Been dealing with them at least 15 years. They still operate from a small office in a shopping mall in Candiac QC.

Always great payers. They used to make a killing with raw cotton coming from the south back to the textile mills in Quebec and around the Cornwall area.

Lots of old money there if the owner has not sold out>

They called on a posting of mine do they have trucks or are they strictly a broker?
 
I've seen them on rare occasion on the road. Have seen their name on my freight maybe a few times over the years. Their safer shows they have 4 trucks and they have two authorities -- one as broker, one as carrier.

I've never really heard anything bad about them over the years.
 
They were a 3PL for donkeys ages.

They approached us last year wanting run round trips down in Va. paper loads in both directions. They could not always find Carriers, therefore decided to put on their own trucks.

Their office is about 200 yards from the Perkins Paper/Cascades plant in Candiac Qc.
 
We did work with them in 2009 and 2011.Total of 6 shipments. Average day to pay 63 after few calls.
 
Double broker

Wow!

Found it funny that they decided to buy trucks in this bad economy.

I will look them up on the registre Des Entreprises du Quebec. I would not be surprised if the old owners sold and this is someone different running the company now.
 
Anything current with this company with respect to service? Load pending.
thanks in advance.

As a freight forwarder we use Contrafond Inc. several time a week for loads out of Laval to the US. Awesome service, easy to deal with, and fair pricing.
