Big rigs, rough roads and tough weather make driving for forestry workers and everyone who shares the roads with them a daily challenge in British Columbia. 

Working together to make it safer for everyone is what Forestry TruckSafe does. The Forestry TruckSafe program brings workers, employers, enforcement and regulatory agencies and the public together to find solutions, talk about best practices, and share information so everyone can follow the same rules of the road.

Sharing the road and getting home safely is what it’s all about.
