The Driver Inc scam in Canada's trucking industry is now a crisis hurting drivers, legitimate businesses, and costing the government billions in lost tax revenue. Teamsters Canada, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), and the Association du camionnage du Québec (ACQ) have joined forces to call for urgent federal action to put the brakes on the growing Driver Inc crisis in the country's trucking sector. 
Successive governments have failed to address the issue, allowing the problem to fester over decades and become a crisis. The Driver Inc crisis is a tax scam and employee misclassification scam. It sees truck drivers incorporate, often at the request of dishonest employers, under the guise of paying lower taxes and avoiding other payroll deductions, but in reality, these drivers are indistinguishable from regular employees, lacking truck ownership, route choice, or any real degree of independence or financial risk.
