When the supply chain stumbles, Canadians notice at the grocery store first and on the receipt a few weeks later.

CTA's supply chain work stays focused on the parts that keep goods moving across the country:

1️⃣ Border clearance
2️⃣ Highway and bridge infrastructure
3️⃣ Carriers running the routes day after day

CTA estimates the Ontario-Michigan gateway alone sees more than 4.2 million trucks a year cross the Ambassador and Blue Water bridges, carrying about $210 billion in Canada-U.S. trade.

A bad afternoon at either crossing reaches a long way.

After more than a decade of CTA pressure on Driver Inc., 2026 is the year action catches up.

Budget 2025 puts $77 million over four years into enforcement and revives T4A reporting. 💯

Trucking is the sole sector named for audits.

If you run a compliant fleet, you have been carrying the cost of operators who undercut prices and put unsafe equipment on the road. That is finally changing.

A Loophole You Can Drive a Truck Though: This morning the Editorial page of the The Globe and Mail takes aim at why the Driver Inc crisis was allowed to proliferate for more than a decade, despite years of warnings by CTA and others.

".. The 14-year, ahem, temporary moratorium swung open the door for tax evasion and fueled the emergence of Driver Inc. Unscrupulous businesses were able to pretend that their employees were private contractors, dodging otherwise mandatory employer contributions. And the lack of a T4A slip deprived the CRA of a readily available tool to spot abuse.

"The possibility of enabling the growth of the underground economy should have been obvious from the start. And any excuse for inaction had vanished by late 2018, when the standing committee on finance flagged the industry’s concerns over Driver Inc. in its annual pre-budget report. That report notes that “the Canadian Trucking Alliance urged the government to stop the widespread tax evasion practice known as ‘Driver Inc.’”

"Of course, those (Driver Inc) companies are responsible for their actions, both legally and morally. They should be held to account, starting with the Canada Revenue Agency ensuring that they all pay every cent owing in taxes, interest and penalties. Fines are likely in order. And if there is evidence of criminal fraud, those cases should be pursued vigorously.

Canada is short on truck drivers. 🚚

The shortage shows up at carrier bids, in shipper quotes, and on grocery shelves whenever a route stalls. It's not solved by another recruitment poster.

The fix is training that prepares drivers properly and a hiring system that actually works for the industry.

CTA pushes Ottawa on both.

If a career in trucking is on your radar, the industry is hiring.

Trucking is a safety-critical job. The training, equipment, and hours-of-service rules already exist. 🚨

What is missing is consistent enforcement on the operators who treat all of it as optional.

That is where CTA spends a lot of its policy time.

If you run a compliant carrier, you should not be competing with someone willing to bend the rules to win a bid.

Unfair practices in trucking aren’t new. They’re ongoing, and they’re costing the industry.

For over a decade, CTA has been sounding the alarm on driver misclassification and “chameleon carriers” evading safety and accountability. 🚨

Now, in 2026, that work is turning into action.

With governments aligning on enforcement, CTA is advancing a clear mandate to:

✔️ Crack down on illegal carriers
✔️ Improve data sharing across jurisdictions
✔️ Strengthen transparency and safety standards

The goal is simple: protect compliant fleets and ensure a level playing field.

The cost of Driver Inc. impacts every Canadian. 🇨🇦

CTA is calling on all Canadians to maintain the pressure and ensure the federal government follows through with real enforcement.

The 2026 CUSMA review is moving, and on June 11th the IRU is hosting a webinar with trade experts who are tracking the negotiations in real time.

The session covers what changes could require legislative approval, where bilateral versus regional approaches are likely to land, and how the outcomes will hit cross-border operations.

If you ship into the U.S. or Mexico, this one is worth the hour.
