Recognizing the Backbone of our Economy: September 3rd-9th

As the much-anticipated National Trucking Week approaches, the BC Trucking Association (BCTA) is gearing up to honour and celebrate the invaluable contributions of truck drivers to our society.

Each year BCTA offers scholarships to children of member company owners and employees– the BCTA Motor Carrier Member Scholarships, the BCTA Associate Member Scholarships, and the Kerry Winkler Memorial Scholarships.

A reminder that on August 18^th, 2023, Transport Canada implemented Hours-of-Service (HOS) exemptions as a result of wildfires.

The Kicking Horse Canyon Constructors (KHCC) will be implementing intermittent lane closures, overnight full closures and extended (multi-day) road closures on the Trans-Canada Highway for the Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4 construction through September.

Highway 4 will be fully reopening to two-lane travel at Cameron Lake Bluffs before the Labour Day long weekend. Before this can happen, the highway will be closed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2023.

Work is underway to restore access on Highway 1 through the southern Interior. Highway 1 between Chase and Sorrento at the Blind Bay Road intersection reopened on Friday, Aug 25.

Expect delays and prepare for a detour for those travelling along Highway 19 between Port McNeill and Woss.

Starting the week of August 28, construction of the new bridge deck in Surrey will begin.

Long Service Membership Awards recognize motor carrier and associate members who have supported BCTA for decades.

To celebrate National Trucking Week, Mark’s Work Wearhouse is once again offering truck drivers of Canadian Trucking Alliance members and valued industry employees 10% in-store discounts on apparel and footwear at retail locations across Canada.
