Integrity
Integrity is the cornerstone of our business.
It means we do the right thing even when no one is watching.
It also means we conduct ourselves and our business according to the golden rule: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Following the golden rule builds trust, customer advocacy, and a strong team.
Safety and the Environment
Safety is at the forefront of everything we do.
We are committed to exceeding safety compliance by using modern, well-maintained equipment and laser-focused operations practices. Our vehicles are equipped with digital sensors to maintain peak efficiency and trigger maintenance protocols. We also use dash-cams and sensors to alert, document and track any harsh driving incidents, so we can build training scenarios that boost driver skills and reduce insurance costs. Through certifications and ongoing training, our team is equipped with the knowledge to safely transport fuel in an efficient manner.
Caring about the environment is about integrity and long-term stewardship.
At Upper Canada Carriers, our vehicles are governed to conserve fuel, and we use a diesel catalyst to boost efficiency and control soot emissions. Beyond that we strive to:
reduce carbon emissions by eliminating unnecessary idle time,
responsibly dispose of hazardous waste such as motor oil, batteries, and other components and by-products of our operations,
reduce, re-use, and recycle whenever possible,
continue to seek methods to exceed safety and environmental regulations.
