    Quebec is one of Canada’s four major trucking hubs, contributing significantly to the national industry. The province’s strategic location and infrastructure enable the efficient movement of goods across North America. To become a truck driver, you must obtain a Commercial Driver’s Licence. The licensing process varies depending on the class of licence you apply for, but all applicants must pass a general knowledge test. Your knowledge of pre-trip inspections, air brake systems, safe driving practices and traffic laws will be evaluated with a knowledge test at a DriveTest Centre, where you must answer all multiple-choice questions before the timer ends.

    As you begin your learning phase, the official Driving a Heavy Vehicle manual will be your primary reference for studying commercial driving theory. Please read the contents of this manual at least once and occasionally revisit the material to reinforce your knowledge through repetition. However, the most determined students use active learning as one of the most efficient techniques for studying a new subject. They enhance their study sessions by consistently taking practice tests.

    You can adopt a similar approach and train with our Quebec General Knowledge Practice Tests. They are available 24/7, and you can access them directly from the browser of any compatible device. All 55 questions on this practice driving test have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. Unlike the official exam, our practice tests are not timed. Since there is no countdown, you can complete each training session at your own pace.

    The voice-over function can be toggled from the “Test settings” menu on the left side of the page. This feature can be useful for auditory learners, as hearing spoken words can increase retention rates. Each question has a detailed explanation of the correct answer, which is revealed after you select an answer. This feedback helps you learn from your mistakes and understand the material. For more complex topics, you may initiate a conversation with our automated assistant and request further assistance.

    Spend the next few weeks increasing your knowledge and building the skills that will make you a safe and responsible commercial driver. Avoid rushing through your learning phase; make full use of our practice tests to master this subject. Taking the time now to prepare thoroughly will set you apart as a true professional on the road.
