From the beginning, NRT's mandate has been to select, train and employ northern people. Over the past twenty years, NRT has trained drivers, administrative staff and mechanics and retained many good people. NRT has also trained people who have gone on to other careers and professional development.

Throughout the years, NRT drivers have maintained an excellence and safety record that is unsurpassed in the industry.

A key ingredient in the make-up of NRT has always been a caring, nurturing environment in which the potential of northern young people can develop and grow. Besides being trained as competent operators, students have been schooled in life skills and financial management. A sizeable fleet of northern owner-operators, independent business people, speaks to the success of NRT's training program.
