The economic deregulation of buses, airlines, trucking and railways, which took place in the 1980’s in North America has transformed the nature of the trucking industry and the easy entry into this area compared to former times. It has not meant that safety has had its Regulations lessoned. In this seminar, the speaker, Dr. Richard Lande, will share with us an overview on the below areas:
- review the meaning of Regulation, as it pertains to the transportation industry.
- delineate between the stakeholders of the Canadian transportation industry. The requirements to
become a load broker for Canadian provinces are far different than in the US, under the FMSCA.
- explain how certain companies can wear 5 or 6 hats, for example carrier, broker, warehouseman,
international freight forwarder and cross dock agent.
- describe the particular penalties related to truck drivers in Canada, as well as the requirements for
various authorisations. For example, in the Province of Ontario, a Commercial Vehicle Operators Registration Certificate (CVOR), is issued only after a Shareholder or Director of a company, passes the exam at the Ministry of Transport and the truck is subjected to a 36-day safety check.
- identify the contents of prototypical contracts between carriers and manufacturing companies.
- describe the hours of service restrictions for drivers, as well as eLog Book requirements in the
future and the process in Canada of appealing a suspended license or a failed safety audit.
- describe the future impact of semi-autonomous trucks on the highways (if time allows).
