Quebec Class 1 study plan

Classify every Quebec regulatory sign type (prohibition, mandatory, warning, information) and state the required driver action for each without notes

Recite pavement marking meanings including yellow centre lines, white lane lines, stop lines, crosswalks and reserved-lane markings, and explain how each interacts with a heavy vehicle's turning path

Explain right-of-way rules for uncontrolled intersections, four-way stops, roundabouts and left turns, and apply them to a tractor-trailer scenario

Match each traffic light indication, including flashing and arrow phases, to the legal action permitted for a 5-axle combination

Apply school-zone, school-bus and emergency-vehicle rules to concrete driving situations and state the exact speed or stopping requirement

Explain Quebec speed limits by road type and zone, and identify the situations where a reduced limit or absolute prohibition applies to heavy vehicles

Interpret railway crossing signals, gates and pavement markings and list the stopping and clearance steps for a long combination

Resolve right-of-way conflicts at intersections involving pedestrians, cyclists and transit vehicles in urban freight routes

Describe the legal passing, following and lane-use rules that apply differently to heavy vehicles, including prohibited passing zones and restricted lanes

Perform a full pre-trip inspection in correct walk-around order and name the defect standard for each component checked

Inspect tires, wheels, rims, hubs and fasteners and state rejection criteria for tread depth, sidewall damage, looseness and mismatched sizes

Check lighting, reflectors, mirrors, horn, wipers, windshield, coupling devices and emergency equipment against required condition standards

Identify the components of a dual-circuit air brake system and explain what happens to braking when one circuit fails

Trace the path of compressed air from compressor through governor, reservoirs, valves and brake chambers, and explain the function of the safety valve and drain valves

Perform the standard air brake tests in sequence: static leak test, applied leak test, low-pressure warning test and emergency spring-brake application test, stating pass criteria for each

Explain slack adjuster and pushrod stroke checks and describe how to recognize an out-of-adjustment brake

Diagnose common air brake faults such as compressor cut-in problems, moisture contamination and a slow pressure build

Explain the purpose and correct use of the trailer supply valve, tractor protection valve and parking brakes during coupling and uncoupling

Apply cargo securement rules: working load limits, number and placement of tiedowns, aggregate WLL versus cargo weight, and direct versus indirect restraint

Calculate axle and gross weight distribution for a loaded trailer and explain the effect of load placement on steering and drive axles

State Quebec legal dimension and weight limits, including width, height, length and axle-weight tolerances, and identify permit requirements for oversize or overweight loads

Inspect a secured load and list the deficiencies that would make it unsafe to move

Describe how speed, weight, road surface and brake condition change stopping distance for a loaded combination, and estimate stopping distance at highway speed

Explain proper braking technique on long downgrades, including gear selection, engine braking, snubbing and the danger of brake fade

Set and maintain safe following distances and space cushions for a heavy vehicle at various speeds and in poor weather

Explain off-tracking, swept path and blind-spot geometry, and plan turns and lane changes that account for them

Identify seasonal Quebec hazards such as ice, snow, frost heaves and construction zones and state the adjustment required for each

Apply hours-of-service limits for the applicable Quebec and federal framework, including daily and cycle limits, required off-duty periods and mandatory rest breaks

Complete a daily log or electronic record accurately for a sample day, including duty-status changes and total hours calculations

Explain fatigue countermeasures and the signs of impairment, and plan a schedule that keeps a driver within limits across a multi-day trip

Describe the emergency procedures for brake failure, tire blowout, jackknife, fire and runaway on a grade, including the correct order of actions

Identify the nine dangerous goods classes and the meaning of the primary hazard placard for each

Explain the driver's responsibilities for shipping documents, placarding, loading segregation and reporting a dangerous goods release

Apply hazard-perception technique by scanning a described scene and naming the developing hazards in priority order with a planned response

Review your weakest two domains using your own error log and re-test them under timed conditions
