    All our new equipment comes with disc brakes. Nothing really to check.

    that’s great to hear that you guys have disc brake but the trucknews article is stating Ontario wants to change how you renew your Z air brake endorsement. Sounds like you go online and do a training module then print off a certificate and then pay a renewal fee

    Ontario eliminated the sticker & fee for passenger vehicles (still have a renewal for the plate) and they need to recover that money somehow.

    Sounds great, I love paying a subscription for digital goods, they make the module once and then rake in the money from multiple uses... was wondering when governments would realise how to print cash this way

    Considering a lot of drivers have next to zero clue about airbrakes in the first place it might not be a bad idea.

    might as well just write their A license at home too, with all the answers right there on google for them.

    It wouldn't surprise me if some (ahem) "New Canadians" do just that....
