As I understand it, you are allowed to drive DND vehicles on Ontario raods provided you have your 404 and the vehicle is of a type annotated on your 404, regardless of whether you have a civilian licence.
IF this is correct and IF your 404 is annotated for the MLVW, presumably you can drive the MLVW on Ontario roads regardless of the statement in the Air Brake Handbook.
It sounds to me as if you met someone who had read one paragraph of the rule book and failed to read the surrounding chapter(s). The phrase about a little knowledge being dangerous comes to mind.
