Andy's Red Seal Questions
Episode 327
Sunday, 22 March, 2026

Andy's Red Seal Questions With all the buzz around Red Seal designation for truck drivers, even turning truck driving into a designated trade, some skepticism remains. Most industry stakeholders, including us here at Truck News Talk, believe the objectives are solid, and worth pursuing. But ... Driving school owner Andy Roberts wonders, if schools are interested in training to a Red Seal standard, why aren't they already delivering that level of training to their current clients? He wonders why many are leaning toward Red Seal when MELT and the old Earning Your Wheels course had limited success? Will Red Seal be the silver bullet? Andy doesn't have the answers, but he has some questions that will bring the Red Seal debate into clearer focus. Andy Roberts, owner and president of Mountain Transport Institute of Castlegar British Columbia joins Jim & Stan on the Truck News Talk Podcast. Thanks to Howes Products, makers of Diesel Defender - a diesel fuel lubricator and injector cleaner with advanced IDX four detergent.
