Brian is the best, he is about his job. He will get you on the right path and make sure you pass. I know, I was probably the hardest person to train. I didn't know how to shift gears or even drive a stick shift. Lou trained me well. I can drive one now. Les and Spencers were great they would always give me pointers. But, everyone learns at their own paste. If you want to be trained by the cool team and want people who can work with your schedule then go see Brian and his crew. Thanks Brian and crew you guys are awesome. Thanks for never giving up on me.

I took a 4 week training course and the teacher was very patient and helped me learn everything hands on. Didn't spend a lot of time in the classroom spent it all in the truck which was a great help. They were also very supportive throughout my driver test even though it took me 3 tries because I kept getting nervous for some reason.
