Obtaining a commercial learner’s licence in British Columbia is no easy task. It requires investing time and effort over several weeks, during which you will study for the knowledge tests. The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) publishes Driving Commercial Vehicles, which is the official guide for professional drivers. It includes complete information on air brakes, fuel-efficient driving, skills for driving commercial vehicles, and pre-trip inspections. Students should read its contents at least once before they go to the ICBC office to take the knowledge tests.

We make the latest version of the British Columbia Commercial Handbook available for anyone who wants to study commercial driving theory. You don’t need sophisticated software or advanced computer skills to include this resource in your study routine. All you need is a compatible device and a stable internet connection. However, students who reside in areas with limited coverage can download this manual in PDF format. Use the designated download button on the right side of the page to save the official guide in PDF format, which you can access offline at any time.

To increase your learning potential and maximize retention rates, we recommend studying this guide in a distraction-free environment. Dedicate several hours of your free time to studying each chapter individually, and only progress to the next one after you’ve understood the material. Stay hydrated and take frequent breaks to avoid digital eye strain and burnout. Becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver takes time, so you shouldn’t expect overnight results. Increase your knowledge gradually, and be patient during your learning phase.

Once you have studied the book, we suggest you take our Free ICBC Knowledge Test Practice. This intuitive tool has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official written knowledge exam, helping students gain the confidence necessary to achieve a passing score. The practice test contains 0 multiple-choice questions, all of which are based on the official Driving Commercial Vehicles guide.

Start today and take the first step toward turning your dream career into reality. Reaching your professional goals is easier when you use the most efficient tools, which can make a significant difference in your progress.
