Today we are joined by Scott Oldfield. He is the Vice President and COO of Tri-Shield Consulting, a team of retired police Commercial Vehicle Inspectors that are committed to road safety and provide a range of services including commercial vehicle training.

This is our longest one person interview episode and it's a good one. This is all about road safety, circle checks, equipment loading, and everything you would want to know about being on the road in your business. Though this episode is quite specific to Ontario including CVORs; yellow stickers; and license classes, there is about 75% of this interview that can be applied throughout North America with some minor differences that you can look into for yourself considering your region. But this is a great episode to come back to or have crew members listen in on and take notes.

There are a lot of links that are discussed especially at the end and these are mostly specific to Ontario business owners. You can find all of these links in the show notes of this episode. If you click on the show in your podcast app you can find it all there. And make sure that you go check out Tri-Shield Consulting on their website or at Landscape Ontario Congress this year at booth 129.

Sponsor:

I want to take a break from today’s episode to thank our sponsor Alliance Gator. They are the manufacturers of a wide variety of hardscape installation materials including polymeric sands and other jointing compounds, cleaners, sealers, binders, concrete and plastic edge restraints, and Gator Base. Their wide range of jointing compounds suit any application. Cleaners and sealers help to keep hardscapes looking pristine. And their Gator Base product helps to reduce the amount of labor involved in preparing the base of a project. They continue to innovate and introduce new products into the market that add more tools in our toolbox including Xtreme Edge, a concrete edge restraint, and Nitro, a permeable jointing compound. You can find out more about these products at alliancegator.com found in the show notes of this episode.
