Pauline Wiebe Peters – MTA President

April 15, 2024 By Thomas McKee

We are thrilled to announce that our very own Vice President of Finance and Administration, Pauline Wiebe Peters, has been officially sworn in as the President of the Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA)!

Pauline’s appointment is historic, as she is only the second female to serve as President in the MTA’s 90-year history. Her dedication, leadership, and passion for the trucking industry make her the perfect choice for this prestigious role. She will serve as MTA President for a two year term.

Pauline was officially sworn in as President at the MTA Annual General Meeting on Friday, April 12, 2024, at the iconic Fort Garry Hotel.

We are confident that under her guidance, the MTA will continue to thrive and represent the interests of the trucking community in Manitoba.

Congratulations, Pauline!

Top Fleet Employer

Top Fleet Employer of Distinction

April 13, 2024 By Thomas McKee

We are pleased to announce that Payne Transportation has once again been named a Trucking HR Canada Top Fleet Employer (TFE).

The Top Fleet Employers program is a national initiative that recognizes fleets that have HR policies and practices that meet the highest standards within the industry. It is not a competition, but a rigorous review process where applicants are evaluated based on multiple criteria. Fleets are assessed in these areas: skills development, workplace culture, employee engagement, recruitment practices, compensation, sustainability and innovative HR policies. Employees also play a role in providing feedback about their workplaces.

Top Fleet Employers meet THRC’s HR standards of excellence and are leaders in showcasing this industry as a great place to work. Employers who have been honored with a spot in the program’s ranks for a minimum of five and ten years are awarded, Top Fleet Employer of Distinction status.

We recognize that being a Top Fleet Employer is truly a group effort from our leadership to our dedicated team of drivers, mechanics, operations and admin staff and we are incredibly proud to have achieved this honor for 8 consecutive years!
