The Saint-Jérôme Centre de formation en transport hosted for the very first time the Colloque des conducteurs professionnels (Professional Drivers Seminar), organized jointly with Contrôle routier Québec and the Bus Carriers Federation.

During the day, drivers attended information sessions on important aspects of their work, mainly:

• American Driving Hours, presented by the Saint-Jérôme Centre de formation du transport routier;
• Custom and Road Inspections, presented by Contrôle Routier Québec;
• North American Fatigue Management Program, presented by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec;
• PECVL File of a Professional Driver, presented by the Commission des transports du Québec and McCarthy Tétrault.
