    Certify logging truck drivers, says safety ombudsman - CBC British Columbia
    B.C.'s  forest safety ombudsman says the provincial government should introduce a certification program for log haulers, to ensure that only trained, qualified people are driving the big trucks.

    Roger Harris said companies are so short of logging truck drivers, they're hiring people they would never have considered in the past.

    He said the employers call it "putting meat in the seat."
