And FTR, I don't think that class 1 in necessary for the truck he was driving. calss 3 probably, but whatever, licenses are too easy to obtain all across the board.
I think that there is some driving school in the NW selling class 5 drivers licenses to certain ethnic groups regardless of whether they can operate a vehicle.

I work for the city, and we often have private truck drivers working for us or with us, or whatever. I have been told, that when they come into our yard, they sometimes have a designated "backer". The driver gets out, and this person will get in to back the rigs up because these people simple cannot do it. Most of the drivers are East Indian, and again, I know for a *fact* that there is at least one registration company here in the city that will routinely give out Alberta Class 3 licenses to certain people. I know this, because of a guy I work with who was unable to get his license for certain, specific reasons. A friend of his was going to "hook him up" with a Class 3 license. These are the licenses required to drive a concrete truck for example.
The entire trucking industry is fata'd in the way it works.
