PMTC’s position on CCMTA Federal ELD Enforcement Timelines Announcement

Earlier today the CCMTA released a message to industry on Federal ELD Enforcement timelines. The full enforcement date was set to take effect on June 12th of this year. In the release, which can be accessed below, the CCMTA have announced that full enforcement of the Federal ELD Regulation will be delayed until January 1st of 2023. The current regime of enforcement through education & awareness will continue until that time.

“The PMTC is in favour of the delay of full enforcement of the ELD mandate. While we have always been in full support of the ELD regulation, the continued issues with a lack of approved devices have continued to plague the mandate, and although we now have 22 approved, industry has not been provided enough of a runway to select a device of their choice and implement it into their fleet in time for the June 12th deadline. We are also waiting for a PKI vendor and system to be announced by Transport Canada that allows for ELD data to be transferred securely from the device to enforcement personnel, as well as enforcement protocols, training and how the regulation will be enforced uniformly between jurisdictions. This final delay provides enough time for industry to select a new approved device, or transition from their current device, in time to comply with the mandate, as well as provide enough time for regulators to address some of the issues mentioned. I suspect this will be the last delay in full enforcement we can expect to see, and carriers should ensure they are fully prepared to comply by January of 2023.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE    

 

Milton, ON:

 

The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada and Benchmark Sponsor, Ontario Truck Driving School, have announced that the 6th annual PMTC Canadian Private Fleet benchmarking survey instrument is live as of today, February 7th.  This study is open for completion by all Private Fleets which have a base of operations in Canada. PMTC Membership is not a requirement.

“For the last 5 years the PMTC has partnered with the National Private Truck Council and re-introduced the first Canadian specific private benchmarking survey reports since 2011” remarked PMTC President Mike Millian. “The response to these surveys and the quality of the Benchmarking report produced have been gratifying and provide a valuable tool and resource to our membership. As a result, we are once again partnering with the NPTC for the 2022 Survey.  The NPTC has been producing a private fleet benchmark survey in the USA annually since 2005, and by partnering with them again, the PMTC feels it is guaranteeing another quality and highly respected report for our members”

The PMTC has a benchmarking committee, made up of Canadian operators who review the survey annually. The committee works on shaping the survey and updating it to ensure it is reflective of the current Canadian marketplace. This input is invaluable in ensuring the survey instrument is current, relevant and valuable to Canadian fleets. 

The survey is designed for the benefit of PMTC members, and its results will only be provided, at no charge, with their PMTC membership. The survey is yet another value add that will allow private fleets to benchmark their operations to other best-in class performers. A performance evaluation/ validation and opportunity identification guide based on industry standards of excellence. This free value to our members would not be possible without the support of our Sponsor for 2022, Ontario Truck Driving School. “We are thrilled that OTDS has choose to partner with the PMTC and its members and has chosen to invest in sponsoring this survey for a 3rd consecutive year!  This sponsorship helps to cover the costs of the report, which allows the PMTC to provide this report free to its membership.”, continued Millian.

“As a Registered Private Career College, who prides ourselves on maintaining the highest education standards resulting in the best "in class" entry level drivers to the Trucking Industry, we at OTDS feel sponsoring a survey that allows fleets to compare best practices and bench mark their operations to help them be best in class at what they do, was a natural fit. We are proud to help the PMTC make this resource available to its members” stated OTDS President and CEO Gus Rahim.

  • The results of the benchmarking report will be released on June 10th, 2022, and an overview will be provided at the PMTC’s annual conference on June 9th.  
  • Participants in the survey, who are PMTC members, will be invited to sit in on a special pre-release webcast to review the results in detail.
  • In addition, those member companies that participate in the survey are welcome to request specialized, customized reports to better calibrate their operation against best-in-class performers.

To complete the survey, please click on the link provided below, which will bring up a fillable pdf. Complete the copy, save it to your computer and send your replies back to info@pmtc.ca. Carriers will have until April 8th to complete and submit their responses. The PMTC Benchmark Study can also be found on the PMTC website at www.pmtc.ca under the Publications Tab.

Vaccine Mandate for Essential Workers 
Vaccination Status Survey 

The PMTC has concerns about the effects the upcoming border vaccine mandates for essential workers are going to have on an already fractured supply chain. With the support of your board of directors, we have reached out to officials on the Canadian and US side of the border and encourage you to do the same. Feel free to use some points from the attached communications if you wish, as well as the stats from the survey. You do not need to have a trucking fleet to express your concerns. If you depend on trucks to get your products back and forth across the Canada-US border, this mandate is likely to have a severe effect on you as well.

Feel free to reach back if you have any questions or concerns.
