Alberta’s government is making an update on what has been done since Fall 2025 to strengthen trucking safety.

Alberta's government is raising the bar for commercial driver safety by strengthening training, cracking down on bad actors, and holding unsafe carriers accountable.

To date, five fraudulent trucking schools (Class 1) have been shut down following audits and or investigation Alberta’s government is also working with federal partners to strengthen enforcement across jurisdictions. Since October 2025, Alberta's government has issued 443 administrative penalties, removed 20 unsafe carriers from our roads—including 13 chameleon carriers—and suspended six companies for misrepresenting where they operate.
