CBC Radio Interviews Mayne Root About Shortage of Rest Stops in Canada

AMTA was in the news last week when the Association’s executive director Mayne Root was interviewed by CBC Radio’s drive-in show.

Root talked about the lack of rest stops in Canada and the challenge that presents to commercial transport drivers in complying with hours of service regulations.

The interview was prompted by the fact that Transport Canada is undertaking a major review of rest stops in Canada.

Transport Canada is currently engaging in a survey of the trucking industry and wants to hear from truck drivers about their perspective (and ideas) of how the issue should be addressed. To find out more about the survey, please visit: www.cantruck.ca  (see related “Truck Parking” icon on homepage).
