A Tractor-Trailer Operator Theory | TRUK 150
The objective of this course is to provide individuals wanting to become professional commercial tractor-trailer operators with the necessary knowledge to meet the current hiring standards of the Canadian transportation industry. The course is designed to introduce each participant to their legal responsibilities in North America, outline the expectations employers will have of them, and develop a positive attitude toward the public with whom they share the road. During these classroom sessions, students will be taught their roles and responsibilities with respect to pre-trip inspections, defensive driving, the National Safety Code, route planning, preparation of logbooks, customer service, accident procedures, cargo/load security, transportation of dangerous goods, border crossing and job search techniques. Please note that as of July 1, 2017 Ontario's new mandatory entry level training (MELT) standard comes into effect. Programs with completion dates after July 1st may be subject to change. Humber's programs exceed all current MELT standards.
