Nominated in the categories of community service, innovation, and philanthropy, HyLife’s goal is to live their mission: take care of their 4,500-plus employees, take care of their customers, and take care of their communities. Some of the initiatives undertaken at HyLife include one and two million safe miles clubs, volunteer of the year, National Trucking Week efforts to support the entire industry, the Local Heroes campaign, and HyLife Fun Days, which has resulted in more than $1.7 million raised for local charities. HyLife is also a proud participant in the Agricultural Clean Technology Program.

Eight new members were inducted into the Pioneer’s Club, a group whose members are leaders of Manitoba’s trucking industry who have been continually employed in the trucking business for at least twenty-five years and have made positive contributions to industry during that time.
