Stromsten Enterprises is a family-run transportation company based in British Columbia. Since our establishment, we have worked hard to build a reputation as one of the most reliable transportation and supply chain solution companies in the region.
We're proud to have a dedicated logistics personnel, drivers and skilled administrative professionals who work seamlessly together. Guided by our experienced management team, we ensure that our clients enjoy smooth project execution and exceptional service every step of the way.
We specialize in both short haul, long haul as well as off highway hauling for oil and gas, forestry, civil construction, and mining projects. For long and short hauling of aggregates and materials, we are able to provide the various truck and trailer configurations your project requires. We pride ourselves on being able to satisfy our customers by providing the right equipment for unique applications.
Stromsten Enterprises is a family-run business and was inspired by our family's longstanding tradition in the British Columbia logging industry. Today, we proudly continue this legacy. Presently headquartered in Kamloops, British Columbia, our journey has led us far from our modest beginnings with just one truck.
Catering to projects of all sizes, we offer a range of trucking configurations. What sets us apart is not just our meticulously maintained fleet, but our experienced management team. They are the backbone of our operations, ensuring that every project is executed with the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and efficiency. While we hold dear the values of a family-founded company, we understand the exacting demands of large organizations and ensure that your projects are in safe and experienced hands.
The Stromsten team is fully committed to supporting our customers' projects—from pre-construction feasibility studies, through to start-up and operation. We believe our demonstrated commitment and our combined experience and capabilities uniquely qualify us to deliver transportation services safely, on time and within budget.
Safety is the highest priority in everything we do—we share a common goal of zero injuries and zero accidents on every project we are awarded and proudly hold an "Excellent rating" and 93% score on our CVSE carrier profile. Our staff and management lead by example, maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety. This management commitment combined with our industry leading driver-led safety programs will result in a safe project outcome.
Stromsten Enterprises creates a culture in which everyone has a voice. A committee of operational managers meet weekly with supervisors to analyze safety concerns brought forth by the drivers and develop practical, effective solutions.
Employees and subcontractors are responsible for submitting safety observations monthly to management. Observations are analyzed to identify trending data, and safety procedures are updated to mitigate identified issues.
JHAs are preemptive and detailed hazard assessments performed at the work site by drivers and supervisors. The crew identifies potential hazards and mitigation strategies for each work task assigned, and potential hazards are identified and mitigated before a trip begins.
Providing a safe working environment for those on the project is Stromsten Enterprises' moral and ethical obligation. Our safety processes protect employees, save money, help maintain schedule, enhance the work environment and benefit project owners and the communities in which we work.
We are committed to earning the trust and support of the people who live and work in and around the project area, and we understand these relationships are essential to the success of projects. Through open dialogue and interaction with the community we will ensure the public, individuals and businesses will benefit in a positive way including training, employment and subcontracting opportunities.
Aboriginal engagement is developing a broader, more inclusive and continuous process between Stromsten Enterprises and Aboriginal communities who may be impacted by resource based, industrial or commercial development. It encompasses a range of activities through the life of a project and reflects broader changes on how business is conducted. A project specific plan can be developed when a project arises, but this is generally how Stromsten Enterprises approaches engagement:
Aboriginals are a young and fast growing demographic in Canada. Collaborative recruitment processes and career planning will be set up through active engagement and consultation. It is an opportunity to and ask "How many potential employees do you have in your community and what do we need to do to ensure that there will be qualified applicants and successful employees?"
Post Secondary Scholarships and in-house training programs are some areas to examine to see what would have the most benefit for the stakeholders and the company. To encourage the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal employees, Stromsten Enterprises may participate in a range of eduction and training initiatives which could include employability skills training.
Prioritization of qualified Aboriginal contractors and suppliers for any subcontracting and vendor requirements.
