In Cambridge, Ont., a transportation company has taken the truck driver shortage problem into its own hands. Challenger Motor Freight has developed the Challenger Transportation Training Academy and classes start July 15.

There is a five-week tractor trailer program and a six-week A/Z license course.
In an industry with a high turnover rate, Challenger is hoping to avoid this problem with the graduates coming from its own academy.
