Inside Track: Who’s Behind the Wheel? Honouring the People Driving Our IndustryInside Track:

In logistics as in many other industries, 2025 has so far marked by uncertainty — threats of tariffs and of market volatility and of prolonged global conflict. Throughout our 44 years, Canaan has navigated times of opportunity and of challenge, but one thing has always proved to be the key to success: putting people first. The term “Business to business” can be a bit misleading — even in something as complex as the supply chain, the most important interactions are always person to person.

This year we hope to shine a spotlight on the people who are essential to the logistics industry. Today, we’re starting with the trucking community. Truck drivers are the true heroes of global trade, but too often they are either ignored or blamed for things largely outside of their control, such as traffic congestion. 

In the video below, we’re giving you a glimpse into the story of Gary, one of the most highly rated drivers on our team and someone whose friendly smile brings joy to each of his daily interactions, whether that’s in our office or at a toll booth or when completing a delivery.

At Canaan, we recognize and appreciate the dedication of drivers like Gary. They are the backbone of logistics, providing vital support for not just our company but the entire economy. Without them, supply chains stall, shelves go empty, and businesses grind to a halt. Their commitment often goes unnoticed, but it shouldn’t.

So here’s to Gary and all the truckers out there—navigating long hours, unpredictable conditions, and demanding schedules to keep our world running!
