When newcomers look for opportunity, community, and stability in Canada, Big Freight Systems Inc. in Steinbach, Manitoba, checks all the boxes.
As a leading North American transportation and logistics company, Big Freight is more than just a trusted name in freight management—it’s also a strong supporter of newcomer integration and rural workforce development.
Supporting Newcomers Through Jobs and Beyond
At Big Freight, supporting newcomers means more than just offering a job. It’s about creating pathways for success, including:
- Industry-specific training and onboarding to help new employees thrive in Canada’s transportation sector
- Culturally inclusive workplace practices that make every employee feel welcomed and respected
- Long-term career development in a company that values internal growth and promotion
Many of Big Freight’s team members started their Canadian journey with the company—and stayed because of the strong sense of community, stability, and purpose they found.
Why Steinbach? A Rural Community That Welcomes Newcomers
Steinbach, Manitoba, isn’t just a picturesque Prairie town—it’s also part of the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP), a program that helps newcomers settle into smaller communities across Canada.
Big Freight plays a key role in this effort. By partnering with RCIP and local organizations, they make it easier for newcomers to find employment, access support services, and build long-term careers in a growing industry.
