It's been humid lately near our head office, and coupled with dropping temperatures, we've been seeing some very foggy mornings! It's a great time to use our monthly safety tip to talk about safety in foggy conditions. Here are a few tips to stay safe in the fog! 🐢 Slow Down: Reduce your speed to give yourself more time to react to obstacles or sudden changes in traffic. 🔦 Use Low Beams: Avoid using high beams as they can reflect off the fog, further reducing visibility. Stick to low beams or fog lights. ↕ Increase Following Distance: Leave extra space between your vehicle and the one ahead to allow more time to stop if necessary. 🛣 Stay in Your Lane: Use road markings to guide your position, and avoid changing lanes unnecessarily. 📴 Avoid Distractions: Stay fully focused on the road. Avoid using your phone or engaging in anything that takes your attention away from driving. 🚚 Pull Over if Necessary: If the fog becomes too thick and driving feels unsafe, pull over at a rest stop or on the shoulder, well off the road, with your hazard lights on. #MonthlySafetyTip #SafteyFirst #BeSmart #DriverSafety #WellingtonGroupofCompanies #HealthandWellness #WGOC #SupplyChain #DedicatedService #MotorFreight #Trucking

Wanted to share an email from one our clients. Back to school roll out for one of our customers. The email below was sent to Wellington Supply Chain our division that handled the challenges. Thank you, to our team and our customer for the great comments. Hi Matt,   With the completion of the Winnipeg back to school program I wanted to take some time to recognize your efforts throughout the process.   This project was fraught with complications almost right from the start and what was supposed to be a simple hand off of some freight from our Winnipeg facility, consolidation, and final mile delivery to the schools quickly spiraled out of control when the volume quadrupled.   This forced us to pivot and bring in our Toronto facility for support which now meant quickly transferring inventory from our Winnipeg location, transferring completed orders back to Winnipeg while still receiving freight from Winnipeg, and then sort/consolidation before final delivery.   It also meant our original 3-week delivery window for 250+ schools shrank to about a week and a half.   We leaned very heavily on Wellington and yourself to help manage this entire process which you did admirably and without fail. No amount of changes or complications (including a rail strike!) seemed to faze you or your team and you were able to provide exactly what we needed right when we needed it.   The fact that we were not only able to deliver in the original window, but were almost a day ahead of schedule is a testament to your level of skill and ability in what you do!   Thank you doesn’t seem like enough given the amount of work I know you put into this but on behalf of our entire company , thank you for everything.   Examples like this are why you are always my first phone call with special projects and why we will continue to grow our partnership with Wellington. #BacktoSchool #TeamWork #Logistics Wellington Group of Companies Wellington Supply Inc

It's time for another safety tip! While the highway is not an ideal place to stop, sometimes a driver has no choice but to pull over where they are. Here are a few tips to keep you safe if you need to do this: 🚧 Find a Safe Spot if Possible: Aim to create as much distance between you and moving traffic as possible. Ideally, stop on a straight stretch of highway in a flat, wide area where you are highly visible to approaching traffic. This will help motorists move over and give you more space as early as possible. 🚧 Use Hazard Lights: Turn on your hazard lights immediately. Place reflective triangles or road flares behind your truck to alert other drivers. 🚧 Stay Inside: If it’s safe, remain in your truck with your seatbelt on. If you must exit the vehicle, move far away from the truck and traffic. 🚧 Call for Help: Contact emergency services or roadside assistance if needed, and inform your dispatch of your situation. 🚧 Re-enter Carefully: Signal early and merge back into traffic only when you have a clear gap. #MonthlySafetyTip #SafetyFirst #BeSmart #DriverSafety #WellingtonGroupofCompanies #HealthandWellness #WGOC #SupplyChain #DedicatedService #MotorFreight #Trucking

This time around, our driver of the month is relatively new to our fleet! When a driver starts out in a new role, it’s understandable to take some time to settle in and get into a groove.
