The requirements for transportation compliance as it relates to Alberta Safety Fitness Certificates (SFC) recently changed. Prior to March of 2019, commercial truck drivers only needed to apply for an SFC once, as the certification was continuous and required no upkeep. This is no longer the case.

It’s important for Alberta truck drivers and transport carriers to be aware of the new expiration process, as many certificates are now up for renewal and failure to adhere to the updated government requirements could result in serious implications for transportation companies

When you look at commercial vehicles on our roadways, you’ll see that many of them are equipped with some sort of Wheel Fastener Indicator device. There’s a lot of competition in the market of devices advertised at either keeping wheel fasteners secure or alerting drivers of their movement. There’s an inherent problem with these products though: complacency!

We’ve been hard at work finding a new way to help carriers ensure they are compliant with the National Safety Code while reducing administrative time and costs.
