Ontario to inspect all career colleges offering truck driving within 6 weeks, following scathing audit

The Private Career Colleges Inspectors, while talented and dedicated are too few and do not have the expertise in the trucking world to be effective at auditing the schools to begin with.

They focus on the PCC Act (Private Career Colleges Act, 2005) and the regulations which govern a schools operation (think paper work and student contracts and the like).

They are not subject matter experts in trucking and therefore much of the MTO's Class A Truck Training Standard (MELT) Mandatory Entry-Level Training is lost of them.

There are too few of them and with over 500 PCC's in the Province and only 8 full time inspectors it is impossible for them to police this industry.

Ministry of Transportation (MTO)

Large Commercial Truck Driver Licensing Audit

This is the result of no MTO oversight! They launch the Class A Truck Training Standard in 2017 and then they do not enforce the standard!

It's the governments own organized crime ring! And it is. Companies and people are allowed to open schools (which are not schools anyway) and with out any oversight are allowed to steal peoples money.

You think the Mafia or the Motorcycle gangs or the drug cartels know how to run a crime ring? They have nothing on the Ontario Government!
