A Little More on Truck Driving

The Conference Board of Canada expects that the truck driving industry will need 25,000 to 33,000 new truck drivers by 2020. Some drivers will be needed to replace the retiring workforce, while some may be needed due to the expansion of the industry. We have motivated many young people from high schools and introduced them to class 1 truck driving, while providing them with opportunities to train for a truck-driving career.

At Parkway Driving Academy, we’ve developed an education system that produces competent commercial vehicle drivers to serve the industry. Give us a call today to check out more about our training options.
