For the better part of a year, The The Globe and Mail Sara Mojtehedzadeh and Mahima Singh examined concerns raised by truck drivers and experts of misclassification and labour abuse in the industry. Listen to her explain the crisis CTA has been warning about for years

CTA President Demands Immediate Action from Ministers on ‘Chameleon Carriers’ Following Fatal Manitoba Crash:

This carrier had its safety certificate revoked by Manitoba in 2021. Instead of being shut down, they exploited systemic loopholes to become a chameleon carrier. They simply crossed into Alberta, obtained a new licence, and kept operating.

This story repeats itself time and time again.

We do not need more discussion. We need immediate ex*****on. Canadian lives depend on it. https://cantruck.ca/cta-president-demands-immediate-action-from-ministers-on-chameleon-carriers-following-fatal-manitoba-crash/

Only a fraction of the thousands of trucking firms analyzed by
Globe and Mail have ever received an in-depth safety audit by provincial transport authorities. Firms routinely violate labour laws without penalty. The lawlessness crisis in trucking is undeniable.

The total number of Driver Inc drivers rose more than 300% over a decade in some areas, while median earnings in some cities dropped to the poverty line – part of what experts describe as a troubling race to the bottom in trucking, the The Globe and Mail reports. The lawlessness crisis in trucking is undeniable.

Today's investigation into Driver Inc. is exhaustive, damning, and a call to action for government & enforcement agencies across Canada.

The report exposes a broken oversight system allowing bad actors to thrive: Truck drivers paid slave wages; Misclassification to dodge tax obligations up 300% in some areas. 85% of analyzed fleets in ON, BC, SK, and MB have never received a facility audit. Fleets with dozens of safety convictions and forced labour ties remain on the road.

As the Council of Ministers of Labour and Transportation prepare to meet this fall to recommend actions against Driver Inc., this article serves as undeniable proof of the urgent need for decisive, modernized enforcement.

Upgrading and modernizing licensing standards to eliminate carriers exploiting systemic loopholes and engaging in forced labour.

Vulnerable drivers and compliant carriers deserve real enforcement, not minor fines that bad actors treat as a cost of doing business. It is time the penalty fits the crime and these carriers are removed from the road.

The crisis in trucking is now undeniable. Governments across Canada must act now!
