Chohan again. They also had a truck lodged in a house in Kelowna this year. How the driver did that is beyond me. I've been driving truck for 41 years. Starting in the last few years I've never seen such an absolute disregard for professionalism in the trucking industry.
the owner of chohan was very quick to distance himself from the owner operator. Said it was reported by the driver to the company that the load was oversized and the driver was instructed to wait for routing instructions and permits. 8 minutes later they heard about it hitting a bridge. Sounds like a Mickey Mouse outfit. They probably told him to go it’ll be fine the last guy made it. Not surprised they employ owner operators likely to distance themselves from liability.

OMG. This same trucking company has caused millions of dollars in damage and incurred fines of several thousand dollars it seems. Just make whoever caused the damage liable for the repair costs.
Well, as a taxpayer, you're paying 50% of the wages of all these immigrant truck drivers to come over here and climb behind the wheel of the truck. Did you not know that?
East Indian trucking companies are corrupt by nature. They do not take responsibilities for there incompetence.... huge fines should be levied even possible jail time to all that are responsible.
SHUT THE COMPANY DOWN PERMANENTLY! DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO REOPEN UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME! AND SEND THEM THE BILL FOR THE REPAIRS!!!! TAX PAYERS SHOULDN’T BE ON THE HOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSES IGNORANCE!

6 bridge strikes in 50 years is negligence, but 6 strikes in just a few years is criminal. They should not be allowed on public roads again cause i guarantee there is more they dont care about an put everyones lives around them on the road at risk.....no fine is gonna change anything, they should have to pay for the repairs to the bridge simple as that not the tax payer or insurance company but the company themselves, its the only way things will change.....

I mean as racist as some people might take your comment you're 100% right.There should be an English comprehension and reading test,and if they don't pass then tough luck,no license
@@roblund6919 We gave up on that sadly. When I was in college studying plants, they literally had secret classrooms teaching them how to ID plants in their own language, the students weren't supposed to know about it, but I stumbled upon it by accident. Also gave all the international students college jobs first for 'equity' reasons. And yes, I am quite bitter about not getting any job experience at college as a result of these policies.
If these companies have more than one infraction, just shut them down. The problem is the driver doesn’t understand the laws and their license should be checked and they should have to redo their class 1 exam. This should NEVER happen!!!
The so called "driving schools" are run by people too incompetent to drive professionally themselves....all they do is collect money and hand out forms.
They should have to start from scratch again not only re-test but redo MELT. Which costs 15k-20k now. Also not allow these Company's to be renamed and open up under than another after being shutdown.
Its the same here in Ontario. Most of the semi accidents causing fatalities are out of Brampton, er India. Then they cry they want to stay in Canada after killing almost an entire hockey team. Then if you boot them out of that, they go to towing where theres turf wars, burning each others trucks and homes.
100k fine should be mandatory and the removal of the Drivers Class 1 License as it's his responsibility to measure that loads height and width going after the company is wrong as it's on the driver!
Not only 100K as a fine but the trucking company's insurance should cover the whole cost of fixing the damage to infrastructure. No cost should be incurred by the taxpayers for the incompetence of a truck company and their drivers.
That company has nailed numerous bridges. Yes the driver was an owner operator, but the company is clearly in the business of hauling oversized loads and should have procedures that would prevent this.
It is the fault of 1. Politicians who are not implanting tougher laws to punish these reckless drivers. 2. It is the driver's fault. 3. It is the company's fault that in 2 years they had 6 accidents. 4. It is the immigration's minister's fault who allows whoever comes to Canada and as a result of population growth create the shortage of skilled workers which causes these types of disaster. We are just surrounded in the circle of incompetence people, from our politicians down to this reckless driver.
I do find it funny that on the company’s web page the first thing you see is a truck passing under an overpass! Must have been one of the few times they’ve made it under one without hitting it!!
Typical Company double speak, blaming the driver who is actually a representative of the company regardless if a company driver or contractor. People stuck in traffic missing business appointments or spoiled foods should file a claim with icbc for damages. I know I am going to should I ever get stuck in this schit through no fault of my own !
It is every class 1 drivers job to secure the load and measure it. This is taught when your training to get your class 1 even before MELT was a thing. Then if it's over sized you bring that concern to the company and then you need to plan the route before you even get on the highway. They have a Truckers map that spans all across Canada and the USA that lists the heights of all the overpasses.
See what happens when you have east Indian drivers!!!!!! They dont care aka Humboldt..Also I worked for a trucking repair shop and some of them cut holes in the drivers side so they can do their business so they didn't have to stop to go to the washroom!!!! Ask any heavy machanic!!!
Hitting bridges , speeding , swerving , and tailgating like crazy is the new norm for "professional" drivers . . . Speed governors and GPS on all commercial vehicles , also immediate and mandatory investigations of complaints filed by public . The whole industry needs cleaning up .
IF the trucking company actually did tell the driver to wait for instructions, that's damage over 5,000. That should be citeable and even a Criminal Code issue for the driver. That's IF the truck company is to be able to PROVE the driver disregarded their instructions.
He’s an owner operator, not an employee. The O/O will have his own liability coverage, I’m sure there will be some finger pointing, but ultimately it’s the driver at fault. The overpasses have height signs, he should know the dimensions of his load. This is just the result of how broken our commercial trucking industry is. Owner/operators used to be a way for experienced, competent drivers to make more money because of the value they provided. Now it’s just the way trucking companies distance themselves from liability and industry regulations.
@@Dmbyers2002 I agree the driver accepted the load it's up to The driver to secure, tie it down, and measure the height and width. If it's over your Cab height this is a must do.
🇨🇦. Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh my Point Being, is You Don’t have enough time in this City too have an amazing time with our Naturally Beautiful life style, Relax & I joy the View. Bot
I drive truck and I can say one thing for sure.... the electronic logbook forces truckers to push limits. Period. If the truck driver got paid for time instead of distance.... the roads would be much safer out there. Period.
@@superb.27100% right. If the industry paid hourly instead of by the mile, there would be less rushing. Haste makes waste. ELD mandate in the US several years before the mandate here this year caused an increase in collisions. So much for making the road a safer place. It was about control not safety, the mega carriers lobbied the government for it so they had less competition from smaller companies running paper logs they could fudge a bit to find parking. At least in the US they can use “personal use” to drive to the next available parking area loaded if the one they intended to sleep at is full. Canada personal use is I think 25km uncoupled and unloaded
Harsh penalties are a reaction...be proactive and quit licensing incompetent operators. There are thousands of incompetent and dangerous drivers on the roads and highways. Trudeau's immigration policy is, in part, to blame.
Why not raise the fines to $2000 just for being over height and caught driving before damage is done and the full cost of repairs if you hit something?
It is possible not to hit a bridge in a truck you have to pay attention to the job. Over size loads are specific routes for a reason. When you can't read the road signs it's problem for everyone on the road. After 46 years trucking never hit a bridge. Backed up a few times but that's the job that's why you pay attention to what's around you.
@spawn11 If you can't get a brush for the snow, or wear a raincoat to survive the rain, or even get some help from another person to hold a measuring tape. You don't belong near a truck. I'm also interested to know, what kind of over-height load are you storing indoors? Must be a large garage.
Great series on youtube called 11 ft 8 bridge. Compilation of dozens of trucks destroyed by a low bridge in N Carolina in spite of radar controlled overheight flashing warning signs that get ignored. Regarding measuring tape, a tall thin stick on the front bumper to test for clearance might work, but several of the videos show the driving slowing down to a crawl to test clearance with his roof, SLOOWWLY pealing it off.
We need more Commercial inspection sites on all Highways having only 2 is poor safety and drivers will go around them and the only way they get caught is either by a roadside stop or an accident happens.
Alright, you want more scales... I want more 4 wheelers to get pulled into their very own inspection stations, too, and getting tickets fine and suspension for brake checking semis unsafe vehicles and all that comes with the responsibility of having the privilege to have a license. Oh, right, I don't live in a fantasy world.
And who’s going to pay for all that? You and me. That’s who. This driver caused thousands of dollars in damage but only got fined $500. Our tax dollars will pay the rest of the cost to repair that overpass. It’s such bs.
@@Jeremie000 That's what the scales are there for. In the USA they have a building beside the scale with pit you drive in the the inspector goes through everything. Here in Canada they have to crawl under your truck. However more scale houses means more inspections. Just from Bellingham to Tacoma WA on just the I5 alone they have 3 to 4 of them as an example.
I've been commuting to work in Metro Vancouver for decades and the driving behaviour of truckers has gradually gotten worse. In the last few years it has really gotten dangerous out there and most of the truckers drive their trucks like taxi cabs. And we all know what that means. Many years ago taxi drivers were actually professionals and took pride in their jobs. Trucking has gone the same path as the taxi business. You see a pattern here? Ofcourse the government won't dare acknowledge this truth!
Job sucks. Hours suck. Pay sucks. Equipment sucks. RV bums taking over rest stops. What did you think would happen? Desperadoes and washouts only need apply.
we all know why this happens... some licences should not be transferable to canadian. although lets be honest most of these drivers don't have real licenses they are using their cousins or forged documents they brought from home. if they get caught they go back and return to canada with a different name.
Yes and i am annoyed daily with the lack of courtesy we receive from these large trucks, cranes and cement trucks constantly driving over all speed limits and all lanes. 20 yrs ago it was courtesy for trucks to stay in the far right lane now these supposed " professional drivers" occupy all and any lane. I agree with the 3rd world mentality of many drivers on the roads now. They really feel entitled and enjoying us "dumb ignorant" courteous Canadians..( again foreign thinking for us originals ) Its too bad its the most common culture to look for every advantage to screw any and everyone. I know many 1st class ppl of all cultures. Lets not even talk about the ones who also travel in the passing / fast lane oblivious to the hi beams and ppl speeding past them honking at them on both sides....nor will we speak of the dozens of ones in the carpool lane illegally and defiant to challenges by law abiding citizens. I havent seen any checks of carpool lane in years on hwy 1. The entiled narcissists are daily in full display on hwy 1 and 99, 91 c and likely all roads.
Ever driven on Germany freeways? They have a dedicated truck lane on the extreme right of every freeway - and heaven help any trucker that ventures out of that lane. You can move left one lane IN ORDER TO PASS A TRUCK IN FRONT OF YOU but you have to move right back into the right hand lane once you're passed. It works very well there. So, so, why haven't we adopted this feature? Oh. I forgot. Our road allowances are sub-substandard in width, so extra lanes are OUT. Canada has such a great shortage of land they need to keep road allowances really pinched. And then there's the funding issue. 94% of all the road taxes collected in Canada DO NOT GO TO FUND THE ROADS. Don't ask! Okay. You asked. $8.5 BILLION a year toward 'official bilingualism'. A very expensive pogrom that produces zero results. At the expense of modern road infrastructure.
@@barneyquinn3657 Until a certain group took over trucking it was that way in Canada. We didn't need designated lanes. If you point out this groups disregard for our laws and respect for others you are called racist. They have learned well how to play their game.
Trucks are speed limited to 105 kph. A texter trolls along at 80 to 90, finishes texting or tik tokking and speeds up to 110. Imagine trying to overtake the busy influencer.
Chohan Freight Forwarders (East Indian owned company) has managed to smash into 6 overpasses in 2 years time!! Like, where are the real tickets and criminal charges?!?
And it's gonna keep happening last week. I couldn't spell truck driver this week. I am one carry a stick with you thirteen six.. Measure your load, keep on truck roots. Ive been a driver for thirty years i've never seen anything like this..p.s.same people that destroyed trucking.
$500 fine… how about making them pay for the repairs!?! There’s no excuse. There are digital maps with all the overpass heights on them, trip planning software for overheight vehicles, and the overpasses are all physically marked.
If the owner / operator left without permission and clearances for their load, a call for theft should have immediately been made to the police. This is obviously *NOT* a management company, as they couldnt manage their way out of a wet plain paper bag.
Just another example of total disregard for Canada or her values. They’ll open under another different name in a week, guaranteed. The entire industry has gone to Hell & for what, VOTES!? Have a look at the trucking classifieds…experience from india is acceptable (without proof) and they have NO IDEA wtf they’re doing…most can’t navigate a parking lot let alone Canadian highways. Period.
So, it turns out bureaucracy in licensing doesn’t produce better drivers…It just ends up being more expensive, arguably to expensive for the average joe to get a CDL, so we have a smaller labour pool to hire from, which kills the meritocracy of employment in the industry. But, lots of trucking companies who are short on drivers will pay 20k to get their cousin guy his class 1, give him the bare legal minimum in training, supervision and mentorship and we the tax payers reap the rewards. Good Job Government!
These accidents are often the result of minimal monetary compensation for professional drivers. Most of the professional drivers are no longer working in the trucking industry as it is a financial lost cause! That's why the industry is now being serviced by small contractors who take risks to save money trying to keep their little company afloat, We import inexperience risk taking people from all over the world, give them a driver permit, a set of keys and send them on their way to either drive a tractor trailer or teach other new Canadians how to drive a truck. Later we find out they fell asleep behind the wheel and hit a bus full of young hockey players. Of course we lock them up in jail for years. Grrr.... just too much BS!
I am Indian myself came to Canada in 2009. Went there to work as Dump truck driver for an Punjabi employer. Without any training, any contract, no paperwork telling me to start driving next day. I said no thanks... Second job, another Punjabi employer wants me to do 4 weeks of *Unpaid training* i said good bye again... Then I promised myself would never work for Punjabi employers they all shady.
This is a classic example of a flooding of unqualified drivers hitting our roads. A lot of companies catering to New Canadians do not give them proper training through the M.E.L.T program. I’m glad I work in the oil field on ice roads. I would never do transport!
In 1999, there was a coroner's inquest after 2 high profile multiple fatality runaways...Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal and Kamloops.The coroner's findings resulted in a huge hiring spree of safety officers to staff the weigh scales/inspection stations 24/7. That made a huge difference in a positive way to a safer transportation sector in BC. Now, 20+ years later, staffing levels at the inspection stations are down, hours of operation are down, drivers wages are down, driver safety and professionalism are down. Meanwhile, the BC government fired experienced CVSE safety officers for non compliance with the provinces coof mandate...becuase safety or something. There are thousands of qualified professionals in BC that were fired and never rehired in the last few years. Doctors, nurses, safety officers, patrol officers, social workers, prison guards, scientists, etc. Guaranteed, their coof mandates have done more damage than good, this is just another example. The lifestyle and services in BC are getting worse by the day. The government here is either incompetent or evil.
This is what happens when truckers are pushed to the HoS limit just to pay the bills. Guys don’t get paid to wait. Inexperience + terrible industry practices = groundhog day.
Everyone knows why this is happening. All truckers talk about this, the police know. But media won’t say it. Certain people don’t follow laws, because it’s not important to them.
Yeah, trucking companies. Instead of having drivers as employees with living wages, they have them as "independent contractors" who cut corners because it is the only way they can afford to put food on the table. Do a search for "trucks john oliver", he did a good piece on how the industry is pushing drivers to the brink.
Company owners should not be allowed to open the another company at all and bar them completely from being called the transport comapny anymore fine them the full repair bill
$500 fine for damages likely to cost in the several hundred thousands-range? Why not impose meaningful fines for even being caught, enough to discourage entirely the slightest possibility of such issues occurring?
so these guys pass professional licence requirements ? facts are that there is a huge influx of foreign drivers/trucking operators that may not be familiar enough with conditions/clearance of overpasses on the routes being travelled on. or is it also a problem of too much red tape /delays in transport permits causing frustrated truckers to get the job done without the permit (illegal)which have route information/restrictions if loads are over height/overweight et.al.
And yet again an Indian originated trucking comapny with most likely drivers with Indian backgrounds, especially North Indian near Pakistan. When will the Canadian government learn that not everyone moving there has the same sense of responsibility as the locals. People come from diverse backgrounds and often with very loose interpretations of reponsible behaviors. All foreign drivers must have more stringent rules the first 10 years of their life in any new contry.
Wait you're telling me there were no P/EVOs (pilot/escort/operates) assigned to that load? No lead driver, running a height pole with a copy of the permit and a route sheet? Well "yez gets what yez paid for."
Looks like a panel for a tilt-up. The Erectors and Fabricators are going to be PISSED. That is going to really mess with schedules on their project having to re-order the extra W-beams and angles and then re-fabricate it. Oof.
You get where you pay for. You're talking about an industry where the average driver has not seen an increase in pay in decades. Every 3 or 4 years you might see a 2% raise. That's completely meaningless. A job that used to pay 3 times or 4 times minimum wage, is now paying a couple of dollars an hour above minimum wage. All the good drivers have left the industry. And The wages are no longer attractive enough to bring competent people into the industry. That's why the governments of all the provinces are going to third world countries and bringing people here to get behind the wheel of the trucks. Nobody over here is interested in doing the job because it doesn't pay enough. I've been driving truck for over 30 years. I've got a couple more years left and I'm retiring. I'm making the same amount of money now that I did back in the early 90s. Which means I'm making less than I did in the early 90s........ And until you address the actual underlying problem, these symptoms are going to continue. The problem is the job doesn't pay enough to attract competent people so the companies are forced to hire people that they would otherwise never consider for the position and the carnage that you see out on the highways is a symptom of that reality. So remember the next time you look in your rear view Mirror and all You can see is the grill of a great Big semi 6 inches off your back bumper going a 100 km an hour....... That guy just came from a third world country and he has no experience whatsoever. Enjoy your trip.
You must be trucking in the arctic circle. I guess you haven't noticed these people feed on their own kind at every opportunity. They used to fill their blueberry fields with their seniors forced to work for less than minimum wage until they were replaced by picking machines. In fact, they bring drivers from India and pay off the driving examiners to license them just for that purpose. How can you not know that?
@@grahamstuart9164 That you are delusional. Professional wages that drew professional drivers went away with the Teamsters Union just like 90% of our former middle class jobs and industries. Canadians did this to themselves. Now a fair wage trucking company couldn't compete just like most industries and businesses.
@@grahamstuart9164 Believing that a wage increase will bring better driving. Trucking followed the taxi industry and manufacturing and just about everything else. It took 5 years to get to a tractor trailer. Now it takes 5 days in the Sikh owned driver training and Sikh approved license testing to get the fresh off the boat non-English speaking minimum wage (or less) drivers behind the wheel.
Rob Fleming should introduce legislation making it illegal to own or operate trucks capable of carying tall loads, say 5 meters or higher. To be really effective, this new legislation should also list and and ban all low overpasses.
Yes they are wreckless I have worked in this industry and seen first hand these guys skipping pre-trips, ignoring obvious problems and saying ah dont worry she has been running like that for years. Most of them that is.
Trucking companies should be required to put up either 1) a cash bond (say $2 million) or 2) equivalent property assets as a collateral for operating their company. Cash retainers would be paid interest (prime or similar). If their vehicles (or contractors for them) cause infrastructure (or personnel) damage, at least some of the cost is already guaranteed. Longer safety records (8+ years) could earn a reduction in up front monies - although well established companies probably have sufficient assets that they wouldn't be using cash in the first place.
Part of the problem is these old bridges crossing major roadways that don't have good clearance, the other part is truckers not knowing their load heights or paying attention to signage.
Chohan again! This is at least the 6th time their drivers have smashed into overpasses. Their business license needs to be suspended for good.
They’ll just change the name of the company and they’re back in business the next day.
They share licenses with family members. This is part of the strength.

@@Drought-jr6pb I agree $575.00 is a joke that don't even pay for 1hr of labor on the repair of the bridge lol.
They should be paying for bridge repairs, and they need to start training these drivers better.
The driver and trucking company should be responsible for paying the repairs and can't be discharged by claiming bankruptcy.
That company has nailed numerous bridges. Yes the driver was an owner operator, but the company is clearly in the business of hauling oversized loads and should have procedures that would prevent this.
It is the fault of
1. Politicians who are not implanting tougher laws to punish these reckless drivers.
2. It is the driver's fault.
3. It is the company's fault that in 2 years they had 6 accidents.
4. It is the immigration's minister's fault who allows whoever comes to Canada and as a result of population growth create the shortage of skilled workers which causes these types of disaster.
We are just surrounded in the circle of incompetence people, from our politicians down to this reckless driver.
Chohan group again.

Yea it's not pretty
Diversity with a driver license
That is frustrating. It took a very long time to repair the 192 st overpass when it was struck in the same manner.
I live right by there as well and the construction caused huge traffic delays for the past 2 years : (
I do find it funny that on the company’s web page the first thing you see is a truck passing under an overpass! Must have been one of the few times they’ve made it under one without hitting it!!
Typical Company double speak, blaming the driver who is actually a representative of the company regardless if a company driver or contractor.
People stuck in traffic missing business appointments or spoiled foods should file a claim with icbc for damages.
I know I am going to should I ever get stuck in this schit through no fault of my own !
It is every class 1 drivers job to secure the load and measure it. This is taught when your training to get your class 1 even before MELT was a thing. Then if it's over sized you bring that concern to the company and then you need to plan the route before you even get on the highway. They have a Truckers map that spans all across Canada and the USA that lists the heights of all the overpasses.
If they would stop handing out licenses to unqualified people for a cash price these things wouldnt happen nearly as much
Driving schools in BC test there own students.😂😅💥
@@ricgunn1439cool beans. Im sure their instructors turn a blind eye when a wad of cash is flashed in front of them.
See what happens when you have east Indian drivers!!!!!! They dont care aka Humboldt..Also I worked for a trucking repair shop and some of them cut holes in the drivers side so they can do their business so they didn't have to stop to go to the washroom!!!! Ask any heavy machanic!!!
Hitting bridges , speeding , swerving , and tailgating like crazy is the new norm for "professional" drivers . . . Speed governors and GPS on all commercial vehicles , also immediate and mandatory investigations of complaints filed by public . The whole industry needs cleaning up .
IF the trucking company actually did tell the driver to wait for instructions, that's damage over 5,000. That should be citeable and even a Criminal Code issue for the driver. That's IF the truck company is to be able to PROVE the driver disregarded their instructions.
He’s an owner operator, not an employee. The O/O will have his own liability coverage, I’m sure there will be some finger pointing, but ultimately it’s the driver at fault. The overpasses have height signs, he should know the dimensions of his load. This is just the result of how broken our commercial trucking industry is. Owner/operators used to be a way for experienced, competent drivers to make more money because of the value they provided. Now it’s just the way trucking companies distance themselves from liability and industry regulations.
@@Dmbyers2002 I agree the driver accepted the load it's up to The driver to secure, tie it down, and measure the height and width. If it's over your Cab height this is a must do.
@@Dmbyers2002none of theses companies drivers are employees. Co. Doesn't pay insurance,EI, CPP, or any benefits what so ever and probably no taxes.😂
and if the trucking company ever told anything to their drivers, this wouldn't be the 6th incident.
I work with hundreds if not thousands of truckers every year. I can confirm most are always in a rush and push the limits of safety.
Goof

I drive truck and I can say one thing for sure.... the electronic logbook forces truckers to push limits. Period.
If the truck driver got paid for time instead of distance.... the roads would be much safer out there. Period.
@@superb.27100% right. If the industry paid hourly instead of by the mile, there would be less rushing. Haste makes waste. ELD mandate in the US several years before the mandate here this year caused an increase in collisions. So much for making the road a safer place. It was about control not safety, the mega carriers lobbied the government for it so they had less competition from smaller companies running paper logs they could fudge a bit to find parking. At least in the US they can use “personal use” to drive to the next available parking area loaded if the one they intended to sleep at is full. Canada personal use is I think 25km uncoupled and unloaded
Maybe learning English should be a necessity to get a class 1 license?
The overpass hight clearance sign indicated only a number. This appears to be learning difficulty in numeracy.
Drivers using their cousins license until their refugee papers arrive......
Harsh penalties are a reaction...be proactive and quit licensing incompetent operators. There are thousands of incompetent and dangerous drivers on the roads and highways. Trudeau's immigration policy is, in part, to blame.
100 % true
$575.00 fine lol
Why not raise the fines to $2000 just for being over height and caught driving before damage is done and the full cost of repairs if you hit something?
It is possible not to hit a bridge in a truck you have to pay attention to the job. Over size loads are specific routes for a reason. When you can't read the road signs it's problem for everyone on the road. After 46 years trucking never hit a bridge. Backed up a few times but that's the job that's why you pay attention to what's around you.
I'm no expert truck driver myself, I'm fairly new still, but if the load looks too high, pull out the measuring tape, its not that hard.
It is hard in rain, snow and wind. Indoors is different ball game
@spawn11 all u need is someone to hold it at the end
@spawn11 If you can't get a brush for the snow, or wear a raincoat to survive the rain, or even get some help from another person to hold a measuring tape. You don't belong near a truck.
I'm also interested to know, what kind of over-height load are you storing indoors? Must be a large garage.
Great series on youtube called 11 ft 8 bridge. Compilation of dozens of trucks destroyed by a low bridge in N Carolina in spite of radar controlled overheight flashing warning signs that get ignored. Regarding measuring tape, a tall thin stick on the front bumper to test for clearance might work, but several of the videos show the driving slowing down to a crawl to test clearance with his roof, SLOOWWLY pealing it off.
Why aren't they charging them what it costs to repair it,?
That would be the liability coverage of the insured party that would pay to repair the bridge.
The driver has probably fled the country already.
We need more Commercial inspection sites on all Highways having only 2 is poor safety and drivers will go around them and the only way they get caught is either by a roadside stop or an accident happens.
Right lol
Alright, you want more scales... I want more 4 wheelers to get pulled into their very own inspection stations, too, and getting tickets fine and suspension for brake checking semis unsafe vehicles and all that comes with the responsibility of having the privilege to have a license.
Oh, right, I don't live in a fantasy world.
We need to shut down all these shitty one-truck driving schools that deliberately teach new drivers to violate traffic laws.
And who’s going to pay for all that? You and me. That’s who.
This driver caused thousands of dollars in damage but only got fined $500. Our tax dollars will pay the rest of the cost to repair that overpass. It’s such bs.
@@Jeremie000 That's what the scales are there for. In the USA they have a building beside the scale with pit you drive in the the inspector goes through everything. Here in Canada they have to crawl under your truck.
However more scale houses means more inspections.
Just from Bellingham to Tacoma WA on just the I5 alone they have 3 to 4 of them as an example.
You have to remember that they don't have bridges and overpasses like these in India ... That explains it.
If only they paid attention in the class room when they teach you about all this stuff. They even mention the over passes that get hit most often.
The do have to worry about cows there. They build high speed rail with Japan's help, they are so careful and safe there, it is taking forever.
And 30 people on top of the truck
India has a far better highways and roads then poor canada
Canada is broke bro, how hard it is to install over hight radars on highways?
Let them pay for EVERYTHING.
The Chohan, Balbinder, Gill, Sukvinder Daliwall Chodes just all got deported to punjab
Chohan should be made to repair the overpass since they were the ones that destroyed it.
I've been commuting to work in Metro Vancouver for decades and the driving behaviour of truckers has gradually gotten worse. In the last few years it has really gotten dangerous out there and most of the truckers drive their trucks like taxi cabs. And we all know what that means. Many years ago taxi drivers were actually professionals and took pride in their jobs. Trucking has gone the same path as the taxi business. You see a pattern here? Ofcourse the government won't dare acknowledge this truth!
Job sucks. Hours suck. Pay sucks. Equipment sucks. RV bums taking over rest stops. What did you think would happen? Desperadoes and washouts only need apply.
@@irvhh143you arent wrong
we all know why this happens... some licences should not be transferable to canadian. although lets be honest most of these drivers don't have real licenses they are using their cousins or forged documents they brought from home. if they get caught they go back and return to canada with a different name.
Exactly.
The new truckers are paying to get their license. No test needed. Need to investigate the training companies giving these licenses away.
II find it difficult to see how this type of accident could happen once let alone several times, it's 100 percent preventable
The worse part is when your over height it triggers lights to go off well before the bridge I wonder how they could miss that lol.
Contractor or not, the company itself has the big responsibility for maintaining the safety net for it all.
Retraining is a must
They won't learn.
Chohan management is lying and trying to blame driver.
Yup they probably told him the last load made it fine
This is what undercutting has gotten us... 1 ethnic group running an entire industry... money first, safety last...

Yes and i am annoyed daily with the lack of courtesy we receive from these large trucks, cranes and cement trucks constantly driving over all speed limits and all lanes.
20 yrs ago it was courtesy for trucks to stay in the far right lane now these supposed " professional drivers" occupy all and any lane. I agree with the 3rd world mentality of many drivers on the roads now. They really feel entitled and enjoying us "dumb ignorant" courteous Canadians..( again foreign thinking for us originals )
Its too bad its the most common culture to look for every advantage to screw any and everyone.
I know many 1st class ppl of all cultures.
Lets not even talk about the ones who also travel in the passing / fast lane oblivious to the hi beams and ppl speeding past them honking at them on both sides....nor will we speak of the dozens of ones in the carpool lane illegally and defiant to challenges by law abiding citizens. I havent seen any checks of carpool lane in years on hwy 1.
The entiled narcissists are daily in full display on hwy 1 and 99, 91 c and likely all roads.
Ever driven on Germany freeways? They have a dedicated truck lane on the extreme right of every freeway - and heaven help any trucker that ventures out of that lane. You can move left one lane IN ORDER TO PASS A TRUCK IN FRONT OF YOU but you have to move right back into the right hand lane once you're passed. It works very well there. So, so, why haven't we adopted this feature? Oh. I forgot. Our road allowances are sub-substandard in width, so extra lanes are OUT. Canada has such a great shortage of land they need to keep road allowances really pinched. And then there's the funding issue. 94% of all the road taxes collected in Canada DO NOT GO TO FUND THE ROADS. Don't ask! Okay. You asked. $8.5 BILLION a year toward 'official bilingualism'. A very expensive pogrom that produces zero results. At the expense of modern road infrastructure.

$500 fine… how about making them pay for the repairs!?! There’s no excuse. There are digital maps with all the overpass heights on them, trip planning software for overheight vehicles, and the overpasses are all physically marked.
If the owner / operator left without permission and clearances for their load, a call for theft should have immediately been made to the police. This is obviously *NOT* a management company, as they couldnt manage their way out of a wet plain paper bag.
Just another example of total disregard for Canada or her values. They’ll open under another different name in a week, guaranteed. The entire industry has gone to Hell & for what, VOTES!? Have a look at the trucking classifieds…experience from india is acceptable (without proof) and they have NO IDEA wtf they’re doing…most can’t navigate a parking lot let alone Canadian highways. Period.
What's the big deal , 550 dollar fine should be enough to repair the overpass . Are our driver's licenses handled off shore ?
Yeah, they're handed from Turdeau, in exchange for cash.
The company’s license is suspended I believe.
So, it turns out bureaucracy in licensing doesn’t produce better drivers…It just ends up being more expensive, arguably to expensive for the average joe to get a CDL, so we have a smaller labour pool to hire from, which kills the meritocracy of employment in the industry. But, lots of trucking companies who are short on drivers will pay 20k to get their cousin guy his class 1, give him the bare legal minimum in training, supervision and mentorship and we the tax payers reap the rewards. Good Job Government!
Well now. I dont want to assume who is driving these trucks causing these issues, but there seems to be a pattern. 🤔
These accidents are often the result of minimal monetary compensation for professional drivers. Most of the professional drivers are no longer working in the trucking industry as it is a financial lost cause! That's why the industry is now being serviced by small contractors who take risks to save money trying to keep their little company afloat, We import inexperience risk taking people from all over the world, give them a driver permit, a set of keys and send them on their way to either drive a tractor trailer or teach other new Canadians how to drive a truck. Later we find out they fell asleep behind the wheel and hit a bus full of young hockey players. Of course we lock them up in jail for years. Grrr.... just too much BS!
$500. fine? How about $50,000. fine.
Make the company pay for damages
I am Indian myself came to Canada in 2009. Went there to work as Dump truck driver for an Punjabi employer. Without any training, any contract, no paperwork telling me to start driving next day. I said no thanks...
Second job, another Punjabi employer wants me to do 4 weeks of *Unpaid training* i said good bye again...
Then I promised myself would never work for Punjabi employers they all shady.
This is a classic example of a flooding of unqualified drivers hitting our roads. A lot of companies catering to New Canadians do not give them proper training through the M.E.L.T program. I’m glad I work in the oil field on ice roads. I would never do transport!
In 1999, there was a coroner's inquest after 2 high profile multiple fatality runaways...Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal and Kamloops.The coroner's findings resulted in a huge hiring spree of safety officers to staff the weigh scales/inspection stations 24/7. That made a huge difference in a positive way to a safer transportation sector in BC. Now, 20+ years later, staffing levels at the inspection stations are down, hours of operation are down, drivers wages are down, driver safety and professionalism are down. Meanwhile, the BC government fired experienced CVSE safety officers for non compliance with the provinces coof mandate...becuase safety or something. There are thousands of qualified professionals in BC that were fired and never rehired in the last few years. Doctors, nurses, safety officers, patrol officers, social workers, prison guards, scientists, etc. Guaranteed, their coof mandates have done more damage than good, this is just another example. The lifestyle and services in BC are getting worse by the day. The government here is either incompetent or evil.

Because almost all semi drivers are East Indians😊
Everyone knows why this is happening. All truckers talk about this, the police know. But media won’t say it. Certain people don’t follow laws, because it’s not important to them.
Brown bros. They need to say it .
Yeah, trucking companies. Instead of having drivers as employees with living wages, they have them as "independent contractors" who cut corners because it is the only way they can afford to put food on the table. Do a search for "trucks john oliver", he did a good piece on how the industry is pushing drivers to the brink.
Company owners should not be allowed to open the another company at all and bar them completely from being called the transport comapny anymore fine them the full repair bill
$500 fine for damages likely to cost in the several hundred thousands-range?
Why not impose meaningful fines for even being caught, enough to discourage entirely the slightest possibility of such issues occurring?
so these guys pass professional licence requirements ? facts are that there is a huge influx of foreign drivers/trucking operators that may not be familiar enough with conditions/clearance of overpasses on the routes being travelled on. or is it also a problem of too much red tape /delays in transport permits causing frustrated truckers to get the job done without the permit (illegal)which have route information/restrictions if loads are over height/overweight et.al.
And yet again an Indian originated trucking comapny with most likely drivers with Indian backgrounds, especially North Indian near Pakistan. When will the Canadian government learn that not everyone moving there has the same sense of responsibility as the locals. People come from diverse backgrounds and often with very loose interpretations of reponsible behaviors. All foreign drivers must have more stringent rules the first 10 years of their life in any new contry.

You get where you pay for. You're talking about an industry where the average driver has not seen an increase in pay in decades. Every 3 or 4 years you might see a 2% raise. That's completely meaningless. A job that used to pay 3 times or 4 times minimum wage, is now paying a couple of dollars an hour above minimum wage. All the good drivers have left the industry. And The wages are no longer attractive enough to bring competent people into the industry. That's why the governments of all the provinces are going to third world countries and bringing people here to get behind the wheel of the trucks. Nobody over here is interested in doing the job because it doesn't pay enough. I've been driving truck for over 30 years. I've got a couple more years left and I'm retiring. I'm making the same amount of money now that I did back in the early 90s. Which means I'm making less than I did in the early 90s........ And until you address the actual underlying problem, these symptoms are going to continue. The problem is the job doesn't pay enough to attract competent people so the companies are forced to hire people that they would otherwise never consider for the position and the carnage that you see out on the highways is a symptom of that reality. So remember the next time you look in your rear view Mirror and all You can see is the grill of a great Big semi 6 inches off your back bumper going a 100 km an hour....... That guy just came from a third world country and he has no experience whatsoever. Enjoy your trip.

Rob Fleming should introduce legislation making it illegal to own or operate trucks capable of carying tall loads, say 5 meters or higher. To be really effective, this new legislation should also list and and ban all low overpasses.
Yes they are wreckless I have worked in this industry and seen first hand these guys skipping pre-trips, ignoring obvious problems and saying ah dont worry she has been running like that for years. Most of them that is.
Trucking companies should be required to put up either 1) a cash bond (say $2 million) or 2) equivalent property assets as a collateral for operating their company. Cash retainers would be paid interest (prime or similar). If their vehicles (or contractors for them) cause infrastructure (or personnel) damage, at least some of the cost is already guaranteed.
Longer safety records (8+ years) could earn a reduction in up front monies - although well established companies probably have sufficient assets that they wouldn't be using cash in the first place.
