Lesson Prices – Class 3 – West Coast Driver Training & Education

Thank you for your interest in taking lessons with West Coast Driver Training & Education.

We are not currently offering Class 3 training on our Mack Vision, which is equipped with a 13 speed manual transmission. Instead we are keeping our Mack Vision reserved for Air Brakes Courses.

But we have acquired a 2016 Mack Pinnacle equipped with an automatic transmission and we are now using this 2016 Mack Pinnacle for lessons on Class 3 automatic. We currently charge $275.00 plus GST per hour for training on Class 3 Automatic.

Please note that our Mack Pinnacle is based in the Cowichan Valley. If we have to bring the truck to Victoria or Nanaimo for a Road Test, we charge a transport fee of $75.00 plus GST each way. This does not apply if the client is driving to Victoria or Duncan as part of a pre-Road Test lesson.

We also offer Air Brakes Courses, which you will need to drive Class 3 vehicles. West Coast Driver Training is also an ICBC approved Air Brake Certification facility, which means we can qualify you on the Air Brake Pre-Trip portion of your Air Brake Endorsement.
