Here are 2 big problems: 1. The 42 hours on road training at the Brampton (Punjabi) school is done with instructor in passenger seat, student in driver’s seat and 2 or 3 other students sitting on the bunk. The “bunk” students learn nothing and the hours spent there is credited to them as on road hours. 2. No graduated licensing requirements. A student can go from driving a Honda Civic to “a big rig” over 140,000 lbs gross just like that. We have graduated licensing requirements for the 16 year old new car drivers, although not AZ DRIVERS!

Maybe make the job more attractive to employees and people with a brain will want to drive truck again. I'm 39 and have been working in the trucking industry since I was 19 and every day it sucks more and more. People like me who actually care are leaving and being replaced by people who don't. The more people who don't care, the more restrictions that are placed on the job and more people who care leave. It's a vicious circle. The other problem is a lot of companies that are owned by a certain group hire their own people and then abuse them. They are newcomers and don't know their rights as an employee or don't want to rock the boat and get taken advantage of. One problem I can see with the training is these companies will pay for the training and then the drivers are indebted to their employer. It's almost human trafficking. They bring them over and then the employee is in their pocket and gets abused

There are a lot of problems. To solve this, according to me, the following should be done. 1. The number of schools offering licenses should be limited to just Ontario Colleges. This will make it more expensive and limit the number of people getting their truck licenses but on the flip side, the drivers will be better trained. 2. Every truck should have a breathalyzer regardless. This would limit the amount of DUI’s in trucks. I’ve seen a lot of drivers who have been charged with dui’s and are STILL DRIVING!! 3. There should be a union like the IBEW equivalent for trucks. I’ve been driving for 8 years. The rates are so low with such long hours that i’ve changed careers to acquiring an electrician license. Once i find a part-time apprenticeship along with my full-time, i will quit trucking for good. I’ve had 7 inspections at scales in north america, no tickets, no accidents, defensive driving is my attitude and habit behind the wheel. My car insurance in brampton is lower than what some people are paying outside of the GTA. Being a driver who has learned from great people (Humber College), it’s a shame that the industry couldn’t keep me, and how many more in the future. The union therefore, would be responsible for training and assigning to jobs and the rates won’t be so low. 4. Lastly, truck drivers, regardless of background and race, should help eachother out. There’s nobody else there for us, the rates are heavily influenced by what company owners pitch to their potential clients, there is no minimum set by anybody which is the reason why it’s so low. It has nothing to do with race/color. Everybody needs to eat, some people are more desperate than others (smaller companies), if we can’t work together, we’ll never work for eachother.

The carnage out on the highways involving big trucks is an embarrassment to the industry.

Most of these drivers are from Brampton. Someone once told me that the U.S. CBP had flagged a truck entering Ontario at the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie with 5 individuals as team drivers. They notified Canada Customs to call in the MTO Commercial enforcement unit to check on the drivers once they pass the border into Canada. It was discovered that they all had the same name except different photos on their driver's licenses. The license numbers were all the same as well. It turns out that the MTO traffic examination centre in Brampton was used to seeing the instructor taking the exam in place of the student and passing them. Phrases such as "I see you're Mr. Singh today, welcome to your road test..." were commonplace. I'm sure bribes were also paid. Most of those drivers also have issues speaking and understanding English coherently and competently. It has become a running joke about the "Brampton wrecking crew truck drivers association" as they have been known to wreck bridges, knock down powerlines and traffic signals, wreck cars, destroy complete buses with a hockey team inside and cause a whole lot of choas on the roads of North America.

That means they drive fatigued, get the "job" by buying it (normal where they come from) and as a result PEOPLE ARE DEAD. Our three most recent accidents locally are ALL with drivers with no footwear. at the point where people DIE this is not a "racist rant' this demands an investigation into the parameters of safe roads, safe driving. and why we struggle with enforcement of that safety.

I just got my az license few months ago and start my first truck driving job next week, I'm definitely not confident in my backing , the school just teaches you around cones and never takes you to a dock or a truck stop for real situations its kind of a joke. They teach you only to pass the test and that's all. I paid almost 10 grand out of pocket for this lol. I think government has to make the courses more stricter , no one is near ready to start hauling coming out of cdl school.

After 45 years in this industry I have seen the changes. You did not ask the 5 W in your article. There no lack of trained truck drivers. What there is a lack of people willing to work under the conditions that they are asked to work and be paid. You can train all the new drivers you want. The retention rate of the industry is abysmal. Until the industry is willing to admit what the real problems are all the schools in the world will not solve the problem good or bad The government and industry need to stop treating this as an unskilled job that anybody can do. That is far from the truth and until that realization has made nothing will change. They have the same problem in the US and some of the European countries. Until truck driving, becomes a trade and is treated like a trade with proper education and salaries nothing will change.

You got companies that exspect you to live your entire life on the road but don't pay you in compensation. So 100% it's embarrassing how under qualified 3/4 of the drivers are on the 401. I hate the 401, hwy 11, 17 because of this reason. The underqualified drivers? Who do you think they are working for? The 9000 shady companies that have got away with taking advantage of drivers by hiring the under qualified ones. Not to mention Trudeaus inflation and carbon tax has priced the professional driver out of a job. Companies don't want the good drivers. They cost to much. Besides. I've been driving trucks for 20 years. Truck drivers aren't the only ones under qualified. The majority of car owners can't drive for sht. Half the time they are flipping the bird at truck drivers thinking the trucker is in the wrong when it's the car driver actually doing something illigal. See we have a problem in Canada. We like to make short cuts that people are willing to pay top dollar for.

Other side of the coin is that if they keep making the process of getting an AZ harder and more expensive then for a lot of potentially good drivers / owner operators this profession keeps becoming less attractive , for the kind of person who is actually capable of taking their training seriously and drive responsibly why would they spend so much money to get an AZ license and then not a get a job even after they get one then not being paid enough after all it's still a driving job , that person would just bite the bullet and go to a college for an electrician course or something like data analytics and as such . Nowadays this profession only attracts youth who are desperate and are not capable of getting into another profession people like this will always be there no matter how complicated you make the process of getting a licence the truth is when it used to be cheaper to get an AZ there used to be lesser accidents on the road , what matters is what kind of drivers are coming into the profession desperate drivers will always be unsafe they will drive more hours without sleep , quicker without breaks what's more training going to do then .

The company I drive fir is based out of NS and only accepts students from 12 week training programs from 3 schools we’ve worked with for years. The student goes on a 4 week (the last 4weeks of the 12 week program) internship with a driver coach learning how things are on the road. There is a minimum of 100 hours driving and most of my students averaged 130-140 hours behind the wheel. If the student is a good driver and has the proper mindset they are offered a job. The new driver then goes with a different driver coach for 2-3 weeks and the student is paid a stipend by the company. This is done to get a second look at the student and to work with the student in areas they’re weak in, usually backing. So far this has resulted in fewer at fault incidents and drivers who know what they’re getting in to career wise. The issues I see going down the road with drivers is a lack of situational awareness, running up against the engine governor on wet or slippery roads severely limiting the drivers options when things go sideways, too fast for conditions and always trying to be in the lead, a lack of courtesy and pretrip inspections that are nothing more than a walk around the truck with an occasional tire kick. Professionalism has gone out of the profession.
