Advocacy
Every voice matters. CTOA represents drivers, owner-operators, incorporated contractors, fleets of all sizes, brokers, shippers, and industry partners at federal and provincial levels, ensuring that transportation policy reflects real-world operations, safety, and fairness.
Data & Research
Evidence matters. CTOA develops and uses industry data, research, and analysis to support advocacy, inform policy discussions, and ensure transportation decisions are grounded in facts, real-world operations, and measurable impact.
Inclusive Representation
Representation matters. CTOA reflects the full diversity of Canada’s transportation industry, drivers, owner-operators, incorporated contractors, fleets of all sizes, brokers, shippers, and industry partners, ensuring that multiple perspectives inform our advocacy, policy positions, and decision-making.
Why CTOA Matters
CTOA brings together Canada’s trucking and transportation professionals under one strong, national voice. We advocate for fair policy, modern work options, improved safety, and a resilient supply chain that reflects real-world industry conditions.
From single-truck owner-operators to fleets operating hundreds of units, our members play a critical role in keeping Canada moving. CTOA ensures their perspectives are represented where decisions are made, with governments, regulators, and industry leaders.
CTOA matters because Canada’s supply chain depends on the people behind the wheel and the businesses that support them. Those professionals deserve representation, respect, and a meaningful role in shaping the future of the transportation industry.

FIRST
Safety & Training
CTOA supports strong safety standards, improved training, and fair, consistent enforcement, with a focus on addressing repeat and high-risk offenders while protecting responsible operators.
SECOND
Fair & Transparent Compliance
CTOA supports proper tax and regulatory compliance, supported by clear, consistent guidance from CRA, ESDC, and Transport Canada. We advocate for fair, uniform enforcement across industries, not targeted or inconsistent application of the rules.
THIRD
Industry Collaboration
CTOA works collaboratively with safety experts, training institutions, insurers, technology providers, and industry leaders to advance modern, practical solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability across the transportation sector.
FOURTH
Protecting Entrepreneurship
CTOA recognizes that many drivers choose incorporation for flexibility, work–life balance, and business growth. We advocate for policies that respect legitimate independent business models and ensure these perspectives are fairly represented in public and regulatory discussions.
A United Voice for Canada’s Trucking Industry
CTOA’s mission is to ensure that all voices within Canada’s trucking and transportation industry are represented – from drivers and owner-operators to small, medium, and large operations, as well as suppliers and industry partners.
We believe effective policy, regulatory, and legislative decisions must be shaped by inclusive, informed, and representative input. CTOA works to ensure that those speaking on behalf of the industry accurately reflect its diversity, complexity, and evolving workforce.
