Challenger Celebrates 40 Years

2010 – Current

    Challenger Celebrates 40 Years – Forty years ago, Challenger started with only one truck. In 2015 the fleet has grown to 1500! Today we stand as one of Canada’s largest privately held fleets, with capabilities to move freight all over the world. ‪‬‬‬
    Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) Certification – After working closely with the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA), we become one of the first carriers to complete our ACI testing and are ACI certified. The ACI program provides CBSA officers with pre-arrival cargo information (emanifest) so they are able to identify health, safety and security threats related to commercial goods before their arrival into Canada. Although the CBSA has mandated that all carriers be compliant by November 1, 2012, Challenger has continued its leadership practices by becoming an early adapter of the ACI program.

LCV

    Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) – We continue to develop and expand our LCV lanes by adding density and obtaining permits for new routes. Having completed a pilot with the Ontario Ministry of Transport and Revenue Canada, we identified a site at Canada Customs in Fort Erie as a viable solution for staging LCV trailers into the US. In Western Canada we have also dramatically increased our ability to utilize LCVs by certifying over 60 drivers with the appropriate credentials and sourcing shipments which are more LCV compatible.
