AZ TRACTOR TRAILER TRAINING

Entry-Level Driver Training is now a mandatory requirement by law to obtain a Class AZ Driver License.

Crossroads Truck Training Academy (Barrie) is a registered MTO training center for delivery of the now required MELT Certified AZ License Training program.

ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS

Regarding training and testing in automatic transmission trucks, the MTO states:

“As of July 1, 2022, you must complete your Class A road test in a vehicle with a manual transmission that consists of at least eight forward gears with a high-low range, or you will get a restriction on your licence.

If you have a restriction, you cannot operate Class A/AR vehicles with a manual transmission in Ontario. You can only operate automatic, semi-automatic or automated-manual transmission Class A/AR vehicles.

The restriction will be noted on your driver record and driver’s licence.

If individuals wish to remove the Class A/AR manual transmission restriction, they must pass the Class A/AR road test in a vehicle with a manual transmission.”
