FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Milton, ON:
The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada and Benchmark Sponsor, Ontario Truck Driving School, have announced that the 6th annual PMTC Canadian Private Fleet benchmarking survey instrument is live as of today, February 7th. This study is open for completion by all Private Fleets which have a base of operations in Canada. PMTC Membership is not a requirement.
“For the last 5 years the PMTC has partnered with the National Private Truck Council and re-introduced the first Canadian specific private benchmarking survey reports since 2011” remarked PMTC President Mike Millian. “The response to these surveys and the quality of the Benchmarking report produced have been gratifying and provide a valuable tool and resource to our membership. As a result, we are once again partnering with the NPTC for the 2022 Survey. The NPTC has been producing a private fleet benchmark survey in the USA annually since 2005, and by partnering with them again, the PMTC feels it is guaranteeing another quality and highly respected report for our members”
The PMTC has a benchmarking committee, made up of Canadian operators who review the survey annually. The committee works on shaping the survey and updating it to ensure it is reflective of the current Canadian marketplace. This input is invaluable in ensuring the survey instrument is current, relevant and valuable to Canadian fleets.
The survey is designed for the benefit of PMTC members, and its results will only be provided, at no charge, with their PMTC membership. The survey is yet another value add that will allow private fleets to benchmark their operations to other best-in class performers. A performance evaluation/ validation and opportunity identification guide based on industry standards of excellence. This free value to our members would not be possible without the support of our Sponsor for 2022, Ontario Truck Driving School. “We are thrilled that OTDS has choose to partner with the PMTC and its members and has chosen to invest in sponsoring this survey for a 3rd consecutive year! This sponsorship helps to cover the costs of the report, which allows the PMTC to provide this report free to its membership.”, continued Millian.
“As a Registered Private Career College, who prides ourselves on maintaining the highest education standards resulting in the best "in class" entry level drivers to the Trucking Industry, we at OTDS feel sponsoring a survey that allows fleets to compare best practices and bench mark their operations to help them be best in class at what they do, was a natural fit. We are proud to help the PMTC make this resource available to its members” stated OTDS President and CEO Gus Rahim.
- The results of the benchmarking report will be released on June 10th, 2022, and an overview will be provided at the PMTC’s annual conference on June 9th.
- Participants in the survey, who are PMTC members, will be invited to sit in on a special pre-release webcast to review the results in detail.
- In addition, those member companies that participate in the survey are welcome to request specialized, customized reports to better calibrate their operation against best-in-class performers.

Vaccine Mandate for Essential Workers
Vaccination Status Survey
The PMTC has concerns about the effects the upcoming border vaccine mandates for essential workers are going to have on an already fractured supply chain. With the support of your board of directors, we have reached out to officials on the Canadian and US side of the border and encourage you to do the same. Feel free to use some points from the attached communications if you wish, as well as the stats from the survey. You do not need to have a trucking fleet to express your concerns. If you depend on trucks to get your products back and forth across the Canada-US border, this mandate is likely to have a severe effect on you as well.
Feel free to reach back if you have any questions or concerns.

For Immediate release
PMTC & the PMTC Young Leaders Group donate to B.C. Flood relief efforts
The PMTC’s board of directors have voted unanimously to donate $1500.00 to the Salvation Army to help those in need as a result of the devastating effects of the floods that continue to batter the people of British Columbia. “The effects of the atmospheric river that occurred in B.C. on November 15th, and the follow up storms that have continued, have caused devasting effects on people’s lives in the great Province of B.C., with many people being homeless and having to be evacuated. “Commented PMTC President Mike Millian. “We have also seen such damage to infrastructure that the flow of goods from the rest of the country to and from the lower mainland of B.C. has been challenging and will continue to be for quite some time. We felt this small gesture was the least we could do, and we encourage all others in the industry to consider making a donation as well. A secure link to do so is below.

In addition, the PMTC Young Leaders Group is hosting their annual Christmas meeting and trivia night, this year virtually, on December 9th at 7pm. In previous years, the group has donated to the local area food bank of one it’s members. This year, the group has chosen to donate to the flood efforts in B.C. as well and will be donating $500.00 to the salvation army B.C. relief fund.
PMTC Chair Matt Richardson added “Around the holiday season the YLG always looks to give back whether that be to local food banks or community organizations but this year, it was an easy decision to direct our donations and the donations of our membership to the relief efforts in British Columbia. What has transpired there is devastating in a number of ways and every little bit helps.”
Registration to attend the event is free, however the YLG encourages everyone who attends to consider a donation the fund. If you are interested in attending, please back to the PMTC office at info@pmtc.ca
