Protection for Ontario's truckers Truckers are now protected from questionable load broker- age business practices since amendments to the province's Truck Transportation Act took effect Oct. 1. "The amendments in Bill 129 will add a degree of finan- cial stability to the trucking industry," said Ontario Trans- portation Minister Gilles Pouliot. "The changes have been initiated at the request of the trucking industry and will provide some long overdue security for truckers." Load brokers act as agents between truckers and a compa- ny needing goods transported. Brokers find a trucker to haul a shipment, collect payment from the shipper, and then pay the trucker. The amendments to the act require a load broker to register with the ministry, post a $10,000 bond, and establish a trust fund to hold monies owed to truckers. "We recognize that not all truckers use load brokers, and that the legislation does not described as follows: Office, Schreiber, passing thereof. 608 September, 1992. A.J.

"How- ever, for truckers who do use load brokers, the amendments provide some peace of mind. And truckers who deal with registered brokers will reduce some of the risks in their busi- ness operations." The amendments are intend- ed to protect smaller truckers who suffer financially when load brokers default on paying them. The changes will help to prevent incidents like a recent case where a broker declared bankruptcy and truckers lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in payment for their services. Currently, the load brokers sector of the trucking industry is unregulated. As a result, it is difficult to determine the exact number of load brokers in Ontario. However, it is estimat- ed there are 30 medium to large companies and 200 small businesses in operation. Regulating load brokers will enable the ministry to monitor this segment of the trucking industry. The $10,000 bond will provide assurance that truckers receive some financial compensation should a load broker. default or claim bankruptcy. Truckers will be able to call the Ministry of Transportation Carrier Licens- ing Office to check whether a load broker is registered. "We recognize that the load broker provides a vital service within the trucking industry. These amendments are good news for brokers because they establish professional bound- aries in which to operate," says Pouliot.
