MILTON, Ont. — Private fleet operators will be exposed to topics as diverse as electric vehicles, data analytics, and the “truth about commercial insurance” during the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada’s annual conference in 2020.

Registration opens today for the event that will run from June 10-12, hosted at the Sheraton on the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ont.

The conference begins with an annual general meeting for PMTC members and invited guests on June 10, as well as a presentation on the future of fuel and energy predictions by the Portland Fuel Company.

Meanwhile, the educational portion of the program runs June 11-12, and will include a legal update, private fleet benchmarking survey, Ontario Ministry of Transportation updates, and a U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration update.
