#driverinc #truckingindustry #trucking #cta Canadian Trucking Alliance calls 'Driver Inc.' biggest threat to industry The national voice of the trucking industry in Canada is renewing calls for the federal government to pump the brakes on what it says is a $1-billion scam. The scam, which the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) has coined "Driver Inc.", occurs when companies incorrectly classify drivers as independent contractors, instead of employees to save money on payroll taxes. "We believe that in some parts of Canada at least a third of the companies and the drivers are participating in this, and it's hurting us twofold as a society," said Stephen Laskowski, CTA president and CEO. "Those are taxes that aren't going into our [economy], and on the flip side of it, it's about a 30 per cent advantage in the marketplace." Laskowski described Driver Inc. as a tax evasion scheme and says some trucking companies are purposely misclassifying drivers to save money. He says drivers also lose labour protections including fair pay, overtime and vacation pay, as well as health and safety protections. In 2021, the government made it illegal for federally regulated employers to misclassify employees, and added penalties for non-compliance.
