Entry-level truck
driver training
standard moves forward at national level
Canada’s transportation and highway safety ministers have delivered a promise to enhance highway safety by approving a national entry-level training standard for commercial motor vehicle drivers, which will ulti-
mately be included in the National Safety Code. The standard is yet to be officially published but according to industry reports, it will echo mandatory entry-level training standards (MELT) adopted in Ontario. We welcome this important road safety milestone aimed to ensure that future truck drivers across Canada have the knowl- edge and skills to safely operate their vehicles.
Stress and poor mental health are known to affect many Canadian and U.S. long-haul truck drivers. As a first step in deter- mining the scope of the problem, the researchers at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., are conducting an online survey on mental health issues. The study will look at risk factors for depression (such as poor sleep, fatigue, long durations of driving) and the information generated by the research will be suitably used to improve the working environment of long-haul truckers. We encourage our readers to participate in the online survey avail- able at roadtoday.com
Truck World - Canada’s largest truck show will be held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., from April 16-18. The show will have several new features this year including a new product window showcase, and a driving experience exhibit that will allow attendees to test their driving skills using two different interactive technologies. The new TruckTech Fleet Summit for maintenance professionals will include panel discussions on corrosion, aftertreatment systems, trailer telematics, and main- tenance implications for electric vehicles. The Knowledge Stop information stops will cover topics like augmented and virtual reality, ELDs, etc. A dedicated recruitment pavilion at show will have employers hiring new drivers as well as other industry pro- fessionals. There will be fun activities for kids and families, plus chance to win many exciting prizes too.
As the official South Asian media partner, we invite all our readers to visit the show as it offers best opportunities to learn, network and equip with resources to succeed. For free tickets and savings of $20, use VIP Promo Code ROADTODAY to register in advance at www.truckworld.ca/register
