PMTC and OTDS Announce the release of the 8th Annual Canadian Private Fleet Benchmarking Survey

For Immediate Release
 
Milton, ON:
 
The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada and Benchmark Sponsor, Ontario Truck Driving School, have announced that the 8th annual PMTC Canadian Private Fleet benchmarking survey instrument is live as of today, February 5th.  This study is open for completion by all Private Fleets which have a base of operations in Canada. PMTC Membership is not a requirement.
“For the last 7 years the PMTC has partnered with the National Private Truck Council and re-introduced the first Canadian specific private benchmarking survey reports since 2011” remarked PMTC President Mike Millian. “The response to these surveys and the quality of the Benchmarking report produced have been gratifying and provide a valuable tool and resource to our membership. As a result, we are once again partnering with the NPTC for the 2024 Survey.  The NPTC has been producing a private fleet benchmark survey in the USA annually since 2005, and by partnering with them again, the PMTC feels it is guaranteeing another quality and highly respected report for our members”
 
The PMTC has a benchmarking committee, made up of Canadian operators who review the survey annually. The committee works on shaping the survey and updating it to ensure it is reflective of the current Canadian marketplace. This input is invaluable in ensuring the survey instrument is current, relevant, and valuable to Canadian fleets. 
 
The survey is designed for the benefit of PMTC members, and its results will only be provided, at no charge, with their PMTC membership. The survey is yet another value add that will allow private fleets to benchmark their operations to other best-in class performers. A performance evaluation/ validation and opportunity identification guide based on industry standards of excellence. This free value to our members would not be possible without the support of our Sponsor for 2024, Ontario Truck Driving School. “We are thrilled that OTDS has choose to partner with the PMTC and its members and has chosen to invest in sponsoring this survey for a 5th consecutive year! This sponsorship helps to cover the costs of the report, which allows the PMTC to provide this report free to its membership.”, continued Millian
 
“As a Registered Private Career College, who prides ourselves on maintaining the highest education standards resulting in the best "in class" entry level drivers to the Trucking Industry, we at OTDS feel sponsoring a survey that allows fleets to compare best practices and bench mark their operations to help them be best in class at what they do, was a natural fit. We are proud to help the PMTC make this resource available to its members” stated OTDS President and CEO Gus Rahim
