Southern Ontario’s
We love driving. We believe that becoming a professional driver is a noble occupation. Our world relies on us to deliver the things we need and transport people safely on our roads. Modern Training Ontario instructors are experienced truck drivers that understand why driving can be an appealing career choice for many people. They bring their passion for driving well to their work. Our students receive exceptional training. They learn to appreciate that safety and professionalism go hand in hand.
Our Difference
Modern Training didn’t become Canada’s leading driving school by being the same as everyone else. Our difference has helped us and our students stand out and succeed.
One on One Training
All in vehicle training is conducted one-on-one. One instructor. One student. There’s no audience or time spent riding as a passenger. You always have the full attention of your instructor, so you learn faster while learning in a safe environment.
Late Model Equipment
At Modern Training you only learn on late model, full dimension equipment. Freightliners equipped with full size sleepers and 53 foot trailers, equipped with all the latest on board technologies. Competitors often use 10-12 year old trucks. Why learn on obsolete equipment?
A Higher
Standard
We hold our students and our instructors to a higher standard. Technically, instructors require a minimum of 5 years experience as professional drivers. Modern Training instructors all have over 15 years experience, and our faculty has a combined 160 plus years behind the wheel. Experience counts.

Simulator Training at Modern Training Ontario
Learning to shift a truck with a standard transmission and back it up are critical skills needed to ensure your success in the trucking industry. Our Simulator programs provide students with self-paced training. New drivers can practice how to shift a non-synchronized transmission and learn the art of backing.
- Learn entry level shifting, advanced progressive shifting techniques, fuel management
- Simulate multiple drive train configurations
- The Driver Training Simulator offers adjustable road grades and vehicle weights
- Learn the basics of backing to allow for an easier transition to your in-truck training
- Practice any maneuver, including dangerous ones, in a realistic and safe environment
- Students experience the virtual consequences of their driving behaviors under a variety of realistic conditions (i.e. weather, road, and traffic conditions, isolated or in combination)
- Learn faster with lower stress, better feedback and less wasted time
- Control the learning pace in a controlled environment
- Develop realistic confidence as you progress from easy to difficult settings and from simple to complex skills
- View instant replays of your performances, including overhead views
- Practice specific skills until they can be performed automatically, e.g. from gear shifting to backing to fuel economy to roll-over prevention
- Receive reliable, objective performance scores
- Improve perception and anticipation of dangerous situations
- Experience the measurable benefits of safer driving habits
The simulator is no substitute for hands on training. It is a training tool that will allow you to practice shifting and backing as much as you want. Simulator training is a proven training aid and is designed to help build confidence and comfort with basic vehicle control habits.
Use your driving time to focus on more advanced driving techniques that can only be developed once you master the basics of transmission control and backing skills.
