NORTH BAY, ONT -- Truckers using the Trans Canada through Northern Ontario should keep their Spidey sense on high over the next nine months as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) step up their commercial vehicle enforcement.

It's the 14th year in a row that the two organizations worked together to target non-compliant busses and trucks and this year, they're buckling down on unbuckled seatbelts.

According to the cops, more than a million drivers and passengers still fail to buckle up; and these unbelted folks account for more than 25 percent of all MVA fatalities in Ontario.

The OPP and MTO will also be looking for your standard safety-related defects such as brakes, steering and suspension components, tires and wheels, and insecure loads.

As in any campaign the good will have nothing to fear. Its encouraging to see less reputable operators and drivers being weeded out, leaving the compliant to carry on trucking.
