Arrow Transportation Systems wins Trucking HR Canada's Top BC Fleet award
Ten B.C. carriers made the 2026 Top Fleet Employers list, and four fleets joined the Women's Leadership Accord at a Nov. 5 event in Langley.
Arrow Transportation Systems Inc. has won the Top BC Fleet Award from Trucking HR Canada (THRC). The award goes to the B.C. fleet that received the highest overall score from Top Fleet Employers assessors on its 2026 submission, THRC said on Nov. 10.
The award was presented at a full-day event in Langley on Nov. 5, held in partnership with the BC Trucking Association, which was hosting its Awards Day. The day opened with an express edition of THRC's Trucking & Logistics Workforce Bootcamp for a room of B.C. fleets before moving on to the recognition.
Ten B.C. fleets on the 2026 list
Top Fleet Employers is a national program that recognizes trucking and logistics organizations for their HR policies and practices. Fleets go through an annual assessment of how they employ, support and engage their people. A total of 98 fleets earned the recognition in 2026.
The 10 B.C.-based fleets on this year's list are:
- Alchemist Specialty Carriers
- Arrow Transportation Systems Inc.
- Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd.
- Canaan Shipping Co. Ltd.
- Castle Fuels (2008) Inc.
- Coastal Mountain Fuels
- ColdStar Solutions Inc.
- Sutco Contracting Ltd.
- Triple Eight Transport Inc.
- Triton Transport Ltd.
"Fleets from BC are an important part of moving goods across Canada," said Angela Splinter, president and CEO of Trucking HR Canada. "As Top Fleet Employers, these organizations have already demonstrated their commitment to leading workplace practices. By participating in industry events like this, and joining the Women's Leadership Accord, they are further demonstrating their commitment to HR excellence and strengthening our sector's workforce."
Four new Women's Leadership Accord members
THRC also welcomed four organizations to its Women's Leadership Accord in a ceremony at the event: Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd., Castle Fuels (2008) Inc., Sutco Transportation Specialists and Triton Transport Ltd.
They join 75 organizations across Canada that have received Accord Certificates of Excellence. THRC launched the Accord in 2025 around four pillars: gender equity, inclusivity, safety and empowerment. Organizations earn a certificate by showing what they already have in place for leadership, attraction and recruitment, retention, health and safety, and community engagement.
The Accord is supported by Women and Gender Equality Canada, with the Women's Trucking Federation of Canada as a project partner.
Applications open for 2027
Applications for the 2027 Top Fleet Employers program are open now, THRC said.
