Top Notch

    

I don't even know if I can thank you enough for all that you did for us ladies! We spent 3 weeks with you and your instructors. Not all day, every day, but enough that your company was an integral part of our success to becoming Class 3 drivers.

Thanks to Sandy for the Air Brakes, Log Books, and PDIC instruction.

Thanks to Rob for the Edmonton Truck Routes and pre-trip training.

Thanks to my one and only driving instructor, Dennis. We shared quite a few laughs during our 20+ hours together. And while I told him a few times that there were times that I didn't like him, he made me get out of my comfort zone and I will never, ever forget him.

Anna, the way you juggled all of us women speaks volumes about you and how you handle your job. Gennaro is blessed to have you.

And speaking of blessings, Carmela and Bruno!! Wow, thank you so much for partnering with Women Building Futures and helping us along the way. Carmela, you have a heart of gold and always made me feel welcome and were full of encouragement.

And Bruno, LOL Thanks for coming to my aid when my car decided that it didn't want to listen to me.

Top notch group with top notch leadership.

Amazing Experience

    

I got my class 1 license recently through Gennaro Transport Training and had an amazing experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable and genuinely cared about my questions and concerns and helped me to succeed. I couldn’t find a cheaper rate in the city on the training total. The office staff were so positive and informative and you can tell they just want to see you get your license. They were so flexible with my work schedule. Overall I would recommend Gennaro to everyone I know. I didn’t get this same feeling from any other school I initially contacted. If you choose this school you won’t regret it.
