Hi there,
I got my class 3 not too long ago and I was told that I have weight restrictions as to what I can and cannot haul around town or the province. And I was also told about what kind of truck I can drive (eg Kenworth T370).
My question is are there any restrictions on weight and type of truck or was I feed a load of bull?
