A Class 1, 2, 3 or 4 commercial driver's licence allows you to drive commercial vehicles — for example, taxis, ambulances, school buses and vehicles with more than two axles such as dump trucks and large commercial transport trucks.

For more details about the licence classes, see Types of licences. And note that the driving guide for commercial vehicles — Driving Commercial Vehicles — is available on this Web site in downloadable PDF format.

If you want to drive vehicles equipped with air brakes, you must have an air brake endorsement. See Air brake endorsements for full details.
