Troy was very responsive when I needed training scheduled right away. Scheduling training and certification was seamless. Would recommend to employers looking for a great onsite training and certification option for their equipment.
Our owner and employees recently completed forklift training with Troy, and we couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.
