Successfully navigating the constantly changing logistics landscape requires not only knowledge and experience but also the ability to adapt quickly. For 75 years, Universal Logistics has been a leader in this dynamic industry, showcasing our dedication to delivering high-quality services while adjusting to industry shifts. Here’s how we’ve upheld our position as a top logistics provider.
The Importance of Continuous Training and Education
Universal Logistics places a strong emphasis on industry knowledge and prioritizes continuous training and education to keep our team well-prepared. Our training programs include those offered by the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFFA) and the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers (CSCB), providing insights into freight forwarding and customs duties.
Our senior team members mentor new employees, sharing their experience. Mandatory training, including recurring dangerous goods certification and annual training for CSCB designations, enhances our team’s expertise.
The logistics industry is subject to a complex set of regulations, both domestically and internationally. Adhering to these regulations is crucial to avoid disruptions and penalties. We continuously update our knowledge base to stay abreast of evolving requirements. Our proactive approach ensures that our clients are always prepared for regulatory changes.

Understanding the operational requirements and challenges of these partners is crucial. At Universal Logistics, we specialize in managing these relationships and are always prepared for unexpected situations such as congestion, equipment shortages, labour disputes, and weather-related disruptions.
Our proactive and solution-oriented approach to handling these challenges sets us apart as a logistics provider. We maintain close communication with our clients and provide timely insights and suggestions to navigate these complexities.
