Drapeau, the asset-based hazmat specialist and the first year for crossborder LTL carrier, Polaris Transportation.

Angela Splinter, CEO, Trucking HR Canada states, “ J.G. Drapeau and Polaris both shine in the employee survey review – they clearly provide a family atmosphere where everyone feels valued and are treated with respect. We commend them for being leaders in showcasing this industry as a great place to work.”

President of the Polaris Transportation Group, Dave Cox comments, “One of the key reasons we purchased J.G. Drapeau was how well their family culture married with ours. We are a people company first and it’s great to get recognition through this unbiased third party assessment that our approach is working. Along with making our company a great place to work, we are also making it a company that is easy to do business with. We are accomplishing this through our team, our technology and our passion to excel as a transportation and logistics leader in the industry.”

According to Trucking HR Canada, all applicants were rated on topics including recruitment and retention practices, workplace culture, compensation, training and skills development as well as innovative HR practices.
