Donovan's driving school is by far the best training school in the Edmonton area. Since obtaining my class one license, less than a year ago, I have hauled reefer, dry vans, and flatdecks all over canada and the US. I continued further to now owning and running my own company with a fleet of trucks. THANKS DONOVAN!!
