Class 1 Specialized Truck Training
Focused skills development for eligible commercial drivers
Training overview
A large truck demands deliberate decisions, careful vehicle control and a consistent inspection routine. NEW ERA DRIVING SCHOOL LTD. provides specialized skills support for qualified Class 1 drivers who want to review their driving habits, return to commercial driving or work on an identified area of their driving.
Who is this training for?
This training is for existing qualified drivers and other applicants whose eligibility has been confirmed by ICBC. If you hold an out-of-province licence, confirm your B.C. licensing requirements before arranging training.
