Unreal. Driving is too simple a task to be a red seal trade. What a joke

So will those of us who've held a Class 1 for years be grandfathered? Or will we be forced to jump through a bunch of bull#### hoops in order to keep our license?

Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Also, the Red Seal is an interprovincial qualification, so does this mean every province will be adopting these standards as well?
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
It's hard to say as they are still rolling out information on this. But I'd think alberta class 1 holders get grandfathered....but it's a government program so who knows.
Other provinces will probably follow suit after alberta gets the bugs out of it, realistically could be years before that happens as it looks like the first drivers under this program would be completing the program in 2027 or 2028 maybe?Another Canadian driver and AModelCat Thank this. -
More Alberta companies will be plating elsewhere. A trade falls under fair labour standards act
BigHossVolvo, Canadianhauler21 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
How does that affect things? I'm not familiar with the impact that act would have.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I just hope they don't screw with us existing Class 1 license holders.
Another Canadian driver and Albertaflatbed Thank this. -
Yeah, no kidding!
