For years, responsible carriers across Canada have been sounding the alarm about labour abuse, wage theft, employee misclassification, and regulatory failures that continue to undermine our industry.

At Don Anderson Haulage, we remain committed to operating ethically, complying with all labour and tax laws, and advocating for a level playing field where workers are treated fairly and legitimate businesses can compete without being undercut by bad actors.

The widespread use of the "Driver Inc." model by predatory carriers has contributed to the erosion of industry standards, harmed professional drivers, and created unfair competitive advantages for companies willing to ignore the rules. Industry advocates have long argued that these practices contribute to wage theft, worker exploitation, and weakened oversight.

We encourage everyone in the transportation industry—drivers, carriers, customers, policymakers, and the public—to take the time to read the investigative series published by The Globe and Mail in partnership with the Canadian Trucking Alliance. The series shines a light on the challenges facing our industry and the urgent need for stronger enforcement and accountability.

Together, we can help restore professionalism, fairness, and integrity to Canada's trucking industry.

Today marks one year since the sudden passing of a very treasured employee and friend.

While Dave's passing left a huge void both personally and professionally, we also experienced moments of comfort and warmth this past year as we remembered Dave.

As we mark this anniversary we want Dave's family to know that he lives on in spirit and memory here at Don Anderson Haulage and although we mark the day he left, we continue to focus on all the days Dave was here.

Cheers Dave, may you always rest in peace.
