Canadian good and bad trucking companies

I have been on the road for 20 years. There were good companies back in the early 90's. But then the sons took over the business and most of them go bad. The sons with the "golden spoon" do not care about the people who take care of them. Just the profit nothing else matter. Sad but this is the reality today. No more good companies.

 

freespirit: In business it is often said that the first generation works hard and builds a nice small business. The 2nd generation takes it a step further and the business becomes larger and better. The 3rd generation spends all the money and before long the place is bankrupt. Happens all the time.

 

freespirit- just so happens that I love driving in the mountains......that's why I became a mountain instructor!!!!


seriously, tho...don't really care where down south....as long as the pay (and a little respect) is there....and lemme get home once in a while....

 

My buddy works for sigma freight inc out of BC. flatbeds going to us. They haul out of Alberta to Texas oil stuff..and what not..He says it is a very good fit for him.dispatch is good and not left to wait long pay is good too. thinking switchin..

 

roadroad....are they out of Abby? If so, I'd be interested in going that route.....Waylon is taking their sweet time getting back to me...

 

i think so, but not sure, but they run a lot from AB .. check their site.. sigmafreight.ca for the phones etc. .. i will ask my buddy cuz i have to call myself or check it out myself

 

Has anyone heard or had experience with wilson truck lines out of toronto? Im thinking of putting a truck on there because of the .43 fuel cap. not sure how many miles i will actually get a week.

 

Waylon sold out to ATS (Anderson Trucking service) of st. Cloud, MN. Phone Waylon in Calmar and ask to speak to Dave Winacka.

 

I was all set to sign on with Sigma last winter. I was more than impressed when I spoke with the woman that runs the outfit. She actually considers her drivers as people not trucks, imagine that.
I only backed out after I was informed a nine page US (FMCSA) medical was required. It's got to be fifteen years since that was actually required. I will share that information wit a secure facility like motor vehicle dept., Alberta healthcare, etc. But the idea of it sitting in a file at some trucking company, to be shared with who knows who, really bothered me. I backed out on principle, but still wouldn't hesitate to recommend them if that's not a problem for you. Rather I should say I recommend having a chat with them, you will likely be impressed too.

 

anyone know about LB TAYLOR trucking in Moosomin, SK
