Named after a defect. Built to find yours first.
A bad axle can put a truck out of service. A bad driver file or a missing log can do the same to a whole carrier.
A Canadian consultancy for trucking safety, compliance and registrations.
Bad Axle Safety & Co. is based in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario. We work with Ontario carriers running across Canada and into the United States.
In a small or mid-size fleet, compliance work usually sits on top of everything else the owner or dispatcher already does. We take that work off their desk: we review the records, explain what the rules actually require, and help put a system in place that the office can keep up.
What you can expect from us.
Straight answers
If a file is out of compliance, we say so and explain what it takes to fix it. We never promise an audit result.
Your records, not templates
Every review is built on your actual files, logs and abstracts, so the advice fits your operation.
Both rulebooks
Ontario, federal Canadian and U.S. requirements are checked together for fleets that cross borders.
Confidential by default
Driver records contain personal information. We handle them under Canadian privacy law and sign an NDA on request.
