Client Testimonials
Anthony M Smith, UNFI
“Thanks for everything! 2019 has been a year to remember! It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to engage in a working relationship with RSS.
UNFI was at the forefront of what was going to become not only a business hurdle but a national pandemic. I was faced with multiple union strikes and staffing shortages around the United States. Upon notification of my first strike (walk-out) RSS was able to provide within 48-72 hours all the support necessary to get the distribution center up and running and on-time to customers. The customers stated that the replacement workers were better than the regular workforce.
I can not tell you how much I appreciated the support you and your team was able to provide when we were faced with a national emergency.”
Regional Vice President, U.S. largest food distributor
“I wanted to reach out and thank you for the support provided. This was new territory for our management team. When it came to contingency drivers, your team stepped up in a very significant way during a very troubling time for our distribution center. Not only were you there for us, but you proved to be extremely fast and flexible with filling our needs in under 48 hours notice. Your onsite management of your driver contingency team was the exact partnership we needed to ensure we could focus our time on our customers.”

My delivery deadlines are paramount. Are RSS drivers reliable?
RSS drivers are experienced and reliable and always ready to get your shipments where they need to go on time.
Does RSS have CDL drivers?
Yes, we have an extensive network of qualified CDL drivers. We perform background checks and check all DMV reports.
How do I find qualified temporary CDL and non-CDL drivers?

RSS is an experienced, well-respected temporary staffing agency with a diverse pool of drivers in Canada ready to go. And RSS takes care of all the HR and administrative paperwork for each driver they place.
Why is it hard to recruit truck drivers?
It is hard to recruit truck drivers because of the current driver shortage. Qualified professional truck drivers are leaving the industry due to retirement or searching for jobs that offer better pay, benefits, and working conditions. The pandemic also slowed down training for licenses, so there are fewer new commercial license holders ready for work than typical. To try and diminish some of the shortage, experts suggest that more aggressive recruiting efforts focused on women and younger adults be done to encourage them to consider trucking a viable option for employment.
What are the requirements for CDL Drivers in Canada?
Commercial drivers must have a standard driver’s license, a clean driving background, and a criminal record check. There are different types of commercial licenses depending on the type of vehicle driven. All provinces require drivers to pass a medical examination, signed off by a doctor, to ensure that they do not have any conditions that may render them unsafe to drive. Depending on the province, the minimum age to drive a commercial vehicle in Canada is between 18 and 19. To be a bus driver, depending on the province, you must be between 19 and 21.
What is Transport Canada?
According to its website, Transport Canada is a federal institution responsible for transportation policies and programs that promote safe, secure, efficient, and environmentally responsible transportation.
Who regulates trucking in Canada?
Transport Canada’s National Safety Code governs all regulations for commercial drivers in Canada. The National Safety Code encompasses national standards supported by provincial regulations to increase the safety of truck and bus carriers. It pertains to commercial vehicles licensed with a gross vehicle over 5,000 kg, vehicles operating under the Passenger Transportation Act, and commercial vehicles with a seating capacity of 10 or more passengers plus the driver.
