I took their Class 1 Advanced Training classes. They were very serious about getting me trained, licensed 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. read more

I took my class 1 through Taylor pro training and succended in obtaining my licence. I found their staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. 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. read more

The Vernon office manager is rude, the staff in the Kelowna office doesn't seem to know what is going on and were rude as well. I wouldn't recommend these people for training if they can't even get basic customer service down pat. read more

I looked at 3 different Driving programs in the Okanagan/Vernon area and was super impressed with the information and assistance that TAYLOR PRO provided while I was making my decision on which company to go with. When I did sign with them I thought that they did a great job of scheduling: classroom, road times and road tests were all posted in advance and where there were conflicts, the office staff worked with me. Instructors were organised, well informed and conveyed the materials in a clear and interesting way. This program, was my first experience with driving anything larger then an SUV and Taylor Pro gave me the skills and confidence to operate a tractor trailer with an awareness for not only my safety but for the safety drivers sharing the road. I had a Great Experience and if you choose Taylor I think you will as well. read more
