Negative experience: Don’t come to this academy they don’t give enough driving time to students plus staff is rude they are nice until they get money from your pocket day you paid they won’t even recognize you. They r so selfish fake promises. 90% your time they will waste in classrooms. They will put somebody else in your truck to practice in your time who are failed students cuz their students always fail. before my batch whole class failed cdl except one. If you passed any chance they won’t hire you cuz they know they don’t trust their students. Save your money stay away from this company otherwise you will end up your life in road.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Arnold Bros. Transportation Academy. Fred, our theory instructor, is an experienced truck driver with over 25 years of experience. He explains everything clearly and uses detailed tools like an AirBoard and an RC truck model to make the learning material easy to understand. My driving instructor, Bill, has over 30 years of experience and taught me in a simple and logical way, which helped me pass the Phase 1 and Phase 2 MPI exams with no errors, despite having no prior experience. The school is very supportive and accommodating, ensuring I was well-prepared for my exams. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I chose Arnold Brothers to take my class 1 training due to the convenience of living close by and because of there positive reputation. I was very satisfied with my experience. First 2 weeks in classroom was great , the instructor Fred is an awesome teacher, was a fun environment to be in which helped the 2 weeks of in class go by fast. The next 2 weeks in the truck we learned, pre trip, air brake and coupling, shifting/floating and got into some driving in preparation for the phase 1 (Coupling, air brake & pre trip) testing at Mpi, after passing phase 1 we moved onto the next 2 weeks focusing on driving, backing, turning , specialty turns, in preparation for phase 2 (road test). I was successful on both phases, on my first attempts , which I give all credit to my instructor Pritpal, who i was very fortunate to have been placed with, he is an amazing instructor, his teaching style was perfect for my learning style. After 6 weeks of training , i completed my MELT and Passed both MPI test and have successfully obtained my class 1 licence I highly Recommend Arnold Brothers to anyone who is looking to get there class 1.

Fantastic experience: Amazing school, from Angela at the front desk, to Bill my instructor. I took my class 3 with these folks, and I don't have a single bad word to say about my training. Bill has decades of experience, and it shows. I will be recommending Arnold Brothers to anyone who asks, they've earned my respect. *Edit* Just passed my road test today, 1st try, 100%. Really speaks to the quality of the school.

Negative experience: Avoid this school. The school manager is rude and always tries to one up anything you say. Totally unprofessional. Maybe time for retirement? The company participated in the trucker protests in February. If you have the opportunity to have government funding do not spend your money here. They have inexperienced instructors who don’t care about the job and talk about how bad Arnold bros is. How do you think that makes the student who spent ten plus grand with you??? Find a credible school with a good track record because this disgrace of a place should not be in any authority to provide training to up and coming truck drivers.

Negative experience: I wouldn’t recommend this school to my worst enemy. They have no problem taking 10,000 $ from you and running without training you. Horrible school run by thief’s. They had trucks participating in the rallies back in February as well. Do not take your hard earned money to this school.

Negative experience: A truck pulling your company name blatantly stopped, then ran through a RED light this morning. I guess they don't really care about the quality they provide if they are teaching drivers to run red lights when there is no reason to. This is a driver training company?

Negative experience: Hey friends, I personally had a horrendous time with Arnold Brothers. They were recommended to me by many friends as I was in search of air brakes, but it was near impossible to get ahold of their instructor Bruce Weimer. I called every month for about 8 months, as this was a pre-requisite for school. Of the 15 calls I placed, with voicemails regarding what I was in search of, I spoke with Bruce once. I honestly think he accidently answered the phone. Not a single return call. Any paramedic or Firefighter in search of airbrakes, I would suggest Buffalo driver training. They undercut the competition in price and were amazing with scheduling around my work along with good instructors who just want the best outcome for you. Upon stumbling across their school, I was in training within 2 weeks.

We’re very sorry to hear of your experience with our Academy, please accept our sincere apology. We’ve recently gone through a revision in all aspects of our Academy to better serve the needs of our students as well as the transportation industry as a whole. We welcome a number of EMS & Firefighter personnel for class 3 & air brake training into our Academy every month and consider it a privilege to serve their needs as they prepare for their chosen careers. Good luck & thank you for your service!

Fantastic experience: ABT Academy is a top-notch training center for aspiring Class 1 Professional Transport Drivers. The instructors are highly skilled and dedicated, creating a positive and supportive learning environment. Their specialized training provides students with the necessary skills and abilities to succeed in the highway transport industry. I personally took the course in 2019 and was able to secure employment before even completing it. The training I received at ABT Academy has been invaluable and continues to serve me well today. If you're looking for a top-notch education in the transportation industry, I highly recommend ABT Academy.

Negative experience: Not recommend Their trucks and instructors are too old. One of their instrctor was too proudy. Was repeating same thing "i have 28 year experience" . Even i found he was so racist. May be he had some trouble with east indian. Coz he was saying to me "you east are like this and that u makes excuse. "
