Our Training Vehicles
We offer Class 4 Restricted, Class 5 and Class 7 training with our 2018 Toyota Corolla and our 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. With the gas powered 2018 Toyota Corolla and hybrid/electric 2020 Toyota Prius Prime we can offer our students training on all three leading technologies: gas, hybrid and electric.
For Class 3 lessons we use a Mack Vision day can equipped with a 13 speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission. We will be offered Class 1 instruction when we find a suitable trailer. We hope this will happen in the near future. The Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo truck dealers are looking for a suitable trailer for us.
