ORILLIA, Ont. — Yes, the cops are out in full force today. And they’re aiming for you, so keep your eyes on the road and make sure your truck and your paperwork is in top shape before heading out over the next couple days.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and the Ministry of the Environment are working together on Operation Corridor — a 24-hour province-wide blitz targeting aggressive commercial truck drivers and their equipment.

The campaign began this morning along Highway 401 from Windsor to the Quebec border and on Highway 11/17 in northern Ontario and ends tomorrow at 6 a.m.

And even if the cop cars aren’t in plain sight, be aware the OPP is using aircraft surveillance to support its personnel and resources on the ground.

Operation Corridor focuses on high visibility, enforcement and education opportunities on major highways. It is part of the OPP’s Provincial Traffic Safety Program.

"Because of (commercial vehicles’) significant potential for serious injuries and death, we are working with our safety partners in an effort to lower speeds, reduce aggressive driving and to ensure trucks are mechanically fit," says OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino.

"Commercial vehicle drivers who demonstrate a lack of respect for the fundamental rules of the road compromise their own safety as well as that of other motorists," he says, before adding: "Truck drivers are among the safest drivers on the road."

While the OPP will concentrate on commercial vehicle speed and moving violation safety, MTO and Ministry of the Environment inspectors will check trucks for unsafe units and those not meeting emission standards.

Last year, the same project saw 1,200 truck drives stopped and 385 charges laid, including 188 for speeding and 63 for faulty equipment.
