    As far as I know Bison is not going anywhere. Last year Bison bought out Britton Transport out of Grand Forks, ND. This company is looking to expand all the time and will not rest until it owns it all. Good for me and gives me job security and some very good benefits. Over the last year I have noticed that a lot of American companies are pulling our trailers, and we are pulling theirs. I see quit a few Transport America trailers in the yard lately. I think Bison is looking to move south. 95% of my runs are south. I hardly work in Canada anymore. And that's fine with me. Cause I hate running up here anyway. Leave me in the US until my days off. And they do.

    Bison can play some nasty tricks on folks. Back when they had an Ikea dedicated haul contract with some Cdn. owner operators, they decided that they would leave the Bison guys sitting at Wheeler Ridge in California, and have their back haul loads brought up by some cut rate ethic truckers. So the Bison guys see the Bison trailers heading out on the cut raters, and oh happy day, Bison then expected their guys to bring the cut-raters trailers back to Canada. You can imagine the shape some of those trailers were in. So the Cdn Bison owner operators got the chance to be pulled in because they were hauling a decrepit trailer? Nice way to treat your owner operators, Bison. Needless to say, the guys moved on-why risk your safety, livelihood and reputation because working for Bison is like waiting for someone to dump a bucket of "you know what" over your head. Wouldn't recommend Bison to my worst enemy.
