Heavy vehicles
What should you check in a job posting that mentions PEP work?
Short answer
Ask about the GVWR of the vehicles you would maintain and which certificate category is required: truck, bus, trailer or straight truck. If the role covers heavy vehicles of 7,258 kg or more, the employer should ask for the SAAQ competency certificate, not only a diploma or years of experience. To compare this kind of opening, see Canada Motor Jobs.
