Obtaining a Class 1 commercial driver’s license (CDL) in Alberta, Canada allows you to operate the heaviest and most complex vehicles on the road, such as tractor-trailers and large trucks. To get a Class 1 CDL in Alberta, you typically need to follow these steps:

1. **Eligibility:** Ensure you meet the eligibility requirements, which may include age restrictions, medical examinations, and providing a satisfactory driver’s abstract.

The guide will help you understand the rules of the road, including those specific to commercial vehicles.

3. **Written Knowledge Test:** Schedule an appointment with a registry agent office to take the written knowledge test. The test will cover topics related to commercial driving, rules of the road, and safety. You’ll need to pass this test to proceed.

4. **Air Brake Endorsement (if applicable):** If your Class 1 vehicle is equipped with air brakes, you may need to pass an air brake knowledge test and a practical air brake endorsement test.

5. **Training:** Consider enrolling in a driver training program or school that specializes in Class 1 commercial driving. This training can help you gain valuable experience and skills necessary for operating large commercial vehicles.

6. **Road Test:** Schedule a Class 1 road test through a registry agent office. During the road test, you’ll demonstrate your ability to operate a Class 1 vehicle safely. Make sure your vehicle is in good working condition and meets all safety requirements.
