Ontario Truck Driver Test 01

Preparing for the Ontario Truck driver’s licence can be a daunting task, but the best way to ensure success is by taking the practice test.

It is important to note that the practice test is not mandatory, but highly recommended. It can be taken online or by visiting a DriveTest centre. Taking the practice test is a small investment of time that could pay off big when you are ready to take the real test.
