About the Nova Scotia Straight Truck test

In Nova Scotia, this is Class 3, issued by Access NS. The questions below are labelled for Nova Scotia, using Access NS's own terminology and thresholds.

The straight-truck class, Class 3 in most provinces and Class D in Ontario, covers heavy single-unit trucks with three or more axles that are not pulling a separate trailer, such as dump trucks and large delivery trucks. The whole vehicle sits on one rigid frame, so the test leaves out the combination-vehicle content of the tractor-trailer class.

Instead it focuses on heavy-vehicle handling, axle and gross-weight limits, load securement under National Safety Code Standard 10, the daily inspection, and the federal Hours-of-Service rules. If the truck is equipped with air brakes, you need the air-brake endorsement as a separate result.
