Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has mailed out suspension letters to truck drivers who the province believes “dishonestly” obtained their Class A licences during testing or training.
A spokesperson for the ministry told Newstalk 1010 that 185 drivers received the letter.
In a statement to CTV News, Dakota Brasier, a spokesperson for Ontario’s transportation minister, said the province has “zero tolerance for bad actors on our roads.”
“(We) have suspended the Ontario Class A commercial driver’s licences of individuals who we believe to have obtained them dishonestly during the Class A testing and/or training process,” Brasier wrote.
“The Ministry of Transportation has sent letters to each of these individuals, imposing an immediate suspension of their license.”
It is not clear how many suspensions were handed out. The province has not provided any details on how the licences were “dishonestly” obtained.
