Why You Should Attend

From BCTA surveys, we found that approximately two-thirds of our members are federally regulated. You are federally regulated if you are an extra-provincial truck and/or bus carrier that carries goods or passengers across a provincial or international boundary.

Join us for one session or all three! Don’t miss out on your chance to understand federal operating status requirements and how to comply with federal labour regulations. This event is free and is for BCTA members only—for more information and to sign up click here.
