Mississauga Is a Trucking City

Pearson International Airport sits inside Mississauga, and the 401/427/407/QEW interchange around it is one of the densest commercial-vehicle networks in North America. Thousands of transport trucks move through the city every day. When one of them hits a passenger car, the physics are brutally one-sided — a loaded tractor-trailer weighs up to 30 times what your vehicle does.

Why Truck Cases Are Not Car Cases

A truck collision is a fundamentally different legal animal:

• Multiple liable parties — the driver, the trucking company (vicarious liability), the truck's owner, the freight broker, the shipper who loaded it, the maintenance contractor, and sometimes the parts manufacturer.
• Federal and provincial regulation — hours-of-service rules, log books, inspection and maintenance requirements all create avenues of liability that don't exist in an ordinary car crash.
• Corporate defence teams — trucking insurers dispatch rapid-response investigators to the scene within hours. They are building their defence while you are still in hospital.
• Catastrophic injuries — which means the claims are larger and fought far harder.

The Evidence Clock Is Brutal

This is the single most important thing to understand. Electronic logging device (ELD) data is frequently overwritten on a 14-day cycle. Dashcam footage, telematics, driver logs, dispatch records and maintenance files can all vanish on routine retention schedules — entirely lawfully — before you have even finished your first round of physio.

Our first step in a truck file is a spoliation / preservation letter putting every potentially liable party on formal notice to retain that data. Every day of delay is evidence you may never recover. Regulatory background: Ontario Commercial Vehicle Safety · Transport Canada.
