Trucking HR Canada to host national press conference

Trucking HR Canada has announced it will host a national press conference March 12 announcing the release of its Labour Market Information Report: The Road Ahead: Addressing Canada’s Trucking and Logistics Industry Labour Shortage.

In a release Trucking HR said the report will be the first of its kind to measure and assess the full trucking and logistics industry, providing the most informed analysis to date regarding critical labour gaps and the adverse impacts on the Canadian economy.

“This research provides important intelligence, not just for the Trucking and Logistics sector, but for every other critical sector in Canada that we support,” said Angela Splinter, Trucking HR Canada CEO. “We need everyone to understand the scope of our challenges, and opportunities, and this report does just that.”

Speakers at the press conference include Kristelle Audet, principal economist, The Conference Board of Canada; Myrna Chartrand, Manitoba Trucking Association 2018 Driver of the Year; Linda Young, Trucking HR Canada board chair and Bison Transport VP, human resources and people development and David Carruth, president and CEO of One for Eight.

For those not in the Toronto area, the press conference will be available via webcast.
