About Us / Commitment
At Day & Ross, we don’t just move freight. We care about being good citizens in the communities where we operate, drive, and live.
Nothing is more important to us than our community, our customers, and our people. Whether we’re on the road or in the office, we’ve invested in tools and training to help keep our drivers, our employees, and your freight safe. We use the latest in-cab technologies like two-way cameras, satellite speed control, and collision mitigation systems.
Safety also means being secure. At Day & Ross, we take care of your freight, and we’re compliant with national security legislation. Our certifications include:
Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Free and Secure Trade (FAST)
Partners in Protection (PIP)
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) eManifest
Customs Self Assessment (CSA)
Pacific Industrial Contractor Screening (PICS)
Taking care of the environment is a job we take seriously. We rely on diesel and gasoline to deliver freight to our customers, so we’re always looking for better ways to reduce our emissions:
We invest in technology that optimizes our fuel efficiency, like aerodynamic trailers, low rolling resistance tires, and TIREMAAX® PROinflation systems.
We maximize efficiencies by route planning, loading trailers to optimum levels, and using LCVs to reduce our emissions per tonne of freight.
We’ve been a SmartWay approved carrier since 2009.
We’re investing in new terminals with many of the latest safety and environmental upgrades: solar panels; geo-thermal heating and cooling for the office; pre-cast wall panels in the dock; LED lighting; electric forklifts and charging stations for employee vehicles, yard trucks, and one day, local delivery trucks too.
Day & Ross is committed to making a difference in the communities where we work and live. We’re proud to support a variety of local and national charities, including:
Habitat for Humanity
Canadian Cancer Society
Sick Kids Foundation
Cure Foundation/National Denim Day
Canadian Mental Health Association/Kindness Day
Make a Wish Foundation
