Friends in the Industry - Whenever there comes an opportunity to stand up for what is right, I believe we need to take it, especially if it helps protect others. Protection in regard to safety, but also in how we plan projects to help ensure they are a success. Far too often in the transportation industry, we are expected to face situations where there feels like no protection is in place, and no one is advocating to fix the issues at hand. This is why I am excited about today’s episode, as I have a conversation with John Ashton, executive director with the Alberta Sand & Gravel Association, and Aurora Beekman, operations manager AMI Rockchain. Throughout our conversation, you will see how the Alberta Sand & Gravel Association is advocating for those in our industry, and I strongly recommend getting connected with them, especially if you are looking to haul aggregate in Alberta.
