Six months after launching a national outcry against rampant lawlessness in the trucking industry, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is back with a clear message for Ottawa: Promises don\u2019t protect our roads \u2013 dedicated enforcement does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six months ago, the CTA launched the first iteration of Stop Illegal Trucking<\/a><\/u><\/strong> to demand an end to \u00ab\u00a0Driver Inc.\u00a0\u00bb \u2013 an illicit scheme where rogue carriers misclassify employees to dodge taxes, exploit workers, and compromise public safety. While the federal government recently acknowledged the crisis in Budget 2025 \u2013 committing $77 million to crack down on tax non-compliance and lifting the moratorium on mandatory T4As to compel Driver Inc operators to file taxes properly \u2013 it\u2019s critical Ottawa continues to follow through on enforcement and send a strong message to rogue trucking companies that law and order is being restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0We acknowledge and applaud the Government of Canada for taking a major first step by admitting the ‘Driver Inc.’ model is a threat to our economy and our safety and have committed to taking real action,\u00a0\u00bb said Stephen Laskowski, President and CEO of the CTA. \u00ab\u00a0But the scale of this lawlessness is massive, and concerned citizens need to ensure Ottawa matches the level of enforcement required to remove the lawbreakers off our highways while also lending support and resources to provinces to do the same.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a contingent of the trucking industry that opposes much-needed oversight and wants to maintain the status quo. That position is clearly at odds with a growing number of concerned Canadians who demand Ottawa act in restoring law and order to our industry. We must ensure their voices are heard by all MPs and the government expands on its commitments made in Budget 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign urges Canadians to send emails to MPs, reminding them to increase enforcement on Driver Inc carriers engaged in tax evasion, labour and immigration abuse and which pose a threat to border security and the international supply chain through links to organized crime. CTA is also asking the public to demand more support for provinces to address deteriorating truck safety on our roads, while increasing national oversight and data sharing among jurisdictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative also provides information and resources to drivers who are compelled to misclassify and forego thousands of dollars in benefits and entitlements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
