Conduct Review Policy for Heavy Vehicle Owners and Operators

The Conduct Review Policy for Heavy Vehicle Owners and Operators defines the rules regarding the compilation of records on owners and operators (HVOOs), as well as the procedures by which their conduct is monitored and assessed.

New versions of the Conduct Review Policy for Heavy Vehicle Owners and Operators and the Conduct Review Policy for Heavy Vehicle Drivers will come into force on January 1, 2023. The Excellence Program for Heavy Vehicle Drivers will also be abolished on that date. Please refer to the page regarding the revisions that have been made to the conduct review policies for heavy vehicle owners, operators and drivers (in French only) for more information.

The Policy in brief

We have formulated the Conduct Review Policy for Heavy Vehicle Owners and Operators (PDF, 1.4 Mo)This file does not meet the Web accessibility standard. in collaboration with our governmental partners and associations in the road transportation industry.

This policy stems from the Act respecting owners, operators and drivers of heavy vehicles (Bill 430). Its goals are to:

  • define the rules concerning the compilation of HVOO's records and the procedures by which their conduct is monitored and assessed
  • Identify HVOOs that represent a threat to road safety and the integrity of the road network and then intervene by contacting them as quickly as possible

Who is subject to the Policy?

All heavy vehicle owners and operators required to register in the register of owners and operators of heavy vehicles of the Commission des transports du Québec, namely:

  • owners and operators of heavy vehicles registered in Québec, whether the vehicles are operated in Québec or in another Canadian jurisdiction
  • operators of heavy vehicles that are registered outside Canada but operated in Québec
