What is an AZ License?
An AZ license or MELT Program allows you to operate heavy commercial vehicles, including tractor-trailers, buses, and other large vehicles, all equipped with air brakes. This Class A license is essential for those looking to pursue a career in the trucking industry, as it signifies your expertise in handling these powerful machines and enables you to tow vehicles of any weight.
New Rules for AZ License
The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) has implemented new regulations to ensure that all commercial drivers receive the necessary training and are well-prepared for their roles. These new rules include a mandatory 103 hours of instruction under the MELT program, which covers classroom and in-vehicle training.
Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT):
The MELT program ensures that all new AZ license applicants receive standardized training. It covers essential topics like vehicle components, driving techniques, and regulatory requirements.
Z Endorsement:
If you’re transporting hazardous materials, you’ll need a Z endorsement. This endorsement indicates that you are trained in handling and transporting hazardous goods safely.
