Safety Committee training yesterday with RPM. Looking forward to lots of good discussion between drivers, shop, and office as we continue to build and improve our business. Listening to feedback is the only way to improve, and a strong Safety Committee is a critical part to getting good feedback. It’s great to make use of our fancy new boardroom too! #safety

Have a Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

We rarely see one of our trucks hit the million km mark, but this one was running well so we decided to find out whether a 7th digit does actually exist on the odometer. Our driver John sent this photo in who has driven over 95% of the KM on this truck. #peterbilt #trucking
