STA Highlights & Achievements

Trucking Industry Safety

The STA played a prominent role in SGI’s new NSC process for new carriers in Saskatchewan acting as consultants and providing industry insight. In April 2019, SGI implemented the Carrier Safety Fitness (SFC) application to identify and regulate unsafe carriers that avoid safety compliance, putting other road users at risk. This was a win for safety and another step to ensure #AllRoadsLeadToSafety.

Certificate of Recognition for the Trucking Industry (COR)

Your COR designation is step one to creating a culture of safety and contributing to making Saskatchewan highways the safest highways in Canada. This is a first of its kind offering for trucking companies in Saskatchewan falling under the T42 rate code.

Mandatory Entry Level Training (MELT)

The STA has been essential in working with SGI to ensure the smooth delivery of the new standardized curriculum for truck drivers to obtain their Class 1A license in Saskatchewan. Implemented March 2019—the STA felt the initial wave of criticism towards the program and effectively were able to address these concerns with SGI via the formation of an SGI MELT Committee, consisting of professional driving schools, carrier representatives, industry safety professionals and of course, the STA.

Saskatchewan Rest Stops

The STA was instrumental in the reversal of closure of key stopping areas along Saskatchewan highways. The STA has formed a committee with Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and SGI to address the shortage of safe stopping areas for commercial vehicles.

Key Industry Relationships

The STA has worked diligently to form effective working relationships with relevant Government Ministries and Industry entities. The STA works with: Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, Ministry of Immigration and Career Training and Labour Market Services, Ministry of Advanced Education, Ministry of Trade and Export Development, Saskatchewan Business Council, the Canadian Trucking Alliance and so much more. As a Saskatchewan based Carrier this is your opportunity to help the STA strengthen these relationships and collectively work together to shape policy.
