“These numbers show an improvement of standards from last year, where over half of the vehicles were taken out of service, but there is still work to be done,” says Sergeant Dave Beattie with the EPS Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit. “The results are not indicative of the industry as a whole, as these checks generally do not capture statistics relating to long haul carriers, but rather those working in and around Edmonton.”
