Best Truck Driving School in the city by far! As a young mom with 2 babies under 2, I thought getting my DZ would be a tough and intimidating process but the staff at North Star made it an amazing experience.
From the first call I placed to inquire all the way to test day, Liz in the front office was kind, helpful and so organized. Ray taught the air brake course, and I went from someone who had no knowledge of trucks to someone who could tell you exactly how to build an air brake system and how every part works after 2 days. My instructor Mike, was beyond fantastic and prepared me to pass my

Northstar Trucking School went above and beyond their call of duty, to help me pass my AZ Licence, by helping me to train literally day and night with Professionalism, Leadership, encouragement and more.
I trained with Local Trucker Legends-turned-trainers, Scuba, Mike, Wayne and Mark, who all taught me life saving skills and professional technical skills when operating a Truck with Semi-Trailer. Manager Ray and Course Co-Ordinator Liz both looked after me like family. They are all legends working here.
They did more for me than just provide me a job. They saw my potential and lead me to a lifelong

4 out of 5. Once again nobody is perfect. When I called this school I was professionally welcomed by Liz who answered all my questions without any delay. Liz had also made it clear to me that they're school also offers 2nd road test at no charge to their students, just need to pay the $100 drive test fee. Liz also explained to me the importance of their students and how they want them to succeed, and that they want their students to succeed on 1st try but they know students get nervous which can cause a fail so by letting them know their failure won't cost more than $100 puts them at ease. Of course

I recently completed the AZ/flatbed training course here at Northstar truck driving school. And my experience was great. The instructors are very friendly, understanding, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this school to anybody looking to get their AZ or DZ. They have competitive pricing and they always put the student first to make sure you're more than prepared for your road test. They have a wide range of equipment giving you more real life experience rather than just jumping into the same truck everyday. All in all I have 0 complaints about my time spent at Northstar.

Given I had no previous experience in the trucking industry, I chose the 8 week AZ course to ensure I received as much training as possible heading into a completely new industry. Everyday was a good experience for me throughout the 8 weeks. Sincere thanks to trainers Don, Mark and Scuba for imparting your knowledge and abilities with great patience and personal accountability for the development of each student throughout their course of choice. Can't imagine a school out there with instructors who take the students successful completion of their training as seriously as these guys. Also thanks

Just completed my 8 week AZ truck driving course at Northstar. I was fortunate enough to pass my road test the first time around. This was possible because of the dedication, knowledge, and years of experience provided from the best instructors in the city of Windsor. I enjoyed going to school everyday under the guidance of Don, Mark, Scuba, and Mike. Thank you so much guys. The information you have taught and passed onto me will last a lifetime and I will take with me on the road. So thank you guys for your hard work and teaching us the skills needed to become a successful truck driver as well

From the moment I walked in the door and was greeted by Liz I was put at ease during one of the biggest steps I've taken in 22yrs. These people not only made me comfortable right from the start but it remained that way throughout. I had never driven a truck before in my life, but before i knew it there I was driving one like I actually knew what I was doing!! The time they take to teach and coach makes a world of difference.
I actually had the privilege of having Bob Labute, (the owner of this fine company) see me all the way through the course from start to finish as my in truck instructor and
