Episode 57: The Road Beneath - Part 2: Driver Inc., the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and Success Stories from the Frontlines

In this episode, host Kelsey Hipkin brings us back for the second episode of our three-part series, The Road Beneath: Ethics, Exploitation & Accountability in Trucking, in which we’re pulling back the curtain on the trucking and logistics industry, starting where real prevention begins: with the decisions made at the top.

For Part 2: Driver Inc., The Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and Success Stories from the Frontlines, we have three segments: the first with Robert Harper, President of the AMTA, followed by Robert Kupinic, a professional Class 1 operator with Canada Cartage, and we close with Gerald Nakano, Senior Vice President, Operations, Canada Cartage.

In our conversation, joined by AMTA’s Doug Walton, we discuss how industry and AMTA are addressing the Driver Inc. model, we’ll speak with a driver who uses the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program to build a successful career, and hear from the company using the TFW program to address labour shortages across their network.
