Testing Truck Safety (46x4)

Air date: Oct 12, 2018

How easy it is to get a commercial truck driving license where you are? We hire someone to get his truck driving license in Saskatchewan and he passes after only 16 hours of training. But when we send him to take a road test in Ontario, he fails. After the Humboldt Broncos tragedy, even those in the industry argue it’s time to standardize truck driving training nationwide. We also crunch the numbers and learns that in just 5 years, there have been 1500 fatal truck crashes in Canada.
