BRITISH COLUMBIA– The BC government is moving ahead with two key actions to benefit the BC container truck drivers and trucking sector.

Starting Monday, July 1, 2019 the container trucking commissioner will have the authority to set rates and fuel surcharges aimed at maintaining stability, fairness and competitiveness in the sector.

In order to do this,the government will repeal the current rates and remuneration provisions from the Container Trucking Regulation.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure the repeal supports the commissioner’s new implementation of a new $25 rate supplement.

As of July 1, 2019 truck drivers will receive a $25 rate supplement to compensate drivers for trips without containers, which are currently unpaid.
