OTA Provides Trucking Perspectives to Global Automakers Canada

Share

OTA had the opportunity this week to speak at the quarterly meeting of Transportation and Logistics Committee of the Global Automakers of Canada.   

Like similar messaging delivered to supply chain groups across the country, OTA’s message was simple: “Driver Inc and the Underground Economy are flourishing due to a lack of enforcement at the federal level. All supply chain members need to be aware of this, do their part to eradicate the practice and protect themselves from this exposure,” said Geoff Wood, OTA’s Sr VP Policy.  

The group was provided tip sheets and references to help raise awareness of the Driver Inc. issue, as well as opportunities to develop screening tools to protect their supply chains from this non-compliant business model.  

OTA will continue to educate and work with the Global Automakers and like-minded groups in the supply chain to ensure they can meet and maintain their ESG values when it comes to transportation, and their trucking supply chains are secured against the infiltration of Driver Inc.
