Class 3 Truck Driver Training
Build a consistent approach to commercial truck operation
Training overview
A commercial truck responds differently from a passenger car. Class 3 training at NEW ERA DRIVING SCHOOL LTD. concentrates on understanding the vehicle, leaving enough space and developing controlled driving habits. Instruction can focus on the areas that need attention, whether you are moving into larger vehicles or refreshing existing skills.
Who is this training for?
Class 3 is associated with trucks that have more than two axles, such as certain dump trucks and large tow trucks. Vehicle and trailer limits apply. Confirm that Class 3 is appropriate for the vehicle you intend to operate.
