How we look after it
Clean, checked equipment is the first thing a shipper sees at the dock.
Inspected before every trip
A full walk-around and trip inspection before the truck rolls, as Canadian trucking rules require.
Reefers pre-cooled
The unit is checked and the trailer brought down to your set point before it backs into your dock.
Securement checked
Straps, chains and tarps inspected before flatbed and Super B loads leave the yard.
