This distinction is awarded through Northbridge Insurance’s Transportation Best Practices Profile. Drawing on more than 60 years of knowledge and observations from the trucking industry, the profile benchmarks a company’s practices against those of hundreds of other fleets across Canada.
The assessment covers several areas of safety management, including driver selection and training, preventive vehicle maintenance, fatigue management, risk management and cargo safety.
Across most of the practices assessed, QSL Transport either exceeds industry standards or achieves a best-practice level. Among the areas that stand out are cargo management for flatbed vehicles, which earned the highest possible score of 5 out of 5, followed by driver management, fatigue management and the vehicle maintenance program.
These results are built on structured processes that are consistently applied, with a clear objective: protecting our teams and operations, as well as the goods entrusted to us.
Safety is built on countless actions and practices. Maintaining high standards means continuing to learn, adjusting how we work and always looking for ways to improve. Our teams make that progress possible by putting these practices into action, challenging them and helping them evolve in the field.
At QSL Transport, this continuous improvement mindset is already firmly established, particularly through QSL’s management approach. QSL Transport is also included in the organization’s ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified scope.
Congratulations and thank you to all our teams who make safety a priority every day.
