Safety record
11,857 roadside inspections on file. Drivers were put out of service 228 times, vehicles 2,220 times.

|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe driving | Speeding, reckless driving, seat belts | 1,247 | Below threshold |
| Hours of service | Driving beyond the permitted hours, logbooks | 1,137 | Below threshold |
| Driver fitness | Licences, medical certificates, qualification files | 108 | Below threshold |
| Controlled substances | Drugs and alcohol | 20 | Below threshold |
| Vehicle maintenance | Brakes, lights, load securement | 4,084 | Below threshold |
