PIC: Mullen, Exalta, Schlumberger, W-K Trucking Earn PIC Status

Two more Alberta-based trucking fleets will be enjoying perks, including operational savings, granted only to those fleets with exceptional safety records. Congratulations to the following four fleets that were awarded PIC status in June:

1. Exalta Transport Services Ltd.
2. Mullen Oilfield Services Ltd.
3. Schlumberger Canada Limited
4. W-K Trucking Inc.

Partners In Compliance staff have been travelling to fleet operations throughout the province, as they respond to a marked upsurge in PIC membership inquiries.

There are many reasons that entice companies to join PIC. The biggest incentive is 98% scale bypass. This saves time, which translates into savings to a company’s bottom line. AMTA estimates that each time a truck stops at a scale it costs $5 per stop. While that may not seem like a lot, when spread out over an entire fleet over the course of an entire year the savings add up. At a savings of $5.00 per green light pass, this represents a combined savings of almost $650,000.00 to current PIC members.

If you would like more information on how to place your companies' name on the list above, please feel free to give the staff at Partners In Compliance a call. PIC staffers are available to help your company “work towards excellence” and acquire the many benefits available to companies whose desire is to be ranked among the safest companies in Alberta.
