teceived some recogni-
tion last week during a
ceremony last week.

Sixty drivers in all were

“awarded by local trans-

portation agencies and the
transportation and high-
ways ministry for not
driving beyond — legal
weight limits.

The compliance pro-
gram, which recognizes
truckers and companies
with excellent records in
complying with weight
restrictions, is in its third
year.

The numbers are up
Slightly from ' previous
years, with eight drivers
in the region being 100
per cent compliant, 12
teaching 99 per cent and
another 40 carrying al-
lowable loads 95 per cent
of the time.

- That compares with
1996’s figures of five at
100, eight at 99 and 45 at
95 per cent.

The compliance pro-
gram began after two fa-
talities and numerous in-
juries were linked to
overweight loads.

Truck drivers who win
the awards receive decals
for their trucks, marking
‘them as holding a good

compliance record,

That will cut down their
process time at the weigh
stations, says Pollock.

The Terrace-area pro-
gram was the first of its
kind in the province and
has since been copied by
other regions.
