Added Systems
Our trucks are equipped with aerodynamic components that we have chosen to add, including the low idle device, intelligent speed limiter, collision prevention systems, anti-rollover systems, and cooling prevention systems.
A reliable and powerful
refrigeration system
Over the past years, DFS did everything possible to maximize the effectiveness of its refrigeration system; making it one of the most efficient and least energy-consuming of the industry.
High level insulation
The refractory painting applied on the roof of our trucks favorises a high level insulation, enhancing the freshness and quality of goods – an added value in the food industry.
Real time temperature
reading
Developed communication technologies, allow our logistics team to be able to remotely record the interior temperature of trailers; assuring an increased quality control with regard to the transport of perishable products.
Logistical efficiencyLynx System
Our refrigeration systems are equipped with the Lynx system, which enhances performance and logistics.
The perfect colour
In order to facilitate the refrigeration and air conditioning of our trailor-tractors and achieve significant fuel economy of the air conditioning system, DFS has modified the colour of its transport units.
Reduction of the ambient temperature
Light refractory painting
Fail-proof
logistics tools
Conscious that the world of business is moving at a frenetic pace, DFS uses leading-edge technologies to offer a customer service that meets the highest criteria.
DFS Tracker application
Because it is always reassuring for our customers to be able to locate their loads at any hour of the day or night, Danfreight Systems has created the DFS Tracker application. With a single click, this state-of-the-art technological tool allows its user to follow in real time, the progress of its shipment.
GPS reading and tracking
Shipment tracking by GPS eases the work of our drivers by linking them at all times with our department of operations. Our trucks being all equipped with tablet computers, the collection and exchange of data (location, temperature, itinerary) can be done instantly and accurately.
Fuel Routing
It has become essential for our company to establish a fuel route for each transport movement to ensure fuel savings and efficiency in terms of time and mileage. Creating these routes also allows us to centralize fuel purchases with a single supplier, which results in significant savings on expenses.
Local Purchase and Repair
We prioritize purchasing parts from suppliers located near our terminal. In case of a breakdown on the road, we call on our partners located in the same region as the truck to minimize travel.

• Automatic weighing
• Preventive maintenance through telematics
A cutting-edge
technology workshop
Based on advanced technologies which brings perfectly together productivity, safety and responsibility, at Danfreight Systems, our mechanical workshop impresses in various ways.
Part
dispenser
First developed for the aviation world, the automated engine part dispenser ensures accurate inventory control, creating order forms for the replacement of missing parts. This procedure significantly increases the effectiveness and speed of our repair and maintenance service.
Reduction of our
ecological footprint
Our wide mechanical workshop is a high-tech, ecological and safe place equipped with a material and accessory dispenser for the employees. It allows our skilled mechanics to better struggle against waste.
Telematics
The telematics system allows us to plan preventive maintenance , thus avoiding worsening equipment problems. The data provided by the system helps us better manage equipment failures and, consequently, our inventories.
Ecological
washing area
Working in the food sector, using 100% biodegradable soap has become for us since 2001 non-negotiable. Involving Swedish technologies, our washing areas assist the recycling of 80% of water used, mud, soap and oil – avoiding releases into the environment.

Training
The cornerstone of our company is undoubtedly our dedication to encouraging students (new drivers) graduating from heavy vehicle driving training centers. Our experienced trainers as well as our accompanying drivers provide trainees with exceptional support.
Security and compliance
department
Prevention, drug and alcohol screening, licence validity, compliance with laws in both Canada and the United States, weight control of our cargo, mechanical and accident monitoring – areall aspects that require specific and rigorous attention. We are also certified by DRIVERCHECK to perform drug and alcohol screening tests – both internally and externally.
Training
Our highly qualified recruiter-trainer team reviews applications, carries out road assessments and collects the documents required for hiring. In addition, this team specializes in international recruitment. In close collaboration with human resources, our international hiring is managed entirely in-house.
