I did not read all the replies but I got an bill for $ 111. Just go on the website and plug in the number that was on the letter that they gave you and your PIN number that they sent you and then red register it as being used. They'll send you an invoice in the mail within a week and show you where to pay.


I got the letter but didn't get a PIN number, I complained to our MPP, who was the house speaker at that time, and nothing else happened. Maybe my comment to the MPP about my truck being for personal use helped!

I have a 1 ton dually HD and a 5er. I also had a class Dz license, an AR license and then dropped down to a class G license when they wanted me to go for medicals etc. The class G covers what I haul with my HD. As for the plate sticker, I used to up the weight rating from May to October but I haven't done that in a few years now. I have never been given a break on my sticker cost by the gov't. I just renewed my sticker on line for $265. and it didn't take very long to get here. I tried online last year and I was told I couldn't do it. This year was different.

Wow, Ontario sounds like an uber strict place live.

I think if you look at the reg’s you will see that Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories and Ontario are all pretty much the same.

In a weird quirk to the reg’s though, my converted Class 8 truck (registered as a motorhome) is not a commercial vehicle any longer and is therefore exempt from all of this save for the air brake items.

I was looking for places that allowed you to drive a diesel pusher on a regular license and NB was one of them. I could be wrong (the gov't wording of these things is always terrible) but I am pretty sure it was ok.

You can drive a DP M/H with a regular licence, however, in certain jurisdictions (Ontario is one of them) an air brake endorsement is still required.

In fact, some friends got an ugly surprise when they stopped in a safety blitz and were not allowed to continue on down the road, despite having no mechanical issues, because of not having the air brake endorsement on their licence. Thankfully they were travelling with others, one of which had the air brake cert., and was able to trade drivers.
