MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Twenty years ago, you'd find trucker Jacques Picotte pushing his limits — driving 16 hours straight, with only water and a bag of chips in the cab before resting at a pit stop.
It recommended better and more consistent training at truck driving schools across Canada, the adoption of a graduated licensing system, and increased use of telematics — technology such as electronic logging devices — that collect valuable data on drivers' behaviour or performance on the road.
Those minimum standards were established in response to the 2018 Humboldt Broncos crash, where a collision between the junior hockey team's bus and a semi-trailer killed 16 people.
One of MELT's weaknesses is that it's implemented provincially — but truck drivers typically travel across the country and even the continent, said Alexander Crizzle, associate professor at the University of Saskatchewan.
Geoff Wood, senior vice-president of policy at the Canadian Trucking Alliance, said many of the report's recommendations are being implemented to varying degrees in the country, while broadly agreeing with its overall call to action.
The paper cited an aging workforce, demand for higher pay and difficulty attracting youth and women to the profession as the main reasons for the shortage.
