How Trustii is Evolving Workforce Compliance in Logistics

We spoke with Trustii founder JS Gaboury and CRO Megan Guerin about the shortcomings of current transportation compliance practice and how Trustii can help

In an industry governed by strict safety regulations, rising insurance costs, and relentless operational pressure, maintaining workforce compliance is a massive administrative burden. For Montreal-headquartered Trustii, solving that challenge meant fundamentally rethinking how transportation companies verify, monitor, and protect their people.

Founded in 2020 by former peace officer Jean-Simon (J.S.) Gaboury, Trustii was built to eliminate a persistent vulnerability in fleet management: the traditional “one-and-done” background check. Megan Guerin later joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer. While most carriers thoroughly screen candidates at the point of hire, an individual's status can change overnight. Through its flagship platform, Trustii Horizon, the company brings continuous, automated workforce compliance to logistics operators across North America, helping fleets ranging from 120 to over 4,000 drivers eliminate manual tracking, satisfy insurance mandates, and stay audit-ready. Here is how they are transforming workforce compliance in logistics.

Factor #1: Solving the "one-and-done" blindspot

The single biggest misconception in workforce management is that a clean pre-employment background check guarantees ongoing compliance. A static check only confirms an individual's status at one specific moment in time.

Before founding Trustii, J.S. spent 11 years as a peace officer and seven years in the Canadian Armed Forces working in information operations, followed by university studies in criminology, cyber investigation, and intelligence. That background taught him the critical importance of making decisions based on continuous, reliable information; especially when safety and public trust are on the line.

“In law enforcement and the military, you undergo deep due diligence because you're on the front lines,” J.S. explained. “When I looked at how private enterprises managed risk, I saw how archaic and fragmented everything was. In transportation, the standard practice is checking a driver’s abstract once every 12 months. That leaves a massive 365-day window where a license can lapse, a FAST card or passport can expire, or a serious offense can occur without the employer knowing.”

Continuous compliance isn’t about running redundant, costly checks; it’s about knowing which requirements apply to specific roles, establishing clear renewal schedules, and receiving instant alerts when something changes.

Factor #2: Replacing frantic audits with end-to-end automation

For many logistics operations, managing driver files is a fragmented nightmare reliant on spreadsheets, Google Drive folders, and physical filing cabinets. When auditors or insurers step through the door, compliance teams often spend months manually gathering paper files and tracking down missing records.

Bringing a decade of experience scaling tech organizations across wealth management, manufacturing, and sports recreation, Megan Guerin understands the heavy regulatory responsibility facing high-risk industries. At Trustii, she focuses on helping companies transition from disjointed manual tracking to full automation.

“Status quo compliance usually means an automated reminder goes out, followed by endless back-and-forth emails to get a updated document,” Megan said. “With Trustii Horizon, company policies are built directly into the software. The system automatically notifies the driver, fetches the required driver’s abstract with their consent, and uses AI to measure the results against the company’s specific business rules.”
Instead of just checking if a license is active, the platform evaluates risk thresholds, such as demerit point accumulation, and flags violations directly to managers for corrective action. 

“When an auditor walks in, instead of spending months digging through paper files, you can pull up a complete, audit-ready profile in seconds,” Megan added. “It changes compliance from a chaotic scramble into a documented, repeatable program that helps protect safety ratings and lower insurance premiums.”

Factor #3: Transforming monitoring into a tool for employee fairness

While continuous verification provides obvious risk mitigation for employers, it can sometimes raise concerns among employees if misconstrued as workplace surveillance. Navigating that dynamic requires a system built on clear boundaries, consent, and objective standards.
J.S. emphasizes that effective workforce monitoring relies on three core principles: relevance, proportionality, and transparency.
“Continuous compliance isn't about secretly monitoring employees or trying to catch someone doing something wrong,” J.S. noted. “In fact, it actually makes the workplace fairer. When checks are manual, organizations run the risk of arbitrary checking or decisions driven by subjective human bias. By establishing clear, automated rules that apply equally to everyone in a given role, you remove that subjectivity.”
By giving workers full visibility into the data collected, the ability to correct inaccurate government records, and a transparent process for logging corrective actions, automated compliance protects the rights of the driver while safeguarding the enterprise.

Factor #4: Accessible scaling from regional fleets to enterprise giants

 One of the greatest hurdles for transportation companies adopting new technology is software complexity and pricing. Trustii designed Horizon to be accessible across the entire spectrum of the transportation industry through a flexible, per-seat pricing model.

Whether serving a regional carrier operating 120 drivers or a large enterprise managing 4,000 rigs, Trustii provides a hands-on onboarding process that maps out existing business rules and digitizes them into the system. As the company expands its footprint from Canada into the United States, its goal is to make Trustii Horizon the standard operating environment for continuous compliance across every high-trust industry in North America.
For fleets looking to eliminate visibility gaps, the first step comes down to asking a simple question: if an auditor or insurer walked into the office today, could you identify every out-of-compliance driver in five minutes? If the answer is no, modernizing your compliance program is the fastest way to protect your bottom line.
