LP1524 Understanding LMIA in Trucking: How the System Works and Where Newcomers Get Exploited
01/30/2026
LP1524 Understanding LMIA in Trucking: How the System Works and Where Newcomers Get Exploited
Understanding LMIA in Trucking: How the System Works and Where Newcomers Get Exploited The LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) system was designed to fill labour shortages—but in trucking, it’s often misunderstood and, in some cases, abused. In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we break down how the LMIA system is supposed to work, how it’s used in the trucking industry, and where newcomers can be vulnerable to exploitation. From illegal fees and false promises to job dependency and fear of speaking up, this conversation is about education and protection—not fear. If you’re new to Canada, thinking about trucking, or already working under an LMIA, this episode will help you understand the system, recognize red flags, and ask better questions before putting your livelihood at risk.

LP1523 Misclassified and Misled: How Driver Classification Impacts Immigrant Truck Drivers
Misclassified and Misled: How Driver Classification Impacts Immigrant Truck Drivers Driver misclassification is one of the most misunderstood—and most damaging—issues in the trucking industry, especially for immigrant workers new to Canada. In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we break down the difference between employees and independent contractors, why misclassification happens, and how it can affect pay, benefits, taxes, job security, and legal status. Immigrant drivers are often targeted because they may be unfamiliar with Canadian labour laws or afraid to ask questions. This conversation is about education, protection, and empowerment—helping drivers recognize red flags, ask the right questions, and avoid costly mistakes before signing on. If you’re a driver, carrier, recruiter, or policymaker, this episode is essential listening. At Bison – They Put Safety First!

LP1519 Why Drivers Are Not Numbers – And How to Keep Them Happy at Your Carrier
Why Drivers Are Not Numbers – And How to Keep Them Happy at Your Carrier In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we tackle a major issue facing today’s trucking industry: drivers feeling like numbers instead of valued professionals. High turnover, constant recruiting, and burned-out drivers are symptoms of a deeper problem—poor communication, lack of respect, and weak retention strategies. We break down why drivers leave carriers, what actually keeps them happy on the job, and how fleets can shift from endless recruiting to building long-term driver loyalty. Whether you’re a truck driver, fleet owner, recruiter, or operations manager, this episode offers real-world insight into treating drivers like people—not units on a spreadsheet.
