Truck Stops

Attention
Canadian truck stops are not what you are use to in the USA so be warned (this might be wrong for provinces other than Ontario because i have only driven in Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba). The only decent truck stops in Canada are on the 401 and 400 highways. Also some Canadian rest areas are primitive because they consist of outhouses or port-o-potties and picnic tables and are for cars.

Training

Check the trucking magazines and yellowpages for more training centers.

Crossroads Training Academy (AZ, BZ, CZ, DZ,).
Michelin Americas Truck Tires Videos and Demos Page
Xtra Lease one of the best trailer rental companies also has free Size And Weight Guide and other free info on their website (but you have to fill out a form for it).
