A Winnipeg trucking company has filed an appeal with Manitoba’s Licence Suspension Appeal Board after being shut down by the provincial government last month.
7Star Ltd. denied allegations that the company was affiliated with a separate firm that was banned earlier.
A provincial spokesperson said last week a Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure investigation found “credible evidence” to support a tip that a company was affiliated with Conquer Transport. The province did not disclose the evidence.

The crash happened at the intersection of Highway 110 and Richmond Avenue East in Brandon.
Conquer Transport was banned by the Manitoba government in 2021 for safety violations, and then resurfaced in Alberta as Conquer Transportation.
A Conquer Transportation semi-truck and driver were involved in a crash that killed a 49-year-old woman in Brandon in May. Police charged the 35-year-old truck driver with dangerous driving causing death.
Alberta revoked Conquer Transportation’s safety fitness certificate.
The Manitoba government spokesperson said last week the tip that sparked MTI’s recent investigation was received from another province.
7Star Ltd.’s safety fitness certificate was revoked in Manitoba, and its safety fitness rating was downgraded to unsatisfactory. The company’s plates were cancelled, and it is not allowed to operate regulated vehicles in Manitoba.
The province declined to comment on 7Star’s appeal. The company’s general manager reserved comment until the appeal is resolved.
