    They're about the biggest container haulers in Ontario. They have a city board and they also haul vans. They're supposed to be starting a loadtight division. Their trainning is incomplete and house rules are tight. City dispatch seems to be alright and outbound trailer for US as well, but inbound dispatcher has an ego the size of an elephant. Good luck dealing with that dude. He will grill you for any little thing even if you're a new driver :biggrin_2551:. They run mostly eastern sea border and it's usually a 600-800 mile run. The pay is not bad and you're home about 3 times a week which is ok for people who like to stay around the home terminal. They dont have long hauls and thats where the real money is at. Their equipment are fairly new (volvos small sleepers) and they have garages at their terminals. They are very good when it comes to safety and if you need to get them to look at your brakes theyre more than willing to do so. You normally fuel up in the yard and in case of an emergency you can fuel in the US but only on a T-check basis. They dont like giving out fuel cards for US operation. If I had to rate this carrier it would be ok as a starter company for inexperienced drivers, but as soon as you have more experience go to a bigger carrier. 7 out of 10

    Expect a piece of #### smelly used Volvo with a hole cut in the floor.

    That should tell you everything else you need to know about the company.

    I wouldn't say it if I had not of seen it with my own eyes my friend.. Follow any one of them into an ON-Route and wait untill they pull away, leaving half on India behind in the parking lot.

    Funny have pulled loads in / out of their yards as well as when it was MELBURNE prior to 1999 , walked thru their shops on a few occasions no sign of INDIA left anywhere, run a lot in their eastern seaboard TRIANGLE never see more than 1 driver( usually white Canadian ) in their VOLVOs but like others this is what I have seen with my own eyes

    His injuries were critical, but are no longer considered life-threatening, according to Peel Police.
