This section is required for all commercial licence classes. It encompasses an array of topics that every commercial licence holder must know regardless of their specific licence class. These topics include understanding traffic laws, safe driving practices, basic vehicle operation, handling emergency situations, and more. You'll also learn about the effects of fatigue, distraction and impairment on a driver's ability.
Class A lets you drive a wide range of commercial vehicles, like tractor-trailers or flatbeds. You can haul any size trailer with an A license. The "Z" in "AZ" means you have an air brake endorsement. That means you've proven you know how to use air brakes, which are often used in large, heavy vehicles. Make sure you also complete the "Air Brake Endorsement" section below. The Class A knowledge test covers general trucking knowledge, safety protocols, and large vehicle management, including specifics of handling large trailers.
A Class B commercial license allows you to drive vehicles such as school buses, special activity buses, and any bus with designed seating capacity for more than 24 passengers.
A Class C licence allows you to operate buses designed to carry more than 24 passengers and ambulances. This includes city buses, coaches, and other large passenger vehicles. The Class C knowledge test covers large vehicle and passenger management, safety protocols and transportation in a public transit setting. The cost includes application and test fees, with tests including written and road components.
A Class D licence allows you to drive heavy trucks and tow larger vehicles. The Class D knowledge test encompasses general commercial vehicle operation, safety, and handling of heavy vehicles. With the written and road test involved, the fees include application and test costs. As with the AZ, the "Z" tells people you can operate vehicles with air brakes. Make sure you also complete the "Air Brake Endorsement" section below.
A Class F licence allows you to operate regular buses not carrying more than 24 passengers, such as an ambulance or small bus. The knowledge test would involve specific understanding of operating lighter passenger vehicles and handling of vulnerable populations. Costs include both application and test fees, with associated exams structured as written and road tests.
For Class A, C, and D, anyone planning to drive commercially would be strongly advised to get the air brake (Z) endorsement to increase their eligibility to drive more vehicles. For Class F, however, these types of vehicles can vary with some having air brakes and some not. So, for Classes B and F an air brake endorsement is useful, but not necessarily as common as with Class A, C, or D licences.
