TORONTO – Arrow Truck Sales and Markham, Ont.-based online driver training tools provider CarriersEdge have announced a partnership that will see the pre-owned truck retailer offering the CarriersEdge-Humber College Certificate in Small Business Management for the Trucking Industry with each truck purchase.

Provided by CarriersEdge and Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, the course is North America’s first post-secondary program designed specifically for professional drivers and offered completely online.

The program includes safety & compliance courses from CarriersEdge, as well as business skills courses from Humber College. Upon completion of the eight courses in the program, participants receive a certificate from one of Canada’s leading post-secondary institutions.

“Arrow is always eager to help our customers be as successful as possible in their businesses,” said Adam Davy, branch manager of Arrow Toronto, in a press release. “This Certificate includes a great set of tools for doing just that, and we’re very excited to offer it.”

Arrow will offer prepaid tuition in the certificate program as an add-on for purchasers of pre-owned vehicles through its Mississauga location.

“Arrow understands that for its customers to be successful in the trucking industry, they need to have a strong knowledge of regulatory issues as well as business skills,” says Mark Murrell, president of CarriersEdge. “The certificate was designed to help owner operators in exactly those areas and we’re extremely happy to have Arrow offering it to their customers.”
