We structure our behind-the-wheel training around the specific road environments and freight hubs where you will actually be working:

What’s Included

  • Brampton: Practice yard maneuvers, tight backing drills, and industrial road navigation right in the heart of Canada’s largest logistics hub.

What is a Class D (DZ) License?

An Ontario Class D license permits you to operate any motor vehicle or combination exceeding 11,000 kg (24,000 lbs) gross weight, provided the towed vehicle does not exceed 4,600 kg (10,000 lbs).

Adding the "Z" Endorsement signifies you are fully certified to inspect and operate commercial air brake systems—a strict requirement for nearly all heavy trucks in Ontario.

Common DZ Careers Include:

  • Municipal Waste & Recycling Trucks
  • Construction Dump Trucks & Concrete Mixers
  • Local Freight & Commercial Box Trucks
  • Fire & Emergency Vehicles
