[Staff]

SURREY, B.C. -- Surrey-based trucking firm Coastal Pacific Xpress has been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada for 2007 in Canadian Business magazine.

CPx ranked 33rd out of 50 employers selected for the Best Workplaces in Canada list – published in the April 23 issue of Canadian Business magazine – and is the only trucking firm to appear on the list.

Great Place to Work Institute Canada’s selection of CPx as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada 2007 is a validation of a respectful culture its management has worked hard to build, according to co-owners Jim Mickey and Glen Parsons.

Mickey noted the high number of company employees surveyed as part of the Best Workplaces in Canada 2007 list – 98% - who described management as “honest” was a powerful endorsement of CPx’s leadership.
