Across the province and country, sub-zero temperatures make winter a potentially treacherous time for those who earn their living on the road. While winter trucking in Canada is never a walk in the park, knowing how to conquer the cold can keep your fleet going without interruption all season long.
Here’s how to prepare your diesel engines to keep the rigs road-ready and able to handle all the elements!
The governments of Ontario and Canada as a whole have taken quite a few measures in support of the trucking industry. Some of these supports include classifying trucking as an “essential service” so they can keep driving, reducing weight and municipal by-law restrictions, and allowing goods to continue moving over the border with the United States.

There are many trends we have to watch very closely if we want to make accurate predictions for the future!
