Published purpose
Prior to the onset of COVID-19, the Canadian trucking industry was facing a labour shortage of 20,000 jobs, which is forecasted to increase to over 50,000 by 2024. COVID-19 has introduced new challenges and impacted the ability of drivers to access work sites, find work, or even get a meal or shower. A push to develop domestic manufacturing capacity, dynamic supply chains and a surge in online shopping (e-commerce) and home delivery are placing increased pressure on the industry and the highly stressed Canadian commercial driver training sector. Bluedrop is seeking to customize and test its SkillsPass platform to help the trucking industry address the new challenges that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic.
