License Classes 101 with Adam from Northern Academy: From A, AZ, D and more

Natt — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 22:04:14 +0000

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by someone who plays a major role in helping people start – and level up – their careers in transportation.

I’d like to welcome Adam from Northern Academy. Adam has joined us previously, his most recent episode 91 published in September 2025.

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a DZ and an AZ license… if you’re not quite sure what air brakes actually mean for your career… or if you’re trying to figure out which license is the right fit for your goals — this conversation is for you.

Adam works directly with individuals who are entering the transportation industry for the first time, as well as experienced workers who are ready to upgrade their credentials. He sees firsthand the questions, the confusion, and sometimes the hesitation people have when they’re deciding to invest in training. And today, he’s here to break it all down in a clear and practical way.

We’re talking about the different classes of licenses —Whether you're looking at local driving opportunities, long-haul careers, construction, forestry, or industrial work, understanding the license structure is the first step.

One of the things I appreciate about Adam’s approach is that he focuses on helping people make informed decisions. Not everyone needs the same path.

So if you’ve been considering a career change, upgrading your license, or simply want clarity on what each class actually means — you’re going to get real value from this conversation.

Adam, welcome to the podcast — we’re excited to have you here and to dig into the different classes of licenses and what people need to know before they get started. Listen now

April 28 Day of Mourning

Natt — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 14:39:04 +0000

Today’s podcast episode is a little bit different. Instead of sharing a safety tip or story, we want to shine some light on April 28th which is the Day of Mourning, an international observance as a day of mourning for workers killed, injured or made ill by their job,

The declaration of the Day of Mourning began here in Canada. In 1984, unions in Sudbury, adopted the day to acknowledge workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. The Canadian Labour Congress held its first day of remembrance in 1986. The date of April 28th was chosen to because of the anniversary of the day Ontario passed the Workers’ Compensation Act in 1914.

Today we want to take a moment to honour lives lost, and lives forever changed due to workplace incidents, as well as encourage everyone to focus on workplace health and safety.

Workers are killed by workplace hazards every day. Each year, hundreds of thousands suffer injuries and illness because of their working conditions.

Let’s take April 28 to remember workers who have suffered work-related disability, disease and death. They are not forgotten.

Thank you for listening.

Safety Tips for back to School

Natt — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 20:33:40 +0000

Listen to this powerful and heartbreaking story of young Adam, who was killed when a driver did not stop for the school bus. We also share some back to school safety tips including bus safety, safe driving, and being safe at school. Falon also shares one of my favourite safety tips to share with your kids, when it comes to having someone else pick up your child from school or from an activity.

I found some information on the Ontario Ministry of Transportation website, linked below.

Every school day, over 800,000 students travel in about 16,000 school vehicles. And School bus drivers are less likely to be at fault in a collision than all other drivers. School bus drivers are amazing and help keep our kids safe, so its up to us as the other drivers on the road to pay attention to the road and make sure, absolutely sure we stop for buses.

Falon joins me to share her bac to school safety tips.

Keep Our Kids Safe: Bus Safety Reminders

Natt — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 17:37:13 +0000

Today is a short but important safety share message about driving safely around school buses and even more important is the story Im sharing first.

Before I share the bus safety tips, I want to share a story of 5 year old Adam Ranger. Adam was a 5 year old who was struck and killed by a truck as he stepped off his school bus just outside his home on Friday February 11, 2000, in Mattawa, Ontario. He was killed because someone did not stop for the flashing lights, or stop-arm on the school bus.

As a mother, I can’t imagine that loss to Adam’s family, friends and the whole community. The Let's Remember Adam is working hard to get stop arm cameras on all school buses in Ontario and even Canada. The objective of the Let's Remember Adam STOP for the School BUS campaign is to make sure this kind of tragedy never happens again.

On the letsrememberadam.org website, they share ‘In Ontario, drivers illegally pass school buses more than 30,000 times per day.’

I found some information on the Ontario Ministry of Transportation website, and I will add the link to the show notes so even if you aren’t in Ontario like we are, Im sure these stats are still relevant.
