SAFETY CORNER
FALL DRIVING HAZARDS Fall is one of the busiest seasons for the trucking industry. Fall is a busy time when businesses stock up on goods for the winter and upcoming celebrations. Fall also brings unique driving hazards. Here are some tips that will help truck drivers navigate the road safely this fall: Watch out for the wildlife Deer are more active as it is their mating season and are more active at dusk and dawn. Be on the lookout for deer eye shine caused by the headlights. Don't swerve. It may jackknife your truck and trailer or cause it to roll over. Adjust for weather changes Poor weather conditions like fog, rain, and wind pose challenges to trucking safety. Don't let changes in the weather catch you off guard. As the temperature drops, frosted windshields in the morning will become commonplace. Clear frost off your truck's windshields, mirrors, and other components before heading out. WWW. C ANADACARTAGE.COM
eBeaver: page 2 of 26 Beware of the leaves on the road Any road debris poses problems for truck drivers. Leaves can also conceal potholes, bumps, ice, and other hazards that can cause hydroplaning and other road accidents. If you notice leaf patches or piles of leaves on the road, slow down and never drive through them. Slow down As temperatures drop down, slow down. Driving the legal limit may be too fast for cooler weather. Remember to exercise caution as frost covers bridges and overpasses sooner than roads. Shorter days Fall is the time of the year when we have shorter days, meaning more travelling at dusk or nighttime. Check your headlights and taillights to ensure they are all operational and increase your following distance. No matter the season, follow the essential driving tips for truckers. These include driving attentively and responsibly, following road signs and adhering to speed limits. Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And always wear your seatbelt.

Brian Thompson, Operations Manager, CCLS, Mississauga, Ontario Brian consistently demonstrates his dedication to our clients, often going above and beyond in his support. Our customer Superior Glove recently faced a crisis with an emergency shipment stuck in customs. Brian tirelessly communicated with contacts and customs agents to expedite its release. Not long after, when Superior Glove needed to ship goods classified as "dangerous goods" (lithium battery-heated jackets) to the Mines in Chile through DHL – the sole carrier to that region – Brian promptly enrolled in an IATA certification course to meet the requisite conditions. By completing the course and providing the necessary documentation, he facilitated CCLS's ability to handle Superior Glove's unique shipment, potentially paving the way for a new business avenue. Clinton Houle, Lead Hand, CCLS, Winnipeg, Manitoba Known for his unparalleled flexibility, Clinton is willing to step in whenever the team needs him. While his regular shift runs from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday, he's always ready to adjust. Clinton is our go-to, whether filling in from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. when a colleague is away, covering for weekend vacations, or showing up early when someone falls ill. Moreover, as the respected Lead Hand of the evening shift, he upholds the standard of leaving our workspace better than when he arrived. Conrad Douglas, Safety & Compliance Supervisor, and Tony Palmerio, National Safety & Compliance Manager, Mississauga, Ontario Conrad and Tony exhibited unparalleled dedication and determination as they worked through the weekend, piecing together clues and following leads to recover two stolen LCBO loads. Their combined efforts prevented significant losses and thwarted the criminals' attempts to profit from their theft. This feat is a testament to their commitment to their roles and the broader community. Frederic Grondin, Company Driver, Edmonton, Alberta Frederic has consistently proven to be an invaluable asset to our team. He is always ready and eager to step up to any challenge and consistently goes above and beyond his call of duty. His dedication is evident in how he selflessly coaches and guides other drivers, enhancing the team's efficiency. When a driver was absent recently, Frederic immediately jumped into action without hesitation, showcasing his unwavering commitment. His presence guarantees top-notch work and brings a sense of cheer and reassurance to those around him. Gord Doerksen, Company Driver, Whitehorse, Yukon Gord has dedicated nine years to Canada Cartage, primarily serving the Loblaws account.

WWW. C ANADACARTAGE.COM
eBeaver: page 4 of 26 Howard Thomas, Company Driver, Calgary, Alberta Howard was recognized for his unwavering accountability and dedication. After some challenging health issues and facing initial difficulties adapting to a new role, Howard displayed exemplary resilience. He neither complained nor made excuses during his challenging first week but gave his best. With our support and additional training, Howard has successfully taken on this run, which previously saw multiple drivers struggling to meet its demands. Izabela Kucharska (Gierkowski), Operations Manager, Edmonton, Alberta One of our customers recently shared glowing feedback about Izabela. They were extremely pleased with her service and went out of their way to ensure we were aware of her outstanding performance. They strongly believe that Izabela deserves recognition for the dedication and excellence she consistently brings to her work. Harpreet Dhaliwal, Company Driver, Regina, Saskatchewan While covering for someone on vacation, Harpreet managed a KBRO shift. When he returned to the facility, the KBRO team had already departed for the day. Observing a door left open, he immediately reached out to the KBRO manager to confirm whether it should stay open or be shut. The manager was deeply thankful for Harpreet's proactive approach to ensuring the facility's security. Inderjit Singh, Warehouse Associate, CCLS, Winnipeg, Manitoba With a regular schedule from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, Inderjit consistently showcases his dedication by being available on Fridays and Saturdays when others are absent and never hesitating to put in overtime when needed. Not only is he proficient in all warehouse operations, making him a sought-after resource across departments, but his cheerful demeanour and proactive approach to assisting teammates have notably enhanced our daily workflows. Inderjit's exceptional contributions exemplify the qualities of an outstanding warehouse associate. Sarbjeet Grewal, Company Driver, Final Mile Home Delivery, Ontario Sarbjeet has been nominated for the Canada Cartage True North award for his exemplary commitment. He went the extra mile by delivering to a remote area with no cell service, and even after getting stuck, he managed to dig himself out without the ability to call for a tow. While challenging from a safety perspective, such dedication mirrors our core values. Home Depot commended Sarbjeet for this exceptional service that went above and beyond. John Kopchia, Company Driver, Edmonton, Alberta While driving from Langley to Edmonton on Hwy 5, John encountered a harrowing head-on collision. He immediately jumped into action, helping extricate drivers and passengers from the wrecked vehicles. His swift response and assistance proved invaluable to first responders upon their arrival, highlighting the importance of community vigilance and quick thinking in times of crisis. Ken Tanner, Operations Supervisor, Whitehorse, Yukon Ken Tanner has recently taken on the role of Supervisor for the team in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Ken manages one of our busiest routes in Hawkesbury and its vicinity. He proactively checks with nearby customers for pickups, even without dispatch orders. Moreover, he takes exceptional care of Seaway's equipment, ensuring his truck is clean every day before his run, showing pride in his work. Jean-Paul Gagnon, Company Driver, Port Coquitlam, B.C. Jean-Paul consistently assists with orders for fellow drivers in the Victoria area, providing invaluable support to dispatchers and Home Depot stores. His commitment is evident in his impeccable attendance record, only missing shifts when his truck requires servicing. Managers at Home Depot in Victoria praise his work ethic and collaborative spirit. Customer feedback highlights Jean-Paul's professionalism and readiness to accommodate requests within reason. Samantha Neff, Security Administrator, National Safety Team, Mississauga, Ontario Sam, who previously served as the Ontario safety administrator until January 2023, was promoted to the National safety team as the administrator that same month. Despite her promotion, Sam stepped in when the Ontario safety department underwent significant management and administrative shifts, resulting in a substantial backlog in the incident accident reporting and C.A.R. data entry system. Demonstrating exceptional dedication, Sam temporarily resumed her old role in the Ontario safety department, concurrently managing her responsibilities on the National team. With support from her colleagues, she efficiently addressed the data entry backlog, ensuring accurate bonus distribution for Q2. Stuart Mckay, Company Driver, London, Ontario Stuart McKay was celebrated for exemplifying compassion in action. Upon arriving at his delivery location, an LCBO store in southern Ontario, Stuart noticed a distressed senior citizen who had fallen near the entrance. Despite her reliance on a walker, she was alone and unable to stand. When her husband didn't answer her phone, Stuart, relying on her directions, sought out the redbricked house adorned with sunflowers. After knocking on multiple doors, he found her husband, unaware of his wife's predicament. Together, they assisted the lady, who had recently undergone knee surgery, to her feet. His actions today truly embodied the spirit of our brand.

VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER Behruz Kaveh, Company Driver Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Travis Kleinfelder, Company Driver Regina, Saskatchewan
I just wanted to say that Behruz stepped up today and aided us in need. He helped load a trailer for Cliveden as we were behind and then stayed overtime to help deliver the load in a pinch. I just wanted to recognize his hard work and efforts. We appreciate him stepping up when we were in a bind.
Huge shout out to Travis for reporting an issue directly to us, allowing it to be resolved. He is extremely professional and kind, and meeting with him yesterday was a pleasure. I am looking forward to working more with him!

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME SAFETY On Sunday, November 5th, most of North America will turn their clocks back one hour for the end of Daylight Saving Time. Of course, most of us think: “Fantastic! I got another hour of sleep”. However, a significant difference exists between our “society clock” and our “biological clock.” Statistics show increased safety incidents during these changes, putting drivers and pedestrians at risk. In addition, darkness during rush hour reduces the visibility of vehicles, hazards, and pedestrians during peak traffic times. The end of daylight saving time can also leave many tired, posing safety risks at home and in the workplace. You can prepare yourself for a return to Standard Time by taking a few extra measures: Get enough rest. The time change throws off your body’s internal clock and can impact the quality of your sleep. Never drive while overtired. The shift from drowsy to asleep at the wheel can happen faster than people think. Drive defensively. You may be feeling alert – but not everyone is. Be aware of people who drift between lanes or stop abruptly, and leave plenty of room between you and the car in front of you. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists. Approach all crosswalks and intersections slowly and check your mirrors for oncoming cyclists or pedestrians before making any turns. Prepare your vehicle for darker driving conditions. Ensure your headlights, windows, tail lights, signal lights, and windshield wipers are clean and in good working condition so you can see and be seen on the road. Keep your line of vision clear by brushing away any snow from your car or truck before driving.

BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE SCAMS Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a sophisticated scam targeting businesses and individuals who perform wire transfer payments. Given the financial and reputational stakes, every employee must understand BEC, recognize its signs, and know the steps to defend against it. What is Business Email Compromise (BEC)? BEC scams occur when fraudsters compromise or mimic legitimate business email accounts through social engineering or computer intrusion techniques to conduct unauthorized funds transfers. It’s not just about stealing money; it’s about deceiving employees into believing they are taking genuine action. Common BEC Scenarios 1. Fake Invoice Scheme: The attacker poses as a vendor and requests payments to a fraudulent account. 2. CEO Fraud: The attacker impersonates a high-ranking executive, directing employees to transfer money for a supposed confidential transaction. 3. Account Compromise: An executive’s or employee’s email account is hacked and used to request payments. 4. Data Theft: Employees are tricked into providing sensitive data, like payroll information. 5. Attorney Impersonation: Fraudsters pose as lawyers or representatives of law firms and pressure employees to move funds urgently or secretly. Recognizing Red Flags Here are signs that an email might be part of a BEC scam: 1. Unusual Requests: If an email unexpectedly asks for wire transfers or sensitive information, be wary. 2. Change in Payment Practices: Requests for changes in payment type, bank accounts, or wire transfer procedures. 3. Urgent or Secretive Language: Messages that stress urgency or secrecy, primarily from senior executives, are suspicious. 4. Mismatched Email Addresses: The displayed name might be correct, but the email could be slightly misspelled or from a different domain. 5. Poor Grammar and Spelling: Scammers might not have perfect command of the language, so look for mistakes. What to Do If You Suspect BEC 1. Do Not Respond: Do not reply to the email, click on any links, or download attachments. 2. Click on the “Phish Alert” button in Outlook: This will notify IT of a potential threat. 3. Notify management: Inform your supervisors or the appropriate team in your organization. 4. Review Transactions: Check for unauthorized transactions on any linked accounts. 5. Change Passwords: If your email might be compromised, change your password immediately. While technology can provide multiple layers of defence, the human element remains critical in identifying and preventing BEC scams. By understanding the threat, recognizing the signs, and following best practices, employees can become a vital barrier against these financially devastating attacks. WWW. C ANADACARTAGE.COM
