 3. What’s Trending in Canada’s Transportation Industry?


WHAT’S TRENDING IN CANADA’S TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY?

Published Date February 9, 2022 Author Ryan Farrell



Every transportation organization is unique. So, too, are the industry issues
that come from operating in a specific country or geography in North America.

From regulatory updates such as the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate to
information involving driver enablement, check out a compilation of newsworthy
items from around the Canadian provinces.


MELT NOW ACTIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

On Oct. 18, 2021, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), took a
dramatic step in prioritizing on-road best practices with its deployment of
mandatory entry-level training (MELT), for all Class 1 license candidates.

Developed with input from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and
the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, MELT’s training guidelines
exceed the National Safety Code Standard’s Class 1 basic training conditions,
requiring 140 total hours, including in-yard and academic training, and
behind-the-wheel driving hours.

Said Dave Earle, BC Trucking Association, BCTA president and CEO, “We were
pleased to work closely with the provincial government and other stakeholders to
develop a system that raises the bar on safety and helps meet the needs of
employers and drivers.”

Applicants seeking a commercial operator’s license must pass an ICBC-approved
Class 1 MELT course before taking a road test.


ALBERTA, MANITOBA FEND OFF ELD ENFORCEMENT WARNINGS

Frustrated by delays with the launch of certified electronic logging devices
(ELDs) in rigs throughout Canada (including integration and equipment access),
some provinces are pushing back against fines or official warnings.

An October 2021 article on trucknews.com reported, “Alberta officials have told
the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) that the province may ease away
from the deadline for its official warning notices, but nothing has been
committed in writing. Manitoba officials also continue to be stubborn.” In
response, enforcement without punitive penalties (originally December 2021) is
now June 12, 2022.

Addressing limitations in parts availability, Frank Stowers, senior product
manager, Trimble Transportation, acknowledged, “These supply-chain problems are
real and impacting the industry, but we’re confident in our ability to meet our
customer needs.”


SUPPLY-CHAIN CONCERNS DISRUPT SASKATCHEWAN’S HOLIDAY PLANS

Transportation industry issues continue to impede the central prairie region’s
supply chain and may add stressors to the always-taxing holiday shopping season,
said Susan Ewart, executive director of the Saskatchewan Trucking Association.

“The labour shortages across the country are definitely causing supply chain
challenges.” Ewart discussed in an October 2021 interview on local radio. “We’re
hearing from members that they are placing orders and (are) not going to receive
equipment they need until 2023.”

Ewart emphasized that the transportation industry needs more funding for
training, and provincial governments must work together to address driver
shortages.


LEGISLATION MAY GIVE ONTARIO DRIVERS RELIEF

Access to restrooms was among the myriad issues Ontario drivers confronted
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—yet even as health restrictions lessen, finding
available washrooms remains a problem for the province’s more than 200,000
truck, courier, and food delivery drivers.

In a landmark move, Monte Gary McNaughton, Ontario’s Minister of Labour,
Training and Skills Development, is spearheading legislation that will make it
law for drivers to have access to washrooms at businesses where they are
delivering or retrieving items.

Calling it “truly unacceptable” that drivers are consistently denied access to
washroom facilities while on the job, McNaughton said, “These are key people in
our economy that are delivering goods and it’s important.”

If passed, it will be the first such law in North America. Ontario businesses
unwilling to comply could face financial penalties through the Ministry of
Labour.


PEI’S MANDATORY TESTING FOR TRUCKERS SCRUTINIZED

A public health order that requires visitors to Prince Edward Island (PEI) age
eight and older be tested at a COVID-19 checkpoint before being allowed entry is
under consideration by the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA).

The organization, which represents commercial road transport interests
throughout Atlantic Canada, recently questioned the directive that creates
additional delays for drivers already hampered by pandemic-related measures.
ATPA has urged the government to exempt truckers from mandatory testing at the
Confederation Bridge, a two-lane toll bridge linking the Trans-Canada Highway
between New Brunswick and PEI.

Noting the essential-worker status of drivers, Jean-Marc Picard, APTA executive
director told CBC News, "There's no reason why other provinces give full
exemption and PEI can't. It's the same job, we do the same thing . . . we
definitely need to waive everything for truck drivers and let the supply chain
flow."


TRUCKING HR CANADA DELIVERS OPPORTUNITY

In response to several years of staff shortages beleaguering the transportation
and logistics industry, Trucking HR Canada has launched Career ExpressWay to
attract young people to stable, financially rewarding jobs in the on-road and
non-driving sectors.

The program provides timely opportunities, says Angela Splinter, CEO of Trucking
HR Canada, who explained, “As the Canadian economy looks to rebound from
COVID‑19, we need to ensure we have skilled workers supporting the continued
flow of goods through Canada’s supply chain,”

Funded through the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy,
Career ExpressWay offers subsidies as an incentive to potential employees who
might be deterred by costs and financing.
