SCL Canada Joins Truck For Change Network

The Supply Chain & Logistics Association Canada has announced its endorsement of Trucks For Change Network, a nonprofit organization helping trucking and logistics companies to support charities with donated and preferred-cost services across Canada.

Trucks For Change Network, launched in 2011 with the backing of the Ontario Trucking Association and a group of member carriers, uses real-time freight-matching and donation management technology to connect its membersโ€™ available truck space with the needs of charitable organizations such as Food Banks Canada, Habitat For Humanity Canada, and others. Its growing membership includes many of the countryโ€™s leading highway logistics firms.ย  SCLโ€™s partnership agreement will include reciprocal promotional activities, as well as endorsing program participation among its own membership of leading Canadian supply chain professionals and firms.

โ€œSCL is a leading voice for supply chain professionals across Canada, and its endorsement is an important step for us,โ€ said Pete Dalmazzi, president and founder of Trucks For Change Network. โ€œDirecting supply chain capacity to charitable endeavors not only supports the great work being done for those less fortunate, but also contributes to a green and sustainable environment.ย  In addition to reducing the industryโ€™s carbon footprint associated with empty miles, we often make viable the distribution of charity donations which would otherwise be destined for landfill sites.ย  All of this is consistent with SCLโ€™s mission, and weโ€™re thrilled to invite its members to join us.โ€

โ€œThe innovative work that Trucks For Change Network is doing is consistent with SCLโ€™s desire to promote the role of the supply chain professional in industry as well as in our communities,โ€ said Al Norrie, SCL Chairperson. โ€œWe look forward to our partnership, and our members will look forward to working with them to make a positive difference.โ€
