Overview

• The province ordered five driver training schools closed and issued 39 disciplinary letters, more than $100,000 in administrative penalties, six corrective action plans, and four warnings to examiners while revoking 12 instructor licences.
• Thirteen trucking companies were removed from Alberta roads for poor performance or safety violations, including seven identified as “chameleon” operators that rebrand or relocate to evade oversight.
• Targeting the Drivers Inc. misclassification scheme follows a July check stop where roughly 20% of 195 drivers were suspected of being improperly classified, including several temporary foreign workers.
• April’s Class 1 Learning Pathway raised training requirements to 125–133 in‑truck hours with stricter licensing, mandatory safety equipment standards, and enhanced monitoring of instructors.
• Work with federal, provincial and territorial partners and the CCMTA is underway on a national database and driver experience records set to follow the driver by late 2025 to improve transparency and enforcement.
