by Today's Trucking

More than 100 Canadian trucking companies were recognized Oct. 17 as the top employers in the sector.

The awards were doled out during Trucking HR Canada’s Top Fleet Employers awards gala in Toronto. There were 104 fleets recognized in the 11th year of the program, which celebrates those companies that are the best places to work in the trucking and logistics sector, thanks to their HR practices.

“The Top Fleet Employers awards gala is the highlight of Trucking HR Canada’s year, giving us a chance to come together and celebrate with the country’s top fleets,” Angela Splinter, CEO, THRC, said in a release. “The Top Fleet Employers program keeps growing every year, demonstrating the industry’s desire to continue reaching high standards of HR excellence in operations, champion best practices across the industry, and position the sector as a rewarding workplace.”

Four fleets were singled out as best in class. They were:

  • Classic Freight Transport (small fleet category);
  • Polaris Transportation Group (medium-sized fleet);
  • XTL Transport (top large fleet); and
  • Walmart Fleet ULC (private fleet services).

There were also nine companies recognized as Achievement of Excellence Award winners for excelling in specific areas. These include:

  • Steve’s Livestock Transport (employee engagement);
  • Wellington Group of Companies (HR innovation);
  • Challenger Motor Freight (HR leadership);
  • Bison Transport (training and skills development);
  • XTL Transport (community engagement);
  • Armour Transportation systems (women in the workplace);
  • Parkland Corp. (workplace culture);
  • KAG Canada (diversity and inclusion); and
  • Rosenau Transport (workplace wellness and mental health).

Trucking HR also commended the following fleets for being 10-time recipients of the awards: Challenger Motor Freight; Edge Transportation Services; Liberty Linehaul; Linamar Transportation; Ryder Canada Supply Chain Solutions; and Triton Transport.

The organization notes the program is not a “contest,” but that a recognition program and those fleets selected are evaluated “to ensure they meet a rigorous standard in multiple criteria.” Driver feedback is also considered.

    I worked there a number yrs ago and it was God awful. Maybe they changed?
