Our History

Hopfe Training Centre was established in 2010 as Third Day Training Centre. It was founded by Eugen Prokott and his wife, Lotti. They carried on the local solo truck operation and when they retired, passed ownership on to one of his former students, Jordan Hopfe in 2020.

In his new role as owner, Hopfe continues to offer the same high-quality service and training while adding his own energy and ambition to grow the business into being able to provide training to anyone in South East Saskatchewan.

A Word from the Owner

“I value safety above everything. Every maneuver done in my unit needs to be planned and executed perfectly. Everything from driving forward, reversing, to something as simple as a turn takes many attempts and steps in order to do it properly and safely.

I pride myself on providing the most accurate real-world scenarios to my clients. I am not just a teacher, I am a mentor, which is why I’m happy to be included on their resumes and drive along with them before interviews to make sure they’re confident in their skills. They’re on the road to their future, so the least I can do is help them on their way to become safe and valued truckers in the industry.

I believe in professionalism and punctuality. Be on time and show me that you value mine, and I will do the same for you.”

Jared Christensen

“Took the class this summer with the new 121 hour MELT program, and all I can say is that it was a breeze with these guys. They are very professional in what they do, and it was very clear to me that if you take the training with these guys, that there is absolutely 0 % you would be walking away without your class 1 licence. They were awesome.”
