Ontario is taking a major step toward the future of trucking with the launch of its Automated Commercial Motor Vehicle (ACMV) Pilot Program. This 10-year initiative allows automated heavy-duty trucks to be tested on public roads from August 1, 2025, to August 1, 2035.
The trucking industry is evolving rapidly as new truck technology continues to reshape how freight is moved, maintained, and managed. Understanding each emerging trend is essential for preparing your fleet and business for the future of the trucking industry.
Ontario’s new truck law and regulation changes, coming into effect in 2026, will impact how drivers and fleets operate. Understanding these regulations is essential for staying compliant, avoiding penalties, and keeping your truck on the road.
Winter in Ontario can be unpredictable, and for commercial truck drivers, that unpredictability often means road closures, detours, and delays that can disrupt schedules and logistics plans.
Ontario’s fall and winter bring beautiful scenery, but truck drivers face harsh conditions. Emergency preparedness is essential, as snow, ice, and unpredictable weather can quickly turn any haul dangerous.
Ontario drivers know one thing for sure: our weather keeps us on our toes. From humid summer heat to icy winter roads, each season brings unique challenges for heavy trucks. Understanding how weather affects your truck’s performance is key to avoiding costly breakdowns, staying safe, and keeping deliveries on schedule.
When it comes to keeping your fleet running smoothly, nothing is more critical than regular engine maintenance. Your truck’s diesel engine is its heart – and like any hard-working machine, it needs consistent care to perform at its best.
Tires are a key investment in your heavy truck’s performance, safety, and efficiency. With Ontario’s unpredictable weather and roads, choosing the right tire is essential for staying safe and running strong.
Staying healthy and fit as a truck driver in Ontario isn’t easy with fast food everywhere. But with simple strategies, you can keep your body running as smoothly as your truck.
