Home Hardware Recognized as Top Fleet Employer for the Ninth Consecutive Year



ST. JACOBS, ONTARIO – March 31, 2022 — Home Hardware Stores Limited is pleased to announce it has been named a Top Fleet Employer by Trucking HR Canada for the ninth consecutive year, with Distinction status for the fifth consecutive year. 

Top Fleet Employers is a national program that honours the best trucking and logistics industry workplaces in Canada.
“Home Hardware has built a strong reputation as a top employer in the trucking and logistics industry, and we are thrilled to be recognized by Trucking HR Canada for the ninth consecutive year,” said Jason Libralesso, Director of Transportation, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “With our top of class road safety records, positive workplace culture, competitive compensation, and Team Member perks, we are proud to be a destination employer for skilled drivers.” 

The national home improvement retailer has approximately 150 tractors and 600 trailers travelling 20 million kilometers per year. Being recognized by Trucking HR Canada once again is a testament to Home Hardware's ongoing commitment to going the extra mile for its Team Members and Dealer-Owners. Home Hardware’s recruitment and retention programs include stringent hiring criteria, extensive onboarding programs, and flexible scheduling. 
“Our private fleet is a strategic strength that allows us to provide our close to 1,100 Dealer-owned stores with the service they expect and depend on,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “Our drivers play a critical role in ensuring we have a strong and reliable distribution network that meets the needs of our customers and communities across the country.”

Top Fleet Employers are evaluated on topics such as recruitment and retention practices, workplace culture, compensation, training and skills development, and innovative HR practices. Distinction status is awarded to employers who have been recognized in the program for a minimum of five years. 

The Top Fleet Employer standards are validated by trucking industry experts and are reviewed annually to ensure an accurate reflection of human resource issues, trends, and today’s working environments. 

Home Hardware will receive the award at Trucking HR Canada’s annual awards gala in the fall.
