Stay tuned for upcoming announcements about the Take the Wheel Mobile Recruitment Centre’s returning this spring and summer. Here are some throwback pictures from last year.

Here is an interesting editorial from Today's Trucking News about attracting young drivers to the industry. "Young people are an important demographic to attract if the trucking industry hopes to overcome the driver shortage."

One way to attract young employees is through new technologies being utilized in the trucking industry. For example, "One thing we have going for us when it comes to attracting young employees is the technology that's in the truck. But we don't do enough to promote it. Spec' those trucks up with all the tech you can and young drivers will come. They will embrace 'cool' technologies like adaptive cruise control, driver coaching apps, pre-trip assistants, etc. Not to mention the zero-emission trucks that are coming in the not-too-distant future."

There is a shortage of truck drivers in Canada. Now is the time to take the wheel and start a promising new career in trucking!

Here is some crucial information from the Canadian Trucking Alliance:

"As all Canadians have become acutely aware, there is a critical commercial driver shortage exacerbating the North American supply chain challenges everyone has been experiencing. In its 2022 Pre-budget submission, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) has submitted a plan for the Government of Canada to address the critical commercial driver shortage and help secure Canada's economic recovery by stabilizing the supply chain."

"Currently, there are over 23,000 truck driver vacancies in Canada, which is expected to increase to over 55,000 vacancies in 2024," said CTA Chair Jean-Claude Fortin. "This shortage of professional drivers is having a negative impact on the supply chain and, by extension, the economic recovery of Canada."

CTA has several recommendations, which you can read here:

Trucking Industry Opportunities

We’ve already seen and heard that so many jobs are available for truck drivers. But, maybe driving is not your strength. Perhaps being a truck driver is not the career for you, but you are ready for an exciting challenge.

Don’t worry – there is good news for you. There are many other in-demand careers in the transportation industry related to truck driving, but they don’t require you to get behind the wheel of a rig with a fully loaded 53-foot trailer. Many of these careers support the transportation field, provide excellent employment opportunities with benefits, and enrich our economy.

So, for all of you non-drivers out there, here are some related careers that might interest you.

• Dispatcher
• Diesel Technician
• Logistics Coordinator
• Safety and Compliance
• Information Technology Support
• Material Handler/Forklift Operator
• Human Resources/Recruiting

As you can see, there are many rewarding careers related to truck driving that don’t require you to drive a rig! These are but a few related occupations worthy of consideration.

Top Ten Questions to Ask a Truck Driving School, Part 3.

Are you ready to shift into your trucking career? Is it your time to try something new and do you need formal training? Everyone learns differently and finding the right fit for you is essential to getting your career off to the best start.

We’ve compiled a list of questions for you to help you make the right decision when choosing your truck driving training school.

Here are questions 8 to 10:

8. How will the school prepare me for winter driving?

This one is easy if you are taking a course in January or February; however, if you are taking a course in July, the first time you drive in the snow and ice will be on the job, make sure the school you choose has a method to prepare you.

9. What post-graduation employment support does the school offer?

There are many jobs out there for new drivers, your training school should be able to point you in the right direction to make sure you are making the most money and that your first job out of school aligns with your career goals.

10. What are some of the employers the school works with?

You should confirm the companies that the school works with matching your career goals. If the school works mostly with long haul carriers, but your goal is to be home every day that’s not a great match.

We hope these questions to ask a truck driving school help you get the answers that you need to find the best school for you.

Until next time, Take the Wheel.

Dix questions à poser à une école de conduite de camion, Troisième partie

Es-tu prête à te lancer dans une carrière de conduite de camion? Le temps est arrivé pour toi d’essayer quelque chose de nouveau et tu as besoin de formation? Chaque personne apprend différemment et trouver la meilleure option pour toi est essentiel pour démarrer ta carrière avec succès.

Nous avons compilé pour toi une liste de questions afin de t’aider à prendre la meilleure décision lorsque tu choisis une école de conduite de camion.

Voici les questions 8 à 10 :

8. Comment l’école va-t-elle te préparer pour la conduite l’hiver?

C’est facile si tu prends ta formation en janvier ou février. Toutefois si tu prends ta formation en juillet, la première fois que tu vas conduire dans la neige et sur la glacée ne sera pas facile. Assure-toi que l’école que tu choisis a une méthode pour te préparer.

9. Quel soutien à l’emploi offre l’école pour les diplomés.es?

Il y a beaucoup d’emplois pour les nouveaux.elles conducteurs.trices, ton école devrait être en mesure de te diriger dans la bonne direction pour assurer que tu gagnes le plus d’argent et que ton premier emploi soit aligné avec tes objectifs de carrière.

10. Quels sont certains des employeurs avec lesquels l’école travaille?

Tu devrais confirmer que les compagnies avec laquelle travaille l’école correspondent à tes objectifs de carrière. Si l’école travaille surtout avec des transporteurs de longue distance mais que ton objectif est d’être à la maison à tous les jours, ce n’est pas un bon jumelage.

Nous espérons que cette liste de questions à demander à une école de conduite de camion t’aident à recevoir les réponses que tu as besoin pour trouver la meilleure école pour toi.

À la prochaine, et prends le volant!

Top Ten Questions to Ask a Truck Driving School, Part 2.

Are you ready to shift into your trucking career? Is it your time to try something new and do you need formal training? Everyone learns differently and finding the right fit for you is essential to getting your career off to the best start.

We’ve compiled a list of questions for you to help you make the right decision when choosing your truck driving training school.

Here are questions 4 to 7:

4. How many hours of training is offered?

The minimum licensing standard requires you to take 103.5 hours of training; however, most employers are going to want to see 200 hours (or more) because their insurance usually requires it.

5. Will I be training on a standard or automatic transmission?

Although some trucks on the road are automatic, there are still many that are not. Shifting a truck is different than driving a car. Make sure the school you choose offers training on a standard transmission and lets you road test with a standard transmission.

Be ready for every job, not just some!

6. What tools and resources does the school have if I require additional help while in training?

Not all schools are created equal, find out how the school will help you be successful.

7. What if I don’t pass my road test the first time?

It can happen, but not to worry. Quality truck driving schools will offer free road tests, extra training, etc. Be wary of the schools that make money off you failing.

Es-tu prête à te lancer dans une carrière de conduite de camion? Le temps est arrivé pour toi d’essayer quelque chose de nouveau et tu as besoin de formation? Chaque personne apprend différemment et trouver la meilleure option pour toi est essentiel pour démarrer ta carrière avec succès.

Nous avons compilé pour toi une liste de questions afin de t’aider à prendre la meilleure décision lorsque tu choisis une école de conduite de camion.

Voici les questions 4 à 7 :

4.Combien d’heures de formation sont offertes?

Les standards minimums pour l’obtention du permis sont de 103,5 heures de formation. Toutefois la plupart des employeurs veulent voir 200 heures (ou plus) parce que leurs assurances l’exigent.

5.Est-ce que je vais être formé.e sur une transmission manuelle ou automatique?

Bien que certains camions de transport sur la route soient automatiques, il y en a encore plusieurs qui ne le sont pas. Embrayer un camion est différent d’une auto. Assure-toi que l’école t’offre une formation sur une transmission manuelle et qu’elle permet que tu fasses l’examen routier sur une transmission manuelle. Sois prêt.e pour tous les emplois, pas seulement certains!

6.Quels outils et ressources possède l’école s’il te faut de l’aide supplémentaire pendant la formation?

Toutes les écoles ne sont pas créés égales! Informe-toi comment l’école va t’aider à réussir.

7.Qu’est-ce qui se passe si je ne réussis pas mon examen routier la première fois?

Cela peut arriver, mais ne t’inquiètes pas. Les écoles de formation de qualité offrent des examens de la route gratuits, de la formation supplémentaire, etc. Méfie-toi des écoles qui font de l’argent sur tes échecs.

Are you considering a career in trucking? This is the perfect opportunity to join the industry.

Here are a few interesting excerpts from an article published on Truck News:

"About 18,000 of Canada’s truck driving jobs were vacant in the second quarter of 2021, leaving 72% of surveyed employers to identify driver recruitment as a significant business challenge." (Source: Trucking HR Canada’s latest labor market information update).

"About 40% of employers surveyed by Trucking HR Canada said current business activity was higher than pre-pandemic levels, while 2/3 were unable to hire all the people they needed in the past year."

"The labor force for young truck drivers was down 38% year over year in January 2021... While women account for 3.7% of truck driving jobs, they represented 15.9% of the drop in employed truck drivers during the second quarter."

“Our labor shortages impact critical sectors of the Canadian economy, and as we have seen in other parts of the world, a strong trucking and logistics sector is needed to support supply chain stability.” Trucking HR Canada CEO Angela Splinter said in a related press release."

Voici une autre compétence essentielle pour être chauffeur de camion :

METTRE À JOUR TES COMPÉTENCES

Toutes les compétences mentionnées facilitent grandement ton travail et t’aident à continuer à apprendre et à t’adapter plus facilement à tous les changements dans l’industrie camionnage. Si tu maitrises bien ces compétences, tu as donc de meilleures possibilités d’emplois.

Tu aimerais améliorer tes compétences avant de commencer ta formation dans l’industrie du camionnage ? Tu travailles déjà dans l’industrie, mais tu crois que tu pourrais améliorer certaines de ces compétences ? Tu n’as pas fréquenté l’école depuis longtemps et tu n’as pas utilisé ces compétences depuis la fin de tes études ?

Adresse-toi au Centre d’alphabétisation et de formation de base (AFB) le plus près de chez toi. Voici ce que le Centre AFB peut t’offrir gratuitement :

• Une évaluation pour déterminer si tu devrais améliorer certaines compétences ;
• Des ateliers de formation pour :
• Apprendre à utiliser une tablette, Internet, le courriel, l’environnement Windows, le traitement de texte, les tableurs, etc. pour te permettre de te sentir plus à l’aise d’utiliser la technologie.
• Améliorer tes compétences en littératie (lecture, écriture, conversation) pour être capable de comprendre et d’utiliser des documents et de bien communiquer de façon à encourager le travail d’équipe.
• Développer des compétences clés pour t’aider à trouver un emploi

Here is another essential skill to be a truck driver:

CONTINUING EDUCATION

After you left school, you continued to learn, without perhaps realizing it. Did you take a first aid course, watch YouTube videos on how to do something, listen to podcasts, read articles? If so, you've done what's called continuing education. Continuing education is lifelong learning. Because the trucking industry changes on a regular basis, you must be prepared to adapt and always continue to learn new ways of doing things.

You may be required to take a variety of training courses, such as:
• operating a forklift
• transporting hazardous materials
• using new technological tools
• fuel-saving techniques
• laws and regulations for truck driving

____________________

Voici une autre compétence essentielle pour être chauffeur de camion :

FORMATION CONTINUE

Après avoir quitté l’école, tu as continué à apprendre, sans peut-être t’en rendre compte. Tu as suivi un cours de premiers soins, regardé des vidéos sur YouTube pour savoir comment faire quelque chose, écouté des balados, lu des articles ? Si oui, tu as fait ce qu’on appelle de la formation continue. La formation continue c’est apprendre tout au long de la vie. Parce qu’il y a régulièrement des changements dans l’industrie du camion, tu dois être prêt à t’adapter et à toujours continuer à apprendre de nouvelles façons de faire.

La conduite de camion exigera que tu suives de nombreuses formations, par exemple :
• utilisation d’un chariot élévateur à fourche (forklift)
• transport des matières dangereuses
• utilisation des nouveaux outils technologiques
• techniques d’économie de carburant
• lois et règlements pour la conduite de camions

Today, we dropped off decals to local trucking companies that have agreed to place the decals on their trucks.

Here is another essential skill to be a truck driver:

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

You have surely noticed that technology is everywhere both in our personal and professional lives. The trucking industry is no exception. Tasks are becoming more automated and truck drivers are continually required to adapt. Improving your technical literacy skills is a way of becoming more confident while performing these tasks:

• read dashboard gauges
• read electronic road maps and routes
• enter data into the electronic logbook
• use electronic stability control technology
• complete daily inspection reports detailing vehicle condition
• operate automated loading and unloading systems

Voici une autre compétence essentielle pour être chauffeur de camion :

TECHNOLOGIE NUMÉRIQUE

Tu le sais déjà, la technologie est partout dans nos vies personnelles et professionnelles. L’industrie du camionnage n’est pas épargnée. Les tâches deviennent de plus en plus automatiques et la conduite de camion est appelée à changer. Pour être capable de s’adapter aux changements dans notre façon de faire, il faut avoir des compétences en technologie et en littératie. Si tu as une connaissance de l’informatique de base, ceci t’aidera à te sentir plus à l’aise avec les nouvelles technologies. Voici quelques tâches pour lesquelles tu devras utiliser la technologie en tant que conducteur ou conductrice de camion :

• lire les indicateurs du tableau de bord ;
• lire une carte routière et des itinéraires électroniques ;
• entrer des données dans le journal de bord électronique ;
• utiliser la technologie de contrôle électronique de la stabilité ;
• remplir des rapports d’inspection quotidiens qui précisent l’état du véhicule ;
• utiliser des systèmes de chargement et de déchargement automatisés.
