Special edition to focus on training issues and more

The Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO) has named Private Motor Carrier magazine the official publication of the organization’s first-ever annual conference, scheduled for Feb. 23 and 24.

The January/February edition of the national magazine will include articles about trends in transportation training, the complete conference agenda, speaker bios, and a training school directory. Bonus distribution will reach out to training schools across Canada, driver placement agencies, and every conference attendee.

Private Motor Carrier is also the official publication of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC), and is distributed to the readers who oversee private and dedicated contract fleets.

“The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada became a strategic partner with the Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario earlier this year. Private Motor Carrier magazine is thrilled to build on that cooperation by becoming a strategic partner and associate member as well,” said John G. Smith, publisher and editor in chief. “With this special conference edition, we’ll be able to provide private and dedicated fleets with valuable insight into training initiatives and related services.”

Smith also committed to conference coverage in the magazine and through www.privatefleetinfo.com.

Training initiatives are becoming increasingly important to private fleets, and one of the scheduled conference seminars will include the future of recruiting in these unique operating environments.

“John G. has been a long-time supporter of the Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario and been involved in transportation training initiatives across Canada. We’re thrilled that he is committing the magazine’s resources to help make our annual conference the best it can be,” said Kim Richardson, TTSAO chairman of the board.

The TTSAO conference kicks off at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Mississauga, Ont. with a reception at 6 p.m. on Feb. 23. The next day, the agenda is packed with an array of information sessions.

The System in place currently has been broken for a long time, and solutions offered by Industry have yet to be acted upon

Currently Commercial Motor Carriers who wish to operate a trucking fleet in Canada must apply for a Safety Fitness Certificate to the Provincial Authority in which they plan to licence their vehicles. If the Provincial Authority of the base jurisdiction approves the application, a National Safety Code (NSC) will be issued to the Carrier. The base jurisdiction is then responsible for monitoring the motor carrier for safety and compliance, based on National Safety Code 14, which is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) all jurisdictions agreed to several years back. https://www.ccmta.ca/en/national-safety-code
