ATTN: Joe RE: NSC

[Angry White Male]

He wanted me to write the NSC examinations because he is to fuckin dumb and illiterate to pass them himself.

Since I am probably the only guy around any of these forums that has done this, I can explain how this works, should you desire this knowledge...  I know you posted this over there, but I'm sure you pop in here also from time to time.



This test isn't as easy as it once was, 'cause East Indians with barely any understanding of the industry or its standards were getting NSC's by the boatload...  They would load up on 'em, and if one was cancelled, they'd just run under a backup NSC.  So, they made the process more difficult, and have also reviewed a lot of 'idle' (read: backup) NSC's.



First off you need a commercial vehicle either registered in your name, or your company's name.  It makes no sense for them to do it this way in my view, but they will not allow you to take the test before you actually own, or at least have registered in your name (or company's name), a commercial vehicle.



The test is $200 if I recall correctly, which is non-refundable, and it's really not that easy.  What the test focuses on these days are different then what it used to focus on.  Used to focus more on vehicle safety.  Now it focuses more on the clerical aspects of the business...  What documents you need to keep, and how long you have to keep them, in a nutshell.  There's more to it than that, but the focus is knowledge on what a business owner is expected to do regarding the handling of ALL paperwork, and what you have to do/keep when hiring drivers, even if that driver is you.



Most people actually fail this test on the first try.  Some actually never pass.  I know a guy that has tried four times ($800), and still cannot pass it, but English is not his first language, and test is only conducted in English.  Test is a paper test, and it is not multiple choice.  Answers must be written in full.



You will do this test at the CVSE building in Surrey, which is right at HWY 10 and 152.  The tester is, or was then, an uppity female that will think she knows everything about you and your business.



I saw one guy take one look at the test, and he walked right out.

Yes, we are. It's a huge burden and mostly unnecessary.

Too many problems with "New Canadians" running junk trucks and killing people, or expecting their drivers to break every rule in the book.

What knowledge?

[Angry White Male]

Are you dumb?

Never answer a question with a question.  It makes you look dumb.

[Angry White Male]

You're dumb.  And learn to clean up your quotes...

[Berry Sweet]

You still haven't told me about this "knowledge"....
