Recognition Programs
Bison recognizes the dedication, hard work and skills of our professional Drivers and affiliated Owner-Operators. We reward people well for their contributions, which is another reason why Bison Transport is one of the Top Fleets to Drive For, a Platinum Member of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies, one of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures and recognized as North America’s Safest Fleet.
Our Recognition Programs Include:
Safe Driving Reward Program provides substantial financial incentives for safe driving - the higher the level, the more the reward! Our top level professional Driver is earning 15% more under this program. Rewards are paid quarterly.
Safe Driver Awards recognizes consecutive safe driving milestones, starting at 125,000 miles for mileage based Drivers or 1 year for hourly based Drivers. Professional Drivers receive cut crystal awards, certificates, lapel pins and tractor decals at each safe driving level. Professional Drivers achieving 1 million miles (8 years) are presented a 10-kt gold ring and a diamond is added to the ring for each additional 250,000 miles or 2 years consecutive safe driving.
Years of Service Awards recognize a professional Driver's length of service with Bison. Awards start at 5 years and continue in 5 year increments. Professional Drivers are given a choice of reward at each milestone.
Corporate Awards include the Driving Change, S.T.A.R, Helping Hands Awards and the prestigious Professional Driver of the Year award (Company and Owner-Operator). These peer nominated awards recognize individuals in the areas such as service, innovation, and volunteerism.
Driver of the Month promotes outstanding performance and exceptional accomplishments. A professional Driver is selected in each region. Professional Drivers receive a $250 VISA or Mastercard gift card. Drivers of the Month become eligible for Professional Driver of the Year or are nominated for industry sponsored recognition programs.
Charging Ahead is our employee recognition program. Employees and customers can nominate a Bison employee for an exceptional display of our core values: Safety, Spirit, Service, Sustainability and Success.
