About Us
WHO ARE WE?
Established in 1977, the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) is the only Canadian association dedicated to the interests of private fleet operators. The PMTC provides forums for fleet operators and industry stakeholders to exchange views and resolve issues together, and is at the forefront in representing your views to government, protecting your rights, and promoting your interests.
The PMTC is recognized as the voice of private trucking in Canada. We regularly field calls from trade press seeking PMTC opinions on subjects of interest to the trucking industry. PMTC President Mike Millian also has a monthly column in a leading industry magazine to promote the views of private carriers.
The PMTC provides tangible value in return for our modest membership fees. Members include fleet operators, equipment lessors, driver lessors and all types of suppliers to the private fleet community.
Many describe the PMTC as the best membership value in the Canadian transportation community.

Will Ontario’s Auditor General’s report on Entry Level Training be a wakeup call for governments?
On May 12th Ontario's Auditor general released a scathing report on the state of class A entry level training and oversight in the province of Ontario. Some of the key findings The auditors sent out “secret shoppers” who attended 6 different training schools between June and December of 2025. 2 of the 6 schools only required students to complete 59.5 & 81 hours of training, while still passing them through the course, well short of the minimum 103.5 hours required. The schools had the students sign off that they completed all required training & then entered them as passed in the MTO's IT system, allowing them to book a road test.

Canada’s border clearing systems are a stain to the country’s image
PRESS RELEASE Milton, On May 8, 2026 Canada's border clearing systems are a stain to the country's image In the last year, the majority of talk coming from the federal government, with industry support, has revolved around removing internal trade barriers to make Canada more resilient and less reliant on external pressures from outside our borders. The PMTC agrees with this initiative and has raised this issue many times over the years, so the government has our support on this initiative. At the same time, we must place a focus on other areas of our economy as well. I think we all acknowledge we are a trading nation, with our biggest trading partner directly south of our border. Canada & USA trade accounts for over 900 billion per year, with over 580 billion of that coming through land crossings. It is imperative to our economy, and our trading relationship, that Canada has a stable and reliable system in place to clear the goods that cross our border daily. The slogan of the province I reside in, Ontario, is “Open for business”. While that might be the case, as a result of the mess we are currently in at the border, we may have to add a warning to that tag line” Open for business, but good luck getting your product here!!”
