Truck News
A Caledon, Ont.-based community group is asking the federal government to strengthen oversight of commercial drivers and trucking operations, arguing current enforcement, training, and accountability gaps are putting public safety at risk.
The group says the issue is particularly acute in Caledon and surrounding areas bordering Brampton and Vaughan, where heavy truck traffic intersects with growing residential communities.

It says dozens of active investigations into illegal truck yard complaints are currently underway in Caledon alone.
