Restore Law and Order to Ontario’s Highways
Unsafe trucks and untrained drivers are sharing the highway with Ontario families every day. The government has taken steps to address this, but much more needs to be done.
Join the Ontario Safety campaign and demand Queen's Park act now.
Rogue operators are cutting corners on safety, exploiting vulnerable workers, and undercutting honest carriers who follow the rules. The laws are on the books. The necessary enforcement effort required to address the situation has not been fully deployed.
Ontario families deserve highways where safety comes first.
Sign up today to demand the Government of Ontario does more to Protect Ontario.
Open the Scales. All Day. Every Day.
Truck inspection stations only work when they are open. Right now, only 3 of Ontario's 34 truck inspection stations operate 24/7. Ontario must keep all 34 running around the clock with full enforcement teams on site so rogue operators cannot slip through unchecked. Doing so could save dozens of lives. The safety oversight system is only as effective as the data it receives.
End the Uninspected Free Pass
Too many carriers hold a Satisfactory rating without ever being verified. Ontario must require regular, mandatory on-site inspections for every carrier on the road.
Stop Letting Non-Compliant Operators Win
Rogue operators using Driver Inc. carry a 30% cost advantage, not because they are more efficient, but because they skip the costs honest carriers pay. Misclassified drivers, unpaid taxes, and ignored safety rules are not a business model. Ontario must expand onsite inspections and enforcement against all non-compliant operators.
Protect Small Businesses by Enforcing the Rules
Honest carriers who pay their taxes, follow the rules, and invest in safety are being undercut and forced out by competitors who engage in unfair competition through non-compliant practices. A level playing field starts with enforcement. Small businesses should not have to pay to keep non-compliant operators in business.
Demand Action in Your Community
Illegal trucking is happening in Caledon, Brampton, and communities across Ontario right now. Illegal truck parking is turning neighbourhoods into makeshift truck yards. Undertrained drivers are navigating local intersections. Uninspected rigs are sharing the road with school buses and family vehicles.
Take Organized Crime Off Our Roads
Truck theft, extortion, and violence are rising across Ontario. The province must fund enforcement to match the scale of the threat and strengthen security at truck inspection stations.
Stop Protecting High-Risk Carriers
Truck theft, extortion, and violence are rising across Ontario. The province must fund enforcement to match the scale of the threat and strengthen security at truck inspection stations.
Fix Training to Improve Safety in Northern Ontario
Drivers handling complex commercial vehicles need better training, especially on Northern Ontario highways. Ontario should complete its training review and introduce licensing rules that match drivers to the vehicles they operate.
Is Enforcement Hurting Small Business? Think Again.
Some are arguing that enforcement hurts small business. The opposite is true.
Ontario's small trucking operators built their businesses the right way - paying their taxes, following the rules, and investing in proper training and safety. They are losing business to rogue operators engaging in unfair competition through non-compliant practices, carrying a 30% cost advantage built on misclassified drivers and unpaid taxes.
Enforcement of the rules does not hurt small businesses. It protects them. Driver Inc. is not a model for small fleets. It is a shortcut that drives legitimate companies out of business through non-compliance. A level playing field starts with enforcement.
Small businesses should not have to pay to keep non-compliant operators in business.
