Driver Evaluation Program

Independent, On-Site Evaluations for Class 1 & Class 3 Drivers

We perform expert, on-site, independent evaluations for licensed professional Class 1 and Class 3 drivers. The program is designed for transport companies vetting prospective hires — and for individual professional drivers seeking an honest assessment of their operational readiness.

What We Evaluate

A structured, criteria-based assessment covering the areas that separate a safe, efficient professional driver from a liability on the road.

Regulatory Compliance

Hours of Service (HOS) review and full logbook/ELD verification against current federal and provincial standards.

On-Road Practical Assessment

Maneuvering, intersection negotiation, lane discipline, and overall professional driving habits in live traffic.

Yard Operations

Backing proficiency — including docking and tight-space parking — plus coupling and uncoupling procedures.

Technical Inspections

Air brake system operational knowledge and pre-trip / post-trip circle-check proficiency.

Efficiency

Progressive shifting technique and fuel-efficient driving habits that reduce operating cost and wear.

Transmission Versatility

Comprehensive evaluation across both manual (standard) and automatic transmission configurations. We assess the driver's ability to transition effectively, ensuring fleet managers understand that drivers proficient in manual transmissions can seamlessly operate automatic equipment, while also verifying that drivers trained on automatics are properly assessed for any standard-shift requirements. This ensures the driver is perfectly matched to the company's specific fleet equipment.

Defensive Driving & Hazard Perception

Assessment of the driver's ability to anticipate and react to road hazards, maintain proper following distances, and manage speed according to changing road and weather conditions.

Incident Prevention & Professional Conduct

Evaluation of situational awareness, including defensive positioning in traffic and overall professional demeanor regarding safety protocols and site-specific operational procedures.

Professional Mobile Evaluation Service

This is a professional mobile evaluation service conducted entirely on-site at the client's facility or arranged yard space. We do not operate a public training yard — equipment used for the evaluation must be fully insured and CVIP compliant.
