Trucking Across the Border: Key Updates

Driving a commercial vehicle across the border, whether it’s a delivery van making local runs near the border or a tractor-trailer hauling freight between provinces and states, is a challenging and essential job. For drivers and fleet operators working between Canada and the US, the rules governing safety, vehicle maintenance, and customs clearance are always moving. Staying informed helps you avoid fines and maintain a seamless flow of goods and keep everyone safe on the highway.

Driving Safely When Roads Are Flooded

Driving on wet or flooded roads presents difficulties that require awareness, preparation, and careful decision-making. From reduced visibility to the risk of hydroplaning and becoming stranded, challenging road conditions can pose hazards to drivers.

Parking in Tight Spots Without Stress: Driver Tips

Driving into a busy city centre, a crowded mall parkade, or a popular restaurant district often brings one immediate, sinking feeling: the anxiety of parking. It's one thing to handle the traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway or navigate the roundabout in Langley; it's quite another to squeeze your vehicle into a space clearly designed for a compact car when you're driving a minivan. This is particularly challenging for new drivers, as every parallel park or reverse stall parking attempt feels like a public performance.

 

Scooter vs Motorcycle Licence in BC: Which Do You Need?

From the low-hum of a scooter zipping through a residential street to the roar of a motorcycle on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, two-wheeled vehicles offer a unique way to get around British Columbia. With the growing popularity of both gas-powered and electric options, it's not always clear which licence you need to ride legally. The answer depends on what you're riding, so let's break down the rules for each category.

"A special “Thank You” to you. From what I was told, you never let my daughter put her guard down. Good for you.

I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you’ve given to my daughter. I will recommend Valley Driving School to as many people as I can.

Again, “Thank You” to everyone. Who knows…maybe my daughter will be back for other types of drivers training ie: motorcycle, standard, or even semi-trucks. Could happen. She ‘loves’ to drive.  

Best regards"
