Class D – DZ Driver Training
The Class D – DZ Driver Training program is designed for individuals looking to operate larger vehicles, such as straight trucks, buses and delivery vehicles, but without the need for a combination vehicle (tractor-trailer). This training ensures drivers are equipped with the necessary skills to operate these vehicles safely on public roads.
What is a DZ License?
A DZ License is a type of commercial driver’s license (CDL) that allows individuals to operate medium to heavy trucks, including straight trucks and buses, with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 11,000 kg. The DZ license is ideal for those who wish to drive vehicles like delivery trucks, dump trucks and small buses, but it does not permit the operation of a combination vehicle (such as a tractor-trailer).
To obtain a DZ license, candidates must complete a training program that covers road safety, vehicle operation and industry regulations, followed by passing both written and road tests. The DZ license is often a stepping stone for those wishing to pursue more advanced qualifications in the transport industry.
