructors was greatly appreciated when new to the course. Defiantly would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade to their AZ. I am way more confident in my capabilities because of my knowledge learned at the school! Thanks OTDS!!

Both Paul and Regis were awesome teachers and mentors in helping me get my AZ. Also, thanks to Christina for being so helpful with the scheduling!

The whole crew was great from start to finish! Very knowledgeable driver trainers and had a blast learning the basics and would recommend anyone thinking of commercial driving to go see the team at Chatham OTDS!

I had Regis for my trainer, and he was so wonderful. He was completely thorough and he worked very hard to help me understand Everything! I still hear him in my ears, giving me his knowledge as I drive the roads. His mountains of advice and stories from his career has equipped me well, and has kept me safe. I will never regret learning at OTDS!!!

I could not be more pleased with my experience at OTDS. From just getting enrolled to completing my courses everything was just pain & stress free. For AZ my instructors Paul, Regis & Mike were incredible. Mike at the end of my training gave me a huge level of confidence and I passed my AZ test with ease. The amount of knowledge I learned from all of them was beyond measure. The same can be said about my heavy equipment trainers, Tony & Alain. Every single staff member that I have met at OTDS were courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. They actually care for & about you, go the extra mile again and again and want to see you pass. (and celebrate with you when you do!!)I will actually miss them all as they felt like family in the end.There are many trucking/heavy equipment schools out there but OTDS sets the bar for all to follow, hands down. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

I had the course with Paul ( driving instructor) he was very patient and knowledgeable. He helped me get through my weaknesses and worked on me. I got my DZ in first attempt. Thanks paul and Christine.

Overall my experience at OTSD was really great. They mainly focus on learning the ways to pass your road test . However I do feel that the course should be more in depth for the amount of money that the course costs.... at least when it comes to reverse backing. They only teach two back up methods and mainly focus on a 90 degree backup which is what is on the ministry test. Being in the industry for a short amount of time I rarely use this method and had to learn different methods on my own . Regis and Paul are great teachers with many years of experience behind the wheel, they are very patient and accomodating as well. .Through them I was able to pass my test on the second try. Christina behind the desk is also really awesome at her job and was super easy to work with. I would recommend this school if you are looking to get your liscence in chatham .
