The Challenge
Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd., a moving service company in Oshawa, Canada, faced several challenges. The company needed to identify and meet performance standards to ensure optimal service delivery. They also wanted to maximize fleet truck utilization to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Additionally, the company aimed to reduce unsafe driving behavior in the area’s heavy traffic, which posed risks to drivers and could potentially lead to accidents or damage to vehicles.

Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd. is a moving service company based in Oshawa, Canada. Founded in 1975, the company has decades of experience in the industry, making it one of the oldest organizations in Canada. It has been around 20 years longer than the typical Canadian organization and 18 years longer than the average moving service company. Courtice Auto Wreckers Ltd. is also among the top fleets of 2016 and Q4 2016 for Azuga’s Safe Fleet Awards, demonstrating its commitment to safety and efficiency in its operations.
