What Class 3 lets you drive
A Class 3 licence lets you drive a single vehicle with three or more axles, and a three-axle vehicle towing a trailer without air brakes. Most Class 3 trucks use air brakes, so you also need a Q endorsement. This is the licence behind many roles in construction, delivery, waste, municipal work and oil and gas support. If you plan to pull an air brake trailer, you need Class 1 instead. See our Class 1 page.
What you need before you start
- A full Class 5 licence (not a GDL)
- An air brake endorsement (included in both Class 3 programs)
- The Class 3 written knowledge test at an Alberta registry agent
Training that mirrors the road test
You learn the vehicle inspection, basic control, parking and backing, turns, shifting and road skills the examiner checks. You spend your time in the truck, not on a slideshow. We tell you what to practise between lessons so every hour counts.
What our students say
This truck training company was very helpful in the completion of my class 3 license! Trainers were amazing and gave me everything I needed to know for the exam :) I recommend highly! Thanks again everyone!
I attended Maple Truck Training to acquire my class 3. I had absolutely no experience other than acquiring my air brakes. After completing my training, I was scheduled for my road test and the examiner canceled the appointment. They were able to schedule me another appointment for 4 days later. They then offered me a extra day of training the day before the road test for free. Which I happily accepted. I passed my road test with no issues at all.
The staff is very friendly and the instructor- Gary is very detailed. The cost is cheaper compared with other. … Worth every penny because passed the exam in 1st take. Definitely will recommend it.
