An Improved Trucking Industry Should Include Skilled Trades
#skilledtrades #trucking #truckingindustry #podcast
The Trucking Industry is in a state of turmoil from road safety to bypassing of labour laws, and more. There is a solution that makes sense and has been talked about in the past-skilled trades. Making trucking a skilled trade would solve some of the problems and offer a system for people new to the industry to follow to have a successful career path. Host Bruce Outridge talks about it on the podcast.
This episode is sponsored by Bison Transport with many opportunities for truck drivers in their fleet across Canada.
