Reviews of North American Transport Driving Academy (Driving School)

Jeremy Keefe

Great business to deal with, professional and polite staff.

Brandon Daigle

Huge thanks to the team at North American for fitting me in so quickly and providing amazing support. I was under a tight timeline to meet a job posting requirement and the team pulled together to bump up my re-test date, provide some additional information that I didn't receive with a competitor and had me test-ready. Wish I came here first. Happy to say I passed with flying colors! Highly recommend North American for training.

I went to North American transport driving academy to take my ACZ license. The instructors were amazing they worked one on one. They worked around my schedule and concentrated on my weak areas where I need more attention. They were all very patient and professional in their teaching. The instructors were Dave, Andy and Robb. They all encouraged me in everything I did. I would recommend North American to anybody that wants to upgrade their license. They are even going the extra mile to find a company that I can drive for . Which is amazing . I don’t know of any other transport driving academy that is better than North American.

Dave Gill

As an instructor I am impressed with the amount of detail in this program as it covers just about everything in the transportation industry

Brad Marko

While there are numerous truck driving schools to choose from, they are not created equal – only North American Transport Driving Academy has the most truck time of any school. They provide actual hands on experience and partner you with experienced drivers for mentorship and guidance. I love the in-house job placement - 6 weeks and working! Best course in town at a price no one can beat - thank you North American Transport Driving Academy!

Before joining any school for my AZ License, I googled a lot and went to many schools to make a choice. I saw so many awards and bold statements in their website. I thought these are just to attract the students BUT they are genuine and true to the roots. So, I went with these guys and I made it in time and I am now a proud commercial licensed driver. I started with 4 classmates and we all got our AZ license !! I would love to recommend this school to anyone who wants to go for their AZ.

David Thompson

So far it is enjoyable. I’ve only finished the first week so will keep adding to this as a progress.

N Proulx

I needed a DZ in a hurry for work. The whole staff were able to accomodate and get me to a road test in time. The instructors are excellent and dont count their time. I received above and beyond instructional service. When one instructor was away dealing with paperwork etc another would just jump in and test me. I aced the practical and it is an easy 5 star review from me. Highly recommended.

Geoff Pearson

Had an amazing experience. The instructors Dave and Frank were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Would recommend this school to anyone looking to become a trucker. I myself will return next year for my A.

Eugene Summers

I am currently working on getting my ACZ license with the Kingston branch. The instructors and staff are truly amazing and go far beyond the mere requirements of training you. I have had trouble passing the road test as I freeze during testing. This is not a fault of the school, support or training. In fact they have gone even more beyond to employ me and help me get the confidence to pass with on the job training. I have recommended the school to a number of people in the past few months and will continue to in the future. If anyone is looking for a great fundamental start to a great career then North American Trucking Academy is definitely where I would recommend without hesitation.

Being new to the school and the industry itself, I am impressed with the way the instructors work with each student to ensure their success ... both in the classroom and in their safety on the roads. Yes, it's a learning experience ... but it's so much more in the way students are supported right from the first inquiry about the school through to graduation. Proud to be part of the team here at North American.

Shane Racz

Thank you North American! This school will wait for you to understand, they are patient and they work with you. If you have problems or it takes longer to understand they work with you and guide you through the learning process. They gave me a job while I was in school to help with expenses. Today I got my DZ License!

Jamal Qadir

Staff and the instructors are very knowledgeable and care about the success of the students and focus on your future career as a truck driver.

Chad Casselman

My experience at North American Transport Driving Academy Kingston Campus was great!! The instructors, staff and owner were awesome. You couldn't ask for anything better from a school! They worked with me every step of the way, never giving up, to complete my goals and today I passed! I jumped out of the truck with excitement and now my new career can start. Thank you North American!

Mike Thompson

Good school, great teachers. Everyone is always willing to help with whatever you need

Jamie Woodcock

I went to North American Transport Driving Academy 9 years ago! Back when it was just Paul and Rob instructing. The instructors were amazing, they worked one on one. They taught me not just the basics but details from their years of experience too. I don’t know of any other transport driving academy that is better than North American. And I still work for this company to this very day !

Fadi Rafayel

Great place with really professional staff that will do their best to get your license. Highly recommended if you want that license. Jodie is my favourite.

I went to Crossroads which is now Ontario trucking to get my DZ and I was not happy with their program or their teachers. So I went to North American Transport Driving Academy to get my ACZ. They have best instructors for you to work with one on one. When I wasn't getting along with one of my teachers I talked to the owner Jason about what was going on. Jason made my course very enjoyable because he gave me the instructors that were the best fit for me and there names are Dave and Andy. They have a lot of patience and they are professionals and know what they are doing. North American also has only 1 week of in class. Crossroads has 2 weeks in class so they can save money instead of getting the practice you need for your on road Drive Test. I would recommend everyone that is reading this to go to this school because they will help you find a career even after you have graduated. Now I am going to Kriska for a Entry Level Mentorship and they will pay for my tuition reimbursement and after completion of my apprenticeship they will also give me $2000. North American got me on track for a great and successful career.

This is really good school to go for learning . All staff members are helpful as recently I got my license from here. My experience was great and I got a lot of things to learn from here. Special thanks to Ben and all the teachers.

North American

Course content was up to date and instructors took great care in teacher students. Shift board had some confusing stages during the course, however I am sure it will improve with time. Instructors had great knowledge of course content and seemed to care about the students understanding of course material. I would recommend this course to others.

Chad Davey

Came to North American on word of mouth and was not disappointed! Dave and Frank are great.

Jonathan Riddell

For anyone looking for commercial driver training in Eastern Ontario, they need not look any further than North American Transport Academy. Jason, Ben, Serge and the entire team went above and beyond at every step of my son’s training. They built a custom program that accommodated his learning disability, succeeding where traditional education had failed. In addition to providing extensive classroom and on-road training, they instilled driver responsibility and self-confidence. When my son struggled with his drivers test because of his disability, they were incredibly non-judgemental, and persevered as if he was family. Their commitment to training safe, successful and professional drivers is clear from the outset, and now my son is one. Not only did this open employment doors for him, it sky-rocketed his self-esteem. The North American Transport Academy is a first class organization, and I give my heartfelt endorsement.

Barry Turcotte

Good instructors. Teach you a lot. Knowledgeable.

tyler thompson

Great instructors with lots of knowledge, course is very well laid out. Lots of time behind the wheel. Got my license and had a job driving the next day.

Glen Kersey

My experience at North American Transport Driving Academy was great. They were friendly, professional and accommodating. I acquired everything needed for all testing, and, to compete in the job market.

Pat Millar

I took my course there over 16 years ago! Never looked back. I was driving the night I passed my test with the MTO. They placed me with Sysco foods and have been driving ever since. I am now an owner/operator with two trucks.. I still call and ask questions and always get a welcoming response and answer ! Always continuing education!

Chris Roy

Excellent school to go to. I learned a lot with in the six weeks I was at the school that has boosted my career in the trucking industry. The trainers are great out going guys that encourage you every step of the way. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start there career as a professional driver.

Taylor Fitzgerald

very good instructors good truck easy going fair priced courses safe

Stan Volotivskyi

Excellent!!!

tony Cubanito

Past training in the U.S. was nothing compared to the course here. There, I was shown how to drive the expected test route with three days of training in a single axle, automatic vehicle and all written answers handed to me. At North American, I learned much more about safety procedures, log sheets and had lots of time to practice in the truck ... with and without the trailer. Dave's a great instructor ... great experiences with him. Looking forward to applying what I have learned at North American in my career here in Canada.

Brian Saliba

I had a great time in the class with the instructors and staff! They know a lot and allowed me to learn so much. I'd like to thank this course and the whole school for meeting with me early, for good conversation and most importantly for giving me the textbook early because I have some trouble reading. I was able to come in early to practice in the yard and use the classroom for studying pretty much anytime I needed. I'd like to thank all of the instructors, Ben and Christine for making me a safer and better driver.

Manjot Singh

This academy is very professional if anyone wants to achieve A license. I also got my Class A from here. Everyone worked very hard and I always had access to truck and trailers to practice myslef in yard in my free time. I also got job there. So it is complete package to have training and career. ✌✌✌ I reccomend this institute to those who want to be successful.

Dalton Harding

Will Hunter

Great staff with over the top training going above and beyond for the students.
