The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is asking members for feedback by outlining inter-provincial trucking barriers that create logistical and operational issues for fleets, as well as other constraints/irritants leading to supply chain inefficiencies and delays for drivers. The Alliance plans to raise these to the Government of Canada in June and present potential solutions.
Some recurring concerns that have been raised by members in the past include policies around winter maintenance agreements; the need for increased rest areas to serve truck drivers; and issues for oversize/overweight carriers with permitting regimes, or other illogical constraints between jurisdictions, such as time of day travel restrictions and other issues impacting supply chain fluidity.
Members are encouraged to send feedback, including roadways which continue to have hazardous conditions, specific locations where rest stops are required, and other inter-provincial issues to the attention of operations_safety@cantruck.ca by May 31, 2023.
