I took their Class 1 Advanced Training classes. They were very serious about getting me trained,…read morelicensed and driving smoothly. They pounded a lot of information into me. They give theory classes on air brakes and then safety and road knowledge as well as situational discussions. Then they train you in the trucks. The units are a bit older (around 2000's), but I like the fact that I got to train on several brands of 18-speed tractor-trailers including 2 Internationals that looked identical but drove sooooo differently and a 5-speed coach bus. I worked those trucks hard learning and developing my skills. Pardon the pun, your mileage may vary in regards to the value of the price and how quick you can absorb it. It's very very difficult to find work fresh out of truck driving school unless you have a connection in the commercial driving industry to get you a good job. I do not have an uncle or a father or a good buddy truck driver so I am at a major disadvantage. Nobody really tells you how the industry does not like to hire new, inexperienced drivers, so that will be the biggest hurdle you will face when you kiss that class 1 license ICBC issues you when you pass and think you're going to earn the big bucks. However, I saved my money from 15 years grocery store stocker job and paid my own way, taking their $7390 course. They did give me a T2202 receipt for my taxes at the end of my course which came in handy at tax time. A lot of the Okanagan truckers that I met in the loading bay say Taylor Pro and Extreme Pro have a good rep which is how they got my business. These two are "separate" companies but work out of the same office. The point is, I trained with Taylor Pro, successfully earned my class 1 in BC with their guidance with four different instructors with four different styles, including one session with the owner. Their course took one month and I finished in December 2015, began throwing out resumes like crazy at the end of January 2016. On my resume I made sure to post that I got my license through Taylor Pro in case their reputation had an advantage or an employer graduated from Taylor Pro. I sent about 30 resumes, I did get callbacks from 5 or 6, and got 2 interviews and 1 company telling me they would hire me as soon as I got 6 months of experience. For now (March 2016) I work for a local moving company with a fair boss. I'm not making the big bucks of the long haulers or the oil patch drivers but my boss won me over by telling me he would get me home every night. I start most days at around 9am and finish when the job is done, between noon and 6pm on most days. I never see weird shift work anymore or graveyard shifts. I already make as much as I did at the grocery store and peak season in the moving business is still coming, May to September. Eventually, I will move onto a different driving job but I am happy and employed, Taylor Pro gets a fiver from me because of that.

The trainers were patient individuals and hard working. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to get into truck driving as a career.

This is one of many of Vernon's hidden gems. The Nature…read moreCentre provides visitors a first-hand opportunity to see and learn about the Okanagan's unique and diverse natural heritage through views, information, programs and displays of the region's natural areas. The Centre occupies the old Vernon Upper Air Weather Station overlooking the city of Vernon. (In the area that locals know as The Commonage.) DIRECTIONS - The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is located at the end of Allan Brooks Way, sitting southwest above Vernon, in the old Environment Canada weather station. From Highway 97 south of Vernon turn onto 16th Avenue, then left onto Mission Road. Continue as the road becomes Commonage Road. Turn left onto Allan Brooks Way and continue up the short driveway to the Centre. It is ideally situated on a grassland knoll at the confluence of the Okanagan and Coldstream valleys. Three lakes and five ecosystems can be seen from this site and spectacular, panoramic views of the Okanagan and its diverse ecosystems. Your viewing highlights - Watch for Yellow-bellied Marmots from April through September. In summer watch for Western Kingbird and Eastern Kingbird. While hawk and owl species use this area year round, the winter months from November to February are best for Red-tailed Hawk, Rough-legged Hawk, Gyrfalcon, Prairie Falcon, Snowy Owl and Short-eared Owl. Don't forget to bring a picnic and a camera!! http://www.okanaganvacationguide.com/vernon-bc.html A mention on this website of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre.
