All ONE For Freight team members are dedicated to the continuing objective of reducing risk of illness and are taking all necessary precautions to minimize the spreading of the virus while still servicing our valued Clients and partners. Effective as of Monday March 16th, 2020 ONE For Freight will be restricting certain business activities until further notice. The following measures have been implemented in order to safeguard the health and safety of all team members and the general public and to restrict the flow of traffic in the facility to reduce the chance of transmission of COVID-19: COVID-19 PREVENTION MEASURES All travel not related to the operation of our fleet has been suspended until further notice Accessibility to the Milton Facility has been limited and the following measures have been implemented to reduce spread of illness internally and externally: Modified internal staffing requirements and schedules.

It is mandatory for any employee or independent contractor of ONE For Freight who has experienced symptoms, has been tested for COVID-19, been exposed to an individual positive for COVID-19, and/or travelled on an airplane to complete a 14-day isolation period. Please note that as of Monday March 16th, 2020 Canada has placed travel restrictions on non-permanent residents coming into Canada and has imposed additional measures to ensure travelers returning to Canada are not symptomatic or positive for COVID-19, including the requirement to self-isolate upon returning Canada. Currently, these restrictions do not apply to cross-border commerce or trade, and our fleet continues to operate at full capacity with minimal delays. As of the date of this notice, tractor-trailer commercial drivers are exempt from the self-isolation requirements upon returning to Canada as they are considered personnel of an ‘essential service.’ During this time of uncertainty, ONE For Freight will continue to monitor defined geographical ‘hot spots’ and will adhere to the latest advisements from our municipal, provincial and federal governments, its agencies, and all regulatory bodies for the North American Transportation Industry. Please note that while these restrictions will remain in effect until further notice, our proactive approach ensures that we are fully equipped to maintain operations with minimal disruption even in the event of a complete facility closure. Moreover, ONE For Freight is acutely aware of the Hours of Service exemptions that have been put into effect in the USA and Canada. As of March 26th, 2020, ONE For Freight will not be applying for these exemptions and we will continue to operate under the regular Hours of Service Regulations in both the USA and Canada.
