WHO WE ARE.
The Truck Loggers Association is an influential voice in the forest industry on behalf of its 500 member companies across BC. Celebrating 75 years of advocacy, the TLA was formed to give independent loggers a collective voice in the changes taking place in society and the forest industry, as well as to share information about newly developing logging machines, methods, and technology. The TLA now represents independent timber harvesting contractors, phase contractors, market loggers, independent sawmills, industry suppliers and forest resource dependent communities.

Congratulations to all of our scholarship students!
The TLA has been awarding scholarships for over 40 years. Funds are raised for the TLA’s Forestry Education Fund through the live and silent auctions held each year at the TLA’s annual Convention + Trade Show. This money supports ongoing forestry education programs and scholarships. We couldn’t support these scholarships without the support of our members who donate items to the TLA’s auctions and the members who purchase items at the auction.

Starting this summer, provincially regulated commercial vehicle operators will be required to use electronic logging devices (ELDs) to track drivers’ time behind the wheel, reducing the likelihood of driving while tired.
ELDs automatically record driving time, helping to ensure commercial drivers do not drive longer each day than regulations allow. ELDs accurately track hours of service and reduce the risk of incidents due to driver fatigue.
“Using technology to ensure that commercial drivers aren’t on the road longer than they should be on a given day will protect their safety and the safety of others on B.C. highways,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “It will also support a more efficient trucking industry, which is critical to keeping supplies moving across the province.”
The requirement will take effect on Aug. 1, 2023, giving B.C. carriers six months to install ELDs across their fleets and to complete driver and dispatcher training.
