Driving School

I started at sage trucking and found myself set up for failure, when I was done with class work I was ran through a pretrip and a in cab twice and was handed a drive schedule and was told sink or swim, during a three week time off I was taking care of my 95 year old grandfather who fell and died within those 3 weeks so I also had a funeral I attended and all sage trucking could call and say is you have to get it done !!!!!! I felt like I was forced into a test set up to fail ! I then went to Apex training program and told them my story and what I lacked for a driving test , I spent the next 2 weeks going over pretrip, backing and shifting with instructors who all taught equal same course tactics and training that help me finish with success!!! I would recommend Apex trucking to everyone because they Got instructors who care about there students success and want them succeed, thanx Apex .

Instructional technique was given as should be to an individual with much experience driving. New driver's beware, the lessons are designed for people who are far more adept at vehicle operation. If you struggle with any concepts do not expect to have the opportunity to fine tune them, rather aimlessly adjust between snippets of rushed verbal instruction; No chances to truly understand the errors made are had which highly hinders learning. Irrelevant and prying interrogation takes time away from learning, and instead serves to reduce the output of instructor effort; Referring to aimless chatter that makes the student uncomfortable as training for distracted driving is a poor way to cover inadequate teaching. Additionally, some very insulting implications were made about the author by the instructor. Having a personality that differs from the masses and a learning style that requires precise verbal input for results is not something to speak obscenely about. The shortcomings of an instructor are not determined by a student, especially one trying their hardest to follow instructor critique and never having driven with an instructor before. I would advise any novice drivers, especially those virgin to the driving instructor experience, to seek elsewhere. You will not find success if you do not match the majority of students passing through this school. The experience was a waste of time and money, as I did not even receive a full lesson due to the instructor expecting a complete understanding of every concept prior to entering; Driver theory is the key to earning the Learner License. Despite this, theory applies to reality in ways that are nigh impossible to practice without firsthand experience. The expectations of the students prior experience are unrealistic. Finally, the disrespectful behaviour of the instructor to the student post-lesson is unacceptable. It would be a wise reminder that the currency of disrespect is non-refundable. I would not reccomend this product or service to a friend.

These guys were very friendly and there was no wait. The person I spoke with went beyond the call of duty to offer advice.

The program was amazing! It made me realize that I want to be a Mermaid

This school is awesome! The staff is all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the trucking industry. The instructors have patience and I loved going to school there. It's great to work with these professionals towards a class a license! If you listen and soak in what they teach you will learn a lot. Job placement is great and even after a couple years are helpful with leads for jobs.

the trucks for training is very old there is one instructor his name is john do not go with him he is a miserable instructor all he knows is to act like he is the head of NASA and always shouting show bad attitude the other instructors are good. sometimes they put 4 people in one truck which is not acceptable you do not have enough time to practice when you fail they blame you. then they ask you for more money

Used to wait at least 20 minutes in other Service BC Centre, mainly Vancouver, so was pleasantly surprised to be in and out within 15min with great client services.

I had seen this school advertised through several different mediums and was looking forward to going there, but after talking g to a handful of folks about the place and reading the reviews I'm going to have to pass for somewhere else... Even if I have to drive a little ways out of town, I hope the management there ups it up a bit and polished up their repetoire.. best of luck

National Truck n Bus driving school has some of the best instructors there is Lucky is very caring about teaching and getting the information u need even makes appointments for you at the DMV and can get one at the last minute. Some times he wears to many hats and not able to give you the quality time u need but he will make up for it. Like everything needs improvement like their bus but Lucky was able to work it until the last day of use and l graduate on that day. Thank you Lucky

In Bay Area very good school👍

I would like to write about my experience with A1 trucking school. Paul was very flexible with my work schedule I only went to school ones a week I learn everything in 12 days. The instructors are very patient with each every student they have. Todd and Edgar where awesome instructors to me thank you guys. They also thought me how to drive stick shift when I first came to A1 trucking school I had no idea how to drive a manual truck. What I also liked about this school they had multiple trucks for students to learn the skills air breaks etc. Now I got my class a license Thanks to A1 trucking school

I know your a lousy school because you turned me down after I told you that the Veterans were paying for it . I can remember how you looked when you did . And what you said to me too .

Always clean.

Ellis is accommodating and a great teacher, he teaches you the routes and exactly what you need to know to succeed.
