Thanks I agree that make ot look like am picking some people. That is not the case I have many friends from those areas and treat them as equal. I was a private party with some on Dec 24 after a meeting to make things better for all owners ops and company drivers.

The only problem I had with them is the trucks are governed at 100 KM/HR. That is too slow when you are traveling into the western provinces where the limit is 110 KM/HR but everyone, including western based trucks, are going 120 KM/HR!

While you and I disagree on many things, for once, you are not wrong.
(Although you should refrain from saying “from certain parts of the world”)

Many are buying or leasing units with the help of a non-profit or cco op structure
Many are using dispatch and book keepers from India
We have too many trucks for current freight volumes
Look at what happened in the U K when the tax rules were changed 4 yrs ago
Holland has a much better solution as does California to pay drivers fairly with overtime on payroll. If we follow the California rules and set min pay of 23 euro/ hr like Holland plus housing first for sick and injured transport workers driver Inc will go away along with cheap freight.
