FAST crossings come to Fort Erie, upgrade in BC
FORT ERIE, ON - Border crossings in Fort Erie, Ontario could become a little faster for selected carriers. The Canada Border Services Agency has installed a dedicated lane and inspection booth at the international Peace Bridge for those that participate in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program. That builds on similar lanes in Windsor and Sarnia, Ontario, as well as the Pacific Highway crossing in British Columbia. Trucks can use FAST lanes when the driver is a member of FAST or Commercial Driver Registration programs; the carrier and importer are approved under Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) and Partners in Protection (PIP); and all cargo includes CSA-eligible goods from the U.S. or Mexico.

Leaders stress balance, mentorship at HR summit
TORONTO, ON - The career paths to leadership roles don't always take straight lines. Kelli Saunders, president of Morai Logistics, began by answering the ad for a telemarketing rep at a logistics company. Anne McKee, Chief Operating Officer at Trailer Wizards, began studying earth sciences. Michelle Arseneau, Managing Partner GX Transportation, was still in high school when she joined her sister at a fleet office job that paid better than local retailers. "I don't know if I believe in career paths," McKee adds. "Meanderings used to work very well for me." Despite the varied career paths, they share many similar career philosophies - and offered them up during Trucking HR Canada's recent Women with Drive summit in Toronto.
