Carrier Compliance and Licensing Issues

Non-compliance with provincial and federal regulations can expose trucking companies to serious consequences, including fines, licence suspension, or litigation. Our legal services include advising clients on obtaining and maintaining proper licensing, meeting regulatory compliance obligations, and responding to enforcement actions to mitigate potential legal risks .

Our lawyers ensure your company is up-to-date with the latest safety regulations, operational rules, and regulatory matters affecting the transportation industry in Canada.

Trucking Safety Audits and Logbook Violations

Regulatory bodies conduct routine audits to assess adherence to safety standards and verify driver logbooks. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can lead to serious penalties or even business suspension.

Our lawyers assist truck drivers and transportation companies who are involved in safety reviews or facing allegations of logbook manipulation or hours of service violations. We work to resolve these legal issues efficiently and protect your operational capabilities. We also advise on how emerging technologies, such as electronic logging devices (ELDs) and telematics systems, can support compliance efforts and reduce regulatory risks.

Cross-Border Operations

Many trucking companies operating in Toronto engage in cross-border commerce with the United States. This involves navigating an even more complex web of laws, including U.S. federal trucking rules, customs laws, and international treaties.

We assist with:

• Border compliance and customers-related concerns.
• U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
• Vehicle inspection standards.
• Commercial trucks involved in international transit.
• Legal requirements under maritime when freight is shipped through ports.
