Saskatchewan introduces minimum semi-truck driver training

You would think BC would get on board with mandatory training considering the carnage caused out there by dim witted immigrants

 

They can't afford to scare them off. Trucker wages don't pay enough to be able to afford to live in BC

 

Quite frankly, the local gravel haulers in Manitoba and now snow haulers are scaring me more than the immigrants. Wow are those guys dangerous.

 

121.5 doesn't sound like an industry compromise number, not at all.

 

While I agree that training for new drivers in general is a good thing, no amount of training will stop someone from using their phone, falling asleep, etc; don't know if that's what happened at Humboldt, but it's possible.

 

Not nearly enough. Once the Indians get into doing these programs it will reverse all these efforts to make roads safer. My buddy did the MELT program in Ontario a couple weeks back and the driving school signed off most of his papers even though he wasn't in class. Only thing he was in class for was his airbrake class. Did about 20 hours of driving and passed his provincial road test, the driving school signed off on the other 90 hours. Don't even get me started with some of these corrupt drive test people.

 

Sounds like a typical Ontario driving school mill.

 

I'm Indian myself but was born and raised in Canada. I know all the slick tricks they use in the trucking industry, disgusting people. Basically every other Indian driving school is a mill, they cover up their tracks really well so it's hard to detect. Many people say introducing mandatory training will make the roads safer but that really isn't the case. Just another way to make the motoring public feel "safer".
