Ontario first in Canada to introduce mandatory entry-level training for Class A truck drivers
To keep the province's roads among the safest in North America, Ontario is introducing mandatory entry-level training for new commercial Class A truck drivers.
Individuals seeking a Class A licence in Ontario after July 1, 2017 will need to successfully complete mandatory entry-level training before attempting the Class A road test. Individuals who already have a Class A licence before this date will not be required to take training.
