Good morning,
I am fairly new to the trucking industry, I am not a Driver/Operator, Carrier, or hold any affiliation with any transport company.
Going through some of the threads on this forum and speaking a few people in this industry, there does not seem to any one set of rules of practice or guidelines for operations.
The MTO and the Province look after the safety of the general public on the roads, but no one really manages the ethics and operations of any transport company.
In the last few months I have come across a number of ethical and unethical practices in the industry; everything from skimming from clients and other drivers. Having shippers and receivers pay longer than the allowed net time.
My question, is there a self-regulating or self-governing body or organization that protects the driver/operators and transport companies from shippers/receivers and the general public?
Thank you,
For your responses.
