Hidden cameras and internal documents reveal how unqualified truckers are getting on our highways. Trucking is the lifeline of Canada’s economy, and as the country faces a shortage of drivers, Marketplace uncovers shocking details about how some new recruits are finding their way onto our roads, including through bribes, forged documents and a failure of oversight and enforcement.
Following the publication of our investigation Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation provided an additional statement to Marketplace.
Referring to their relationship with SERCO, who operates Ontario’s DriveTest centres, they said, “If SERCO is unable to control fraud in the programs it administers, we will re-evaluate the contract with them. We expect full accountability from all partners, and failure to meet our standards will have severe consequences.”
