(“Titanium” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:TTR) is pleased to announce that as at December 31, 2018, the Company saw its driver base increase by 14%.

“We are extremely proud of our reliable, safe and hardworking driver group,” said Ted Daniel, CEO of Titanium. “While the industry continues to experience high turnover, Titanium continues to attract and retain the best drivers in the industry. We have maintained our leadership position with attractive pay packages and a one of a kind share purchase plan to ensure the highest level of job satisfaction because we understand drivers have to make a choice.”
Mr. Daniel concluded, “Titanium continues to be a carrier of choice for drivers. This enables us to deliver premium customer service across our business. As a result, we continue to see significant opportunity for strong organic growth in the Trucking segment into 2019.”
