ARNOLD BROS. TRANSPORTATION ACADEMY

is much more than a driving school...

I have always wanted to drive a tractor trailer. How do I get started?

What are my chances of getting a job after taking a program such as yours?

I hear that class 1 drivers make a lot of money. Will I be able to make lots of cash once I get my license?

I am a business manager, and I want to do some training and development work with my staff. How do I get started?

I see that you people are involved with ISO 9000 work. How do I know if there would be any benefit to getting registered to the standard?

The first thing you need is a class 1 driving license, and one of the best ways to obtain that is through a school with a reputable professional class 1 driving program. Some of the things you should consider when selecting a class 1 driving school include:

the quality of facilities and equipment,
the length of the program,
how much classroom time, in cab time, and actual drive time are included,
the placement and employment rates of graduates.

You can contact the Academy at any time and our staff will discuss your options with you.

What are my chances of getting a job after taking a program such as yours?
First of all, we should be clear that – under the law – no Private Vocation Institution in Manitoba may guarantee a student or prospective student employment. This law is for the protection of the student. At the same time, there is a severe shortage of Class 1 drivers across Canada. Employment opportunities exist for entry level drivers with a variety of companies.

I hear that class 1 drivers make a lot of money. Will I be able to make lots of cash once I get my license?
In short, no probably not at first. Like many other careers and jobs, the earnings potential increases once you gain some experience. The drivers that are making the best money usually have several years of experience. That having been said, there is no reason that you cannot earn a decent living and increase your earnings as you gain experience.

I am a business manager, and I want to do some training and development work with my staff. How do I get started?
Likely the best place to start is by answering a few questions. These include the reasons you want to do the work, any problems or challenges you may be facing that need to be addressed, and what the desired outcome is that you are looking for. We can help you through that process, and help you identify suitable alternatives to help you meet your needs.

I see that you people are involved with ISO 9000 work. How do I know if there would be any benefit to getting registered to the standard?
Many companies have found that they gained real benefits from the process of registering to the standard. Not only was it an advantage in marketing to customers, they found that it helped them bring a new discipline to reviewing the internal processes they had that were critical to their success and to meeting their customers’ requirements. Some companies have used the elements of the standard to help shape their management system without actually registering to the standard. We can help lead you through the process of deciding whether pursuing an ISO 9001 system registration is right for your business. There is no charge for an initial consultation meeting.
