Manitoba Trucking Association

Manitoba Trucking Association The Manitoba Trucking Association exists to develop and maintain a safe and healthy business environment for our industry members.

The Manitoba Trucking Association exists to advocate, support and educate to ensure a safe and healthy business environment for the trucking industry. We have been the voice of the trucking industry in Manitoba since 1932. We are, first and foremost, an advocacy group working on behalf of the trucking industry. We are comprised of Carrier members and Associated Trades members. We have over 300 mem

ber companies that represent over 10,000 employees. Those member companies represent about 25% of the for-hire trucking companies in Manitoba, whose fleets represent over 75% of the trucks licensed in Manitoba. Our Carrier members range in size from one‐truck operators to companies with over a thousand trucks. We have PSV (for‐hire) fleets, private fleets, household mover fleets, heavy haul fleets, couriers and local cartage companies among our membership. Our Board of Directors receives input from the Associated Trades Division, Trucking Safety Council, Vehicle Maintenance Council, Bulk Milk Haulers, plus other committees that can operate on a short or long term basis. Members of the MTA’s Board of Directors also represent the MTA’s interests at the national level on the CTA’s (Canadian Trucking Alliance) Board of Directors and Advisory Committees.

Earlier this year, and thanks to award sponsor Inland Truck & Equipment, we recognized ten drivers for the MTA-Inland Group Industry Excellence Award. The recipients of the award were recognized not only as skilled professional drivers and well-respected colleagues, but also for the exceptional individuals they are. They are the calm voice helping a stranded traveller. They are the familiar face greeting a customer who may be having a difficult day. They are the reason hospitals receive supplies, grocery stores stay stocked, and schools have the tools they need to teach our children. They are mentors, role models, neighbours, friends, and family members. Congratulations, thank you, and happy National Trucking Week!

At the MTA Driver Awards Banquet in May, we were proud to announce, along with award sponsor Volvo Trucks North America Canada, that Ted Wachna of HyLife was named the 2026 MTA-Volvo Trucks Canada Driver of the Year for Manitoba. “Ted represents the very best of Manitoba’s trucking industry,” said Randy Fleming of Volvo Trucks Canada during the award presentation. “This award is about more than miles driven — it’s about the example you set every day, both on and off the road.”

Wachna has spent 37 years in the trucking industry and has accumulated more than 3.6 million miles with zero preventable accidents over the course of his career. In addition to his exceptional driving record, he is recognized as a mentor, trainer, and respected leader among his peers.

For more than a decade, Wachna has served as an in-cab coach, helping train and guide newer drivers entering the industry. He is also known for consistently going above and beyond his regular duties, including volunteering personal time to help maintain equipment and support fleet operations.

Congratulations once again to the MTA-Volvo Trucks Canada Driver of the Year for Manitoba! Happy National Trucking Week!
