Each year the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association Safety Council showcases the many talented men
and women whose profession is truck driving.

The APTA Safety Council organizes the Atlantic Driving Championships to promote safe driving skills and professional awareness among truck drivers. In order to compete, a driver must be a professional truck driver and must have maintained an accident free driving record for at least one full year before the event.

Commercial Safety College is proud to once again be involved with this important industry event. We invite everyone with an interest in the Truck Driving Industry to attend this exciting competition, and support Atlantic Canada’s professional drivers!
