Canada’s trucking and logistics sector employed 13,400 fewer workers in March 2026 compared to March 2025 — a decrease of 1.8 percent, reports THRC.
Employment of transport truck drivers fell by 7.3% in the same period, shedding 23,600 jobs.
“These employment numbers are part of a trend of decreasing employment, especially for truck drivers, compared to the previous year,” says Craig Faucette, Chief Operating Officer at Trucking HR Canada. “The decline in employment, including driver employment, underscores the importance of targeted workforce strategies, and THRC is committed to providing the insights and solutions employers need to respond effectively.”
