Canadian trucking reacts to promised crackdown on driver misclassification, jobs minister gives more details

yes but will the budget pass and any of it actually happen or are we going to the polls and get to start all over.
A return to the polls is the last thing any party wants right now. The Liberals don’t want it, the NDP can’t afford it, and the Conservatives (especially P.P.) aren’t doing well enough in the public opinion polls to risk it. Of course right now, all of the opposition parties have to be seen publicly as really giving this a lot of sober thought and consideration when in reality none of them want to have an election. We will see.
 
Glad to hear there is some enforcement, but im sure sitting outside of the Kitchener Self Storage on New Dundee Road and ohhhh how about that Amazon facility would net more results. Reminds me of Ride programs, performative measures at best. Go park where the action is happening.
 
One of our drivers was pulled over by MTO in Ayr yesterday and questioned about his pay structure. The Inspection Report notes it was a "Drivers Inc inspection"
Everyone has their opinion on Drivers Inc but being pulled over for a Drivers Inc Inspection. Is this not profiling? Is this not the slippery slope that is gives an excuse to pull you over. How would they distinguish who is or isn't by a truck driving down the road? Color of skin of the driver or name on the CVOR? Agree with Drivers Inc or Not I don't believe they are correct.

Looks like a soft tire is why I pulled you over sir and by the way how are you paid? Easy peazy and happy as hell they are doing it.

You guys are 100 percent correct and I agree with you! But when its only put down as a Drivers Inc Inspection and not as a tire issue or anything else the problem starts. Question I actually have is if they ask how are you paid how can they prove they are telling the truth? What would be the fine and is there CVOR points involved?

Damn man I never seen the MTO pull someone over just to ask a question. They'll find something else to look at.

Why does anyone think that Driver Inc drivers would be of any specific nationality? Fraudsters originate from all over the world, there's plenty of people trying to find ways not to pay tax. Some are legal avenues, Driver Inc is not.

Keep well,

Soft bigotry of low expectations, I believe is the phrase.
