United Canadian Truckers Association

This is a call to every owner-operator and small trucking company across Canada.

It’s time to come together.

If you’re an owner-operator or small trucking company in Canada, don’t stand alone.

We have launched the
“United Canadian Truckers Association” — a national organization by truckers, for truckers.
And the first mission is bold:
To build a fuel co-op that will cut our fuel costs, put money back in our pockets, and give us a real competitive edge.

Here’s how it works:
The strength of this organization lies in numbers.
The more owner-operators and small businesses who join, the greater our negotiating power becomes.
As our fleet grows, so does our leverage—unlocking real savings that have only ever been available to the big players. We only need 50 members to start accessing group discounts, but the true impact begins when we hit 1,000 members or more. At that level, we’re looking at fuel savings of 30 cents per liter—or even more.
We’ll start with fuel because it’s the biggest daily cost we all face. But this is just the beginning. Once we’re rolling, we’ll expand to national accounts for tires, fluids, parts, and more.

The United Canadian Truckers Association is built for true owner-operators and small trucking businesses.
To protect the strength of this community, membership is limited to companies operating five trucks or fewer.
This ensures that savings and benefits go directly to the independent operators who need them most — not large fleets.

This is about unity. This is about power in numbers.
Thousands of truckers fueling up under one powerful banner — with prices we negotiate, not prices we’re forced to accept.
Join the waitlist today. Tell every owner-operator you know.
Because when we act together, we all benefit.
Let’s become the largest fleet in Canada through the strength of independent owners like you.

At this stage, I am seeking expressions of interest from fellow owner-operators and independent carriers who recognize the challenges we’re facing and are open to exploring a united path forward. If this vision resonates with you and you believe in the need for collective action to protect our future in the industry, I encourage you to sign up and show your interest. Your participation at this early stage is critical—it will help determine the scope and direction of what we can build together.

Sign up now.
And let’s fuel our future.

Message from the Managing Director

My name is Ilya Livanovich, and I have been actively engaged in the trucking and logistics industry since 2010. Over the years, I’ve gained firsthand experience across multiple facets of the sector. However, the landscape of our industry is shifting—and not in a sustainable direction.

We are witnessing a growing trend where large-scale operators are leveraging bulk fleet discounts to undercut rates, not through superior service or efficiency, but through economies of scale that are inaccessible to most independent operators. This aggressive pricing model is putting significant pressure on small and mid-sized carriers and threatens the viability of independent businesses that have long been the backbone of this industry.

The time for passive observation is over.

To address this imbalance, I am proposing a strategic initiative: the formation of the largest independent transportation alliance in Canada. By uniting under a shared framework, we can negotiate collective agreements, gain access to the same pricing advantages as major fleets, and restore competitiveness to the independent sector.

This initiative represents a pivotal opportunity to protect our businesses, preserve our livelihoods, and secure a future for the next generation of operators. It will require dedication, transparency, and collaboration from professionals across the country—but the outcome has the potential to reshape the industry in our favor.

Let us move forward—together—with a shared purpose and renewed determination to reclaim our place in the market.

Sincerely,
Ilya Livanovich
