  • Top Tier Trainer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    “John is a top tier trainer, hands down he is the best in the business.

    I had never even driven a manual car and he took me from my auto car license to a pass on my HR open test.

    John is a real genuine bloke and he knows his stuff well, believe me he will get you there in the end, you just need to listen and trust him.”

  • Best on the Gold Coast !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    “John is the best on the Gold Coast, no doubt about it!

    I would like to extend my deepest thanks to John and the entire team at Gold Coast Truck Driving School for their incredible passion and expertise. From the very first lesson, John’s dedication to teaching the art of truck driving was evident. His mastery of double-clutch gearbox techniques and his ability to explain the most complex maneuvers with clarity made all the difference in my learning journey.”
