After a series of commercial truck accidents resulting in deaths along highways 11/17, the provincial NDP call on the Ford government to take action to regulate truck driving schools.
TORONTO — After a number of fatal collisions on regional highways this winter, a northern Ontario MPP is calling on the province to take action.
It also found that “25 per cent of the 106 carriers testing their drivers under the program ranked among the worst one per cent for all carriers for all at fault collision performances.” Travis McDougall, a co-founder of Truckers for Safer Highways, also spoke at the press conference and talked about his first-hand accounts of unsafe truck drivers on the highway.
McDougall also notes that he is seeing commercial truck drivers reaching dangerous speeds through residential areas. Timiskaming-Cochrane NDP MPP John Vanthof said there are good truck driving schools in Ontario — and good truck drivers — stating that the trucking industry and its drivers perform a great service to the country, but “some don’t understand that they are driving 40-tonne missiles.”
