Alberta shuts down five unsafe truck driver training schools, 13 carriers
Alberta has revoked the licences of five commercial driver training schools and shut down 13 trucking companies after a months-long investigation into unsafe practices across the industry.
Devin Dreeshen, transportation and economic corridors minister, told trucknews.com the crackdown followed a surge in highway incidents, including bridge strikes involving trucks with high loads.
“It was that rash of accidents that really had us look into wanting to do this major investigation within the trucking industry,” he said. “Whether it be the driver training schools or the commercial carriers themselves … we wanted to make sure that we did all the due diligence before we went public.”
The province’s Driver Training and Oversight Unit spent six months investigating schools, uncovering fraudulent reporting and record-keeping that allowed students to bypass required classroom and in-cab training hours. “That type of fraud was the biggest recurring issue,” Dreeshen said.
The investigation led to 39 disciplinary letters, more than $100,000 in administrative penalties, six corrective action plans, 12 revoked instructor licenses, and four warning letters to driver examiners.
Targeting ‘chameleon’ carriers
On the carrier side, 13 companies were removed from Alberta’s roads due to poor performance, unsafe equipment, or failure to meet safety standards. Seven were identified as “chameleon” carriers – firms that evade oversight by changing names, creating new entities, or shifting operations across jurisdictions.
“Chameleon carriers were a particular focus,” Dreeshen said. “It takes a lot of collaboration with other provincial ministries to make sure we could catch these bad actors, because it ultimately just gives the trucking industry a bad name.”
Alberta has since increased engagement with schools through workshops designed to raise standards and strengthen oversight. Dreeshen said closer monitoring of examiners and instructors will be key to restoring trust.
Don MacDonald, operations manager at CCA Truck Driver Training and interim chairman of the Professional Truck Training Alliance of Canada, said in a news release that elevating training standards to the level of a designated trade, with the eventual goal of Red Seal recognition, represents an important step for the industry. He added the move will not only improve safety but also bolster professionalism and integrity across the sector.
Labor issues
Beyond training and equipment safety, Dreeshen pointed to ongoing labor issues, particularly the misclassification of drivers as contractors rather than employees. He said he will continue to advocate on the issue and plans to raise it at the next meeting of federal, provincial and territorial transportation ministers.
His message to those still cutting corners was blunt: “Follow the rules.”
At the same time, he commended operators already meeting expectations. “Albertans rely on truck drivers and the goods they deliver every day,” he said, adding that the province wants more people to view trucking as a rewarding career and to take pride in the profession.

It’s about time the government did something about the driving industry and more has to be done to improve the industry and the trucks have to be governed to a 100 kilometre per hour I spend a lot time on the road and the trucks come up behind you and push
-
Experienced from driving BC, governing doesn’t work. It causes more aggression, tailgating, trying to pass because of 1/2 km faster truck. Nothing but unsafe conditions. I’m thinking you are not a truck driver or you would understand what you are saying.
-
Governing is necessary because trucks are large vehicles that haul thousands of pounds. When they are involved in accidents they kill multiple people. Why on earth would you want a vehicle capable of causing such damage to do more than 100. The average person driving a car does not understand fully what these things are capable of and stupidly cut them off all the time so I get the frustration…but im sorry safety should be top priority. As people who holds a class license higher than a G …means our training is different. We are held to a much higher standard.
-
-
Maybe your car or pickup should be governed to 90 km. Then you might experience what drivers do!
-
No matter what safety should always be your number one priority. Worry about your driving. Do your part in keeping our roads safe.
-
-
You would do the same if you were working fir less then minimum wages
-
No. Trucks should not be governed lower than the tires are rated. Truckers are paid by the mile. Governing trucks incentivizes them to rush and to cut corners.

As a retired OTR truckdriver, I applaud these moves by the Albertan Government to make the roads safer. The rest of Canada – take note and follow the great example set. I will definitely support the elevation of the Class A license to a TRADE (always has been, in my opinion). This profession is NOT a ‘job, it is now and always has been a LIFESTYLE. New drivers need to understand the professions’ requirements and be taught how to do it right. Their lives and the publics’ safety are paramount. Now if we could just have several thousand more overnight parking spaces in every province, with available, clean showers, decent restaurants, fuel at a reasonable cost, and some basic education of the general public about driving on the same roads as trucks, the industry would definitely flourish.
It’s about time !! Alarms have been going off in our heads for sometime, as previous truck drivers, weve messaged and tried to get the government’s attention. We’ve on the road for thousands of kilometers, my husband used to be a driving instructor, witnessing the horrible driving these people commit. Feet up on the dash, trucks not governed and doing what ever speed they want, we soooo wished the government would wake up and start governing trucks. They are huge vehicles and don’t need to drive more than 100 km per hour. When they crash, they kill many, not just one. Ft. Worth, Texas in 2020 should have opened eyes, the 401 in Ontario, really??? The Deerfoot 500 ?? More training is needed, should be like the German system. Humboldt should have been a better wake up call, the MELT is still not enough. So happy these schools have been investigated and way too many trucking companies are getting away with mischief all for money. Covid really changed the industry in the wrong way, trucking companies opening up like McDonald’s on every corner.
Too bad they won’t let everyone know who’s been shut down.
This is long overdue too many innocent people dying in accidents over stupidity and lack of training. I believe they destroyed the trucking industry you see it out there everyday.
Long overdue.
The fines for these blatant, fraudulent infractions should be much much much higher.
Fine them out of existence.
Jail for repeat offenders.
But this is Canada.
“immediately released on bail. 6 months community hours, reduced to 2 months”
Our laws are paper tigers being mocked and ignored repeatedly.
What about the drivers? If they obtained their licenses after this training shouldn’t they all have to be screened now for fitness to operate with a Class 1?
Interesting that all of those government ‘actions’ were not correctly identified as ‘reactions’.
Here we have a typical government–both federal & provincial– ‘game plan’: Wait until a lot of bad stuff happens and only then do you take action. What happened to the H&S mantra [being pushed for decades by so many government agencies and other organizations] regarded as ‘proactive’? A proactive government, populated by QUALIFIED MPs, MLAs and MPPs, would certainly be preferable and more effective as opposed to the political ‘appointments’ in various Ministries. As an example, Ontario has had no ‘qualified’ Ministers of Transportation for decades. They don’t respond to emails, advice, ideas nor other citizen inputs. Their civil servant support staff, who occasionally respond on the Minister’s behalf, send out stock response letters indicating ‘we are among the best, nothing to see here, move on…’
Alberta, much like the federal government, is likely the same. Do nothing until the feces hits the fan.
Welcome to ‘your government in action’…[inaction[
Great job !! It is about time that someone takes action to shut these shady and fraudulent so named” Truck driver training” school’s .
I’m a veteran professional driver with 40 years of experience with no demerits on my license since day one, no tickets and no violations or accidents, driving across the country coast to coast to coast and have seen especially in the recent years driving school’s who have three people in a daycab the one in the middle sitting on a dining chair, no seat belt of course and the chair just wedged into the gap between the two seats.
Driving instructors being on the phone while driving instead of having an eye on the student . There are so many issues with these companies that I could write on and one.
Many more of these driving schools have to be shutdown immediately because of dangerous equipment/ driving , defective equipment ,cutting corners ,nearly injuring pedestrians on walkways waiting for a green light even running red lights or driving half on the shoulder while driving on the highway and alowing their students to use their ” headsets ” to answer phonecalls while driving. The list of issues is endless.
Like mentioned I’m very pleased to read that there’s progress and our government is taking action. To make the wrong decision as a truck driver could be fatal and many of our new drivers just don’t get the propper education they need to be save in the job and keep the public save. Of course things just happen but with propper education a new driver might be able to make the right call in a difficult situation. Sadly to many lives are lost on the road every hour – day – year. Bad education of drivers are destroying the reputation of the ones who care on the job on daily basis driving thousands of kilometers a year to keep our country going.
Please name the schools and companies so other trucking companies can see if they are affected by employing these owner operators or company drivers
I live on the southern border same issues
It’s Everywhere
The names of these carriers and schools should be listed.
-
Agree 100%
This is the best news I’ve heard in ages
Thank you for your hard work getting these unscrupulous companies and schools shut down .
I spent 36 years as a OTR driver now a trainer for the last eight years and am thoroughly disgusted at what I am seeing on our hwy’s now !
Over the past 20 years have seen things on the roads and HWY’s we should never see.
I remember a time when you came across a transport truck on it’s side or involved in some sort of accident a rarity .
I have seen way to many accidents in the B.C. mountains that I never used to see , now it’s a very common occurrence as well as on the prairies .
Proper training at reputable schools and proper training at companies that hire new students as well as any driver that has changed the type of loads they haul . ( Mentorship )
Would also like to see a graduated licensing program , such as restricted axel’s and driving radius for at least the first year , then a retest at the end of one year .
( possible free to the driver )
LET’S KEEP OUR ROADS SAFE AND FAMILIES !!!
Start from bottom. Make everyone so mandatory driving training hours before taking Class 5 full n commercial licence. Should not be a short cut route
Good riddance. Four SUV’s were rearended, ploughed through by an Alberta truck driver on the 401 express a couple of months ago.
I was impacted severely. These driver’s should be deported to their country of origin.
Who are the owners of these companies? What are their names? I wonder if they have sister companies in other cities?
It’s about time I was a mechanic and saw lots of BS
put training i the hands of colleges not private operators.
Now that is a step in the right direction !
I am really pleased to see this happening! I have seen so many close calls over the past five years or so. Parking on the shoulders is one of the worst. A few hundred meters or so & they would be safe or at least a after. I’ve seen them parked on the left side of the #1 TransCanada where the shoulders is even smaller. I have been told that many of the drivers to not have a good grasp of English so can’t read any of the Hwy sign’s properly. Keep up the good work!
This is great.
Finally, this reveals the extent of the fraud, breach of trust and violations in Alberta.
This was apparent to a lesser extent but as serious in 2008 when I was Director of Driver Education and Licensing Standards. We were able to get a Driving school instructor/owner a 3 year jail sentence for breach of trust. There should have been criminal charges in these cases. Why not?
And only discipline letters for Examiners? What a joke.
Good job on taking out the bad weeds . It would be nice if Alberta would name those companies.
after being a long distance driver for 43 years I’m seeing that the quality of drivers are not properly trained. Also there is a lot of fly by nite companies out there.
A truck driver doesn’t have to take 4 years of apprenticeship training to get a license. There should be some level of apprenticeship training under supervision. The instructors and so called schools and examiners just giving out licenses for illegal profit endanger the public and should lose any ability to ever do so in the future. It goes beyond a fine, it is criminal and could cost lives.
Great news
This is good news from a former trucker 1991-2004. 15 yrs accident free b4 a knee injury stopped my career.
Even watch class 5 examiners. Keep eye on them too. Look how many accidents by new drivers
It’s about time our government steps up to the plate & stops this carnage on our highways. All provinces need to put the hammer on these guys hard.
English should be a big part of safety on the highway if u can’t read road signs or understand them how can they drive on them a minum of 8 grade understand ING I have been driven over 25 years and in that time English has fallen to way side
Im happy something is being done as some people think that they can do whatever they want on the highways and its ok …
Thanks to those who’ve been doing the investigations and finding these people who are cutting corners and wreaking havoc in the society…..
It’s about time something is being done, the actual truck drivers that care about public safety are sick and tired of watching the industry being given a black eye due to these people treating driving a truck unprofessionally!! Do the job right or don’t do it at all!!
Why aren’t the names of the companies named?
It’s a slow start to cleaning up the industry. The acceptance of International drivers licenses is dangerous, and in my opinion, unacceptable as these are allowing drivers who cannot speak read or communicate in English. Those has and will continue to cause problems?, deaths during to inability to read signs .
It’s about time I’ve been a professional driver and I’m glad that something is going to help the trucking industry
There is a lot of gravel trucks on highway 16 west of Edmonton transporting gravel from numerous pits. Most do not have there loads completely covered nor do they ensure there is no loose gravel on the outside of their gravel boxes. This creates a hazard where they enter the highway and travel on the highway by causing cracked windshields, chipped paint and a safety concern for motorcycles. They should be required to secure their loads before leaving their loading points.
I am so disgusted with the absolute lack of professionalism that I see in the drivers today. Truckers were once considered the knights of the road , now they are a nightmare. There are some guys to come out of a school, that are very good drivers. Drivers that actually are courteous and follow the rules in the road. But there are a huge number. Who are just absolute ignorant morons. After driving for 45 years, and retiring, I am disgusted by what I see today just in general attitudes.
We also need to focus on load securement and equipment. Poor pre and post trips. Middle lane hogging, ( there are signs saying keep right). This needs to be law for everyone and is law in the UK and Europe. (Saves many lives). High headlight beam over use / not dimming headlights. Driving semis unsafely. Feet on the dash, curtains pulled across drivers side window, tinted windows and so forth. Also other road users need to yield to semis in curtain situations. Semi drivers also need to ne praised for having a safe vehicle and driving safe. One last point semi drivers and car drivers need to learn how to use a traffic circle / round about correctly.
Well done it’s about time ! I have been a class 1 driver /equipment operator for over 40 years. I was afraid to have my family drive on the Hiways especially the QE11. Thank you Mr Dreeshen for having the courage for stand up for our families safety !
As a former truck driver I applaud the efforts made to curb these incompetent drivers and their so called instructors. These companies have been cheating the system for years. I quit driving because of the inexperienced and dangerous drivers who get their license from an “uncle” owned company. Thank you for your work in getting rid of these “uncle” companies.
About time we stepped up and shut down these companies that keep putting these under educated drivers on our roads.Thes trucks and drivers are important to our economy,but we need to be safe and experienced on our highways,especially with winter on its way.Thank you
So why weren’t they named. The people have a right to know which companies were doing this. And how do we stop any further training companies or carriers. We should also mandate like the US with the FMCSA rules of being able to speak, read and write English language as well as a very good understanding of rhe language
This would address alot of safety issues on the road for Truckers. Im not picking on any group of people just anyone who cannot speak the English language. Period..
Great to see. Late coming, it needs to be further expanded. 25 years driving western Canada. I’m getting tired of being tale gated and having the high beams flashed into my mirror. I drive the posted speed limit and face this problem probably 100 times per shift. There are a couple professional drivers still out there.
It’s about time the government raised rates for truck drivers pay. Especially owner operators, who are struggling to stay afloat due to rising fuel costs
It is about time something is being done with these truckers.
So many times , while driving south on the QE11 , trucks line up across all lanes , causing backups and frustrating other drivers. These trucks should be in the far right lane except for passing , like other Provinces. Also there racing going on and game playing , which is extremely dangerous.
There was a time that driving around these big trucks was a safe thing because the drivers were professional, but not anymore.
Thank you for taking action.
After the Humboldt tragedy, this is late but welcome news. Safety legislation in so many aspects on our roads should be reviewed including regular driving schools. CBC Marketplace reported on shady schools granting licenses & passing of exams in exchange for money. With so many horrible drivers on the road, I hope many more investigations happen in Alberta. The recent Global News story on the serious crash near a school in Forest Heights, Edmonton , is just one example. It’s a miracle nobody was killed & the driver likely got away scot free as police never showed. Terrifying!
Its about time! Good on the government.
.
I would like to see the company names posted to protect companies from any further issues or possibly using any of new start ups as you know they will start up again and again.
I’m so glad to read this! As a highway driver I’ve always trusted truck drivers during storms etc. The last year or so, not so much.
Why doesn’t the industry or powers that be set up a ” whistleblowers ” line where those who hear or see suspicious behavior or actions can report anonymously without risk of reprocussions?
So why are these companies and training schools, names not released to the public.
This is fantastic!!!!!
Pointing out the truth is not “racist”. Calling people “racist” is simply a way to shut down debate when you have no logical argument. Dancing around the truth is what got Canada into this mess.
When you see the number of drivers on the road that can barely keep the vehicle in its lane, then you know the driver Is being tested by someone that is not doing their job. Maybe there should be more stringent vetting of instructors in the registries.
Now find all the past “graduates” and test them.
Good work. Now lets do the same investigation into Class 5 Drivers Training and Licensing.
They should tell the people how got shut down i looking to go back out there but it’s sad to see truck look like sh** I had 5 trucks not all at once but I washed it 3times a week and I did not eat in them ouless I was waiting for my load or weather I had a company tell me i need to get retained for driving 35+years is not enough thankyou most of hour new Canadian are to blame
Who and what companies were involved?
great news, must do more . why can they do there written in more than two languages english an french l got released from 2 class one training jobs, because I would not cut corners, with air brakes or hand on
its about time ! good on you! now its about time to release ALL the names of persons , companies and driving schools involved.
37 years on the road and I’ve watched my trade deteriorate from a profession to a cut throat joke.
Do away with the driving schools, get back to mentorship and institute an apprenticeship program.
Held my cvip license since1991 have tried to treat all drivers with the same level of respect .Have failed units when necessary Was in the trade for 35 years. It only takes a few to ruin it for everyone Good drivers and inspector keep up with your higher standards
Should have been a trade 20+ years ago and not such a hillybillie pseudo profession
Great first step – Now name the schools, their principles, & the drivers whose licenses are fraudulent.
Name the companies that were shut down and their principles so us out here working to stay safe and using proper hiring procedures, have another tool in our belt…
What are they doing about the people they licensed? All the drivers should be retested at the very least.
Let’s name these schools , companies and individuals so we as an industry can assist in regulating the chameleon behaviors.
We have a right to safe roads and high ways.
-
Great idea. Stop hiding their names!
This was definitely some welcomed news to read, I’m glad to see our province doing something to help curb the issues in the trucking industry, we’ve seen action in British Columbia and Ontario taken to combat the problem companies and problem drivers, I’ve been patiently waiting for Alberta to act on something and here that is, I hope its just the begining of many more operations that will see the “problem outfits” eliminated and our hiways improved. Now I have to comment on some of these comments of the people saying trucks need to be governed at 100km/h but before I do, just know my credentials, I’m a 20+ year professional class 1 driver, zero accidents, zero points on my license, I pull super B’s mostly but there isnt much i havent pulled/hauled, , no, no they do not, obviously you don’t understand the difficulties in navigating a 63,500 kg vehicle up and down the roads in north America, and do not understand the bigger issues something like that would create, it ends up causing more chaos than it saves. What you picture in your head is a six lane divided hiway with truck travel limited to the right lane at no faster than 100km/h with the other two lanes being an organized parade of 4 wheelers all doing whatever speed they please, smiling, waving and sipping pumpkin spice latte’s and not worrying about a commercial truck pushing them because they are seemingly incapable of doing at least the posted speed limit of 110km/h or the other end of the spectrum, no longer being stuck behind a commercial truck, having a full blown 5 year old tantrum because that truck pulled out to pass one of the can’t do 110km/h drivers, the truck is going 118km/h doing their best to pass the “seemingly incapable of doing the speed limit” driver and well thats not the130km/h that they who are behind the truck feel they are entitled to be doing. No if you want the Alberta government to mandate trucks be governed at 100km/h okay then how bout they mandate ALL vehicles running Alberta hiways are to be governed at that speed, that keeps everyone at a “safe speed” and you can’t go wrong by keeping all vehicles at a safe regulated speed… except 90% percent of you saying trucks should be governed are the ones envisioning the above pumpkin spice latte paradise painted picture. By governing just trucks you are going to see a whole new list of problems, you will see trucks now doing 100km/h in a 90 zone, in an 80 zone, you’ll see more trucks speeding in the cities and anywhere the posted speed limit is less than100km/h, for those of you who are tantrum throwing 130km/h+ drivers, now you’re going to encounter trucks doing 100km/h flat out trying to pass other trucks that are only doing 97km/h and they don’t care where you need to be or how long its going to take them to pass they’re going to do it anyway and a lot of them will do it just to spite everybody that thought governing trucks at 100km/h was a good idea, now they’ll make you eat those words while you lose your mind stuck behind them at that speed, or on any two lane hiway you now find yourself stuck behind trucks crawling up hills at way slower than usual speeds, yeah because that truck can no longer get a run at that hill because they’re forced to be governed at 100km/h. Meanwhile the bad drivers are still out causing unnecessary wrecks, driving off roads and rolling over in ditches, closing entire hiways down for hours due to their incompetancy and/or stupidity and do you want to know a fun fact? The problematic truck drivers in this province/country that are causing the wrecks, the closed roads, spreading their loads along roadsides and in ditches when they leave the pavement and roll and most of all the ones causing injury or death to other innocent motorists caught up in their wake of incompetency? Those drivers are lucky if they can even drive 100km/h now, so implementing a law governing trucks is essentially doing nothing for safety, it simply allows those who can’t seem to do the posted speed limits to carry on holding up the rest of the world without the worry of a truck “pushing” or “crowding” them and further enables the entitled 130km/h+ people to carry on feeling entitled to do whatever they want without a truck slowing them to speeds still above the posted limit and only for a minute or two which is seemingly the end of the world to most of them.
It’s like this, 63,500kgs at 100km/h having a wreck is going to kill just as many people as 63,500kgs going 120km/h in the same wreck, bad drivers are just as bad at 60km/h as they are at 100km/h. If you want to see safer roads then you need to take the problem drivers off of them and our government has accomplished that with the above mentioned investigation/operation, no it hasn’t eliminated the problem but its the first steps in doing something that will see major improvements on our roads so long as they continue to pursue the problematic trucking companies, drivers and fraudulent and/or corrupt driving schools, its going to take some time before we see noticeable improvement but were pointed in the right direction nonetheless. Good job Alberta, keep it up.
it is good starting against bad actors in transportation industry. Crackdown don’t limited only bad drivers ,bad carriers, Bad Driving Schools and Bad mechanic shops and more deep middleman as well . they doing bad practice in transportation and damage to industry.
It’s about time! These forien owned, operating so called legitimate business have been breaking the Laws in Canada for decades!! They have No respect for Canada or how our legally operating businesses should be operating!! Don’t just shut them down Fine them so much money they can NEVER own or OPERATE Any Business in Canada ever AGAIN!!
So glad something is being done to help with safety issues on the highways. I have seen many instances of unsafe driving by seni drivers, speeding being a major issue. Kee up the good work and keep our highways safe.
This is welcome news. I think it’s a long time coming for this to happen.
These young guys driving these trucks like they are driving their personal vehicles.
It has become very scary to be around them.
Not like year’s ago when drivers took driving those large vehicles very serious and drove them respectfully.
Good luck on changing the industry.
We need it
Drivers are working for substandard wages and splitting time between carriers to avoid going over hours on one or the other carriers books. Often the same owner is for both companies and the driver has been trafficked into Canada for a fee and is working off the cost of circumventing the system. I have driven and dispatched and been a training supervisor in the industry and I know what I have said to be true.
European and Indian drivers are working for slave wages and paying off debt to traffickers. The industry has turned a blind eye because there is a driver shortage. Now we have an accident surplus and the roads are a mess. Class 1 driver training has been lacking for 30 years and the fix in place isn’t going to solve it. Cheap freight, low wages and poor equipment force experienced drivers to find new careers in other industries and the new guys never learn from them. There is a Billion dollar hole in the industry and European ownership of the largest fleets in Canada is not going to fix the situation.
I have been aroud this industry since i was in grade 3 thanks to my stepfather but in the last 20 years a huge influx of New Canadians have made trucking a joke as they can hardly speak English + can’t back up a 5 or 6 axel trailer + constantly run into things like railings or cement barricades = and most are Lease Operators almost every one of the have some sort of damage to their trucks. And this has been an overly exploited route into our Country and it needs to stop.
I worked for a commercial driving school that went belly-up because we followed the rules that were in place while we watched other schools get away with breaking them. We complained and to no avail. I’m glad they are out of business now, but I’m still out some money and my employer lost his livelihood trying to do the right thing.
If you’re gonna announce something like 13 companies being shut down at least name them. Penalties against companies should be suspension of their license. They’ll just start up a new company. I’ve worked for several trucking companies over my lifetime. The trucking industry is not what it was 20 years ago. It will never be the same.
Thank You for making our roads safer for all Canadians
How I can get the money back, because I am student driver in Skyway driving school in Edmonton since 2023 until right now they don’t give me challenges for road test and I heard the government closed the Skyway driving school.I pay off the fee $8000 to Skyway already
-
Why did you give him your money if you would be able to do your proper courses and do your lessons and pass test you wouldn’t be in this position
Thanks for the action on closing truck driving schools that arent up to professional standards, as a “Professional Driver” myself it would be great if the rest of the country would follow suit it would make our highways alot safer just today we had a Iway transport semi with trailer attached roll onto a major highway in Winnipeg no driver in it ,rolled right into traffic from gas station a few minutes later a man runs out of gas station to recover unit but to no avail apparently doors r locked nobody home.
thank you! now other jurisdictions need to do this. and as far as driver inc. CRA needs to get involved with the CBSA division
This is good news. It would be noce to have the names of the companies that have been shut down. How can we be sure they are no longer operating? My role is to sponsor students to attend driving schools but I never know which company is legit and they are charging $10,000 per student and I have no way of varyifying if this is a legit business or if students are getting proper driver training.
Hi, wow! why hasn,t this problem with these trucking companys and driving schools , and drivers from been taken off the road, come on now look what their doing too in- legal .drivers and and the people behind them that ,hired them . Canada her in the trucking indrustry makes me laugh the goverment here is starting too wake up on these issues. up here in canada we are copy cats with the u.s.a. in the trucking indrustry . We have a good look at these people like D.O.T. AND M.LA. AND GOVERMENT so lets get these bad actor out especally in the lower main land of B.C. were most of them are hiding. ths you U.SA. AND TRUMP!
Three cheers for the Alberta government. Hopefully other provinces follow suit and get the back actors benched.
There is no room for them in our industry and on our roads.
