Commercial vehicles need a valid Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) certificate and decal, done annually at a licensed facility. Carriers need a maintenance and inspection program, and drivers do trip inspections (Commercial Vehicle Safety Regulation). New Class 1 drivers go through Alberta's Class 1 Learning Pathway, which replaced MELT on April 1, 2025.
Who it applies to: Owners, carriers and drivers of commercial trucks, trailers and buses in Alberta, including vac and hydrovac units.
“trucks, truck-tractors, semi-trailers, trailers and combinations thereof exceeding a registered GVW of 11,794 kg when operating intra-provincially”
