    LP1524 Understanding LMIA in Trucking: How the System Works and Where Newcomers Get Exploited
    2026/01/30
    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.

    2026/01/28
    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.
