CTL/Corona

It is hard to trust someone who in one post says you have worked with Corona multiple times, then in another post you confirm you are Corona, that is a little dishonest don't you think? Upon further investigation I was wrong saying you have been in business since 2013. Seems like you have been in and out of business since then with various dissolutions and licencing revokation. Can you tell me who Oleh Robulets is? Looks like he was a director and was charged with a crime, and received a $40,000 fine. Are you suggesting that information is false also? Was anyone else charged? You seem to suggest that was not the case.
You are also double brokering shipments. So you are saying the cigarette matter is entirely over with?
 
When I look up corporations through Corporations Canada, they do not publicly provide owners’ names the way people are implying online.

You already have copies of our corporation documents, so it’s not that we are hiding anything. What is concerning is strangers hiding behind aliases and fake profiles while spreading private information and accusations online.

That is honestly a little disturbing. If someone has a legitimate concern, then address it professionally and openly instead of anonymously attacking people and businesses on the internet.

There are real people, drivers, employees, and families behind these companies. how did you obtain our corp docs?
It seems you are new to the business. Why do you seem so concerned that I was able to obtain public information? Why did you pretend that you were using CTL then only to say that you are CTL? What is your name since you are concerned about aliases? Neither I or the site is breaking any laws. Can you respond to who is Oleh Robulets and was there any other people involved with being charged criminally?
 
I would like to make this statement to everyone in this chat and answer the questions being raised so we can put this to bed and continue focusing on our business and customers.

We are CTL Group / Corona Transport Ltd. “CTL” is simply an abbreviation of Corona Transport Ltd. We are not operating under “two different names” as some people are trying to suggest.

We have both a physical location and mailing address, and anyone is welcome to visit us professionally:

55 Administration Road, Unit 28
Concord, Ontario

We have been operating for approximately 13 years throughout Canada and the USA. At one point, we voluntarily terminated our US MC authority because our customer base no longer required US freight services at that time. Our primary operation was TRI-temp reefer work.

Approximately 8 months ago, we restarted our US operations focusing mainly on:

  • Canada → Eastern Seaboard LTL
  • USA → Canada FTL returns
We also operate a warehouse in Concord, Ontario.

Our regular lanes include:

  • New Jersey
  • Pennsylvania
  • Massachusetts
  • Maryland
  • Connecticut
  • New York
Current fleet:

  • 7 sleeper units
  • 4 day cabs
  • 17 dry vans

Regarding the tobacco issue being discussed online — yes, the incident did happen. Unfortunately, in situations like this, very few people care to understand the carrier’s side of the story.

No trucking company opens and inspects every sealed box or pallet loaded by a shipper. Carriers rely on shipping documents and declarations provided by the shipper, which is standard practice throughout the transportation industry.

It was an unfortunate situation. We dealt with the matter, paid the required fines, and moved forward with our business. At the end of the day, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

People online often jump to conclusions without understanding how trucking operations actually work. Misdeclared freight and shipper-related issues unfortunately happen in this industry and do not automatically make a carrier a criminal organization.

Despite the negativity, rumors, and anonymous accusations being spread online, we have continued operating professionally, servicing our customers, and growing our business.
 
I’m not concerned that you obtained public information. Public information is public information. The concern is when private details, assumptions, accusations, and personal information are being spread online in a misleading or malicious way by anonymous accounts.

Nobody “pretended” to be using CTL. CTL has always stood for Corona Transport Ltd. It’s a common abbreviation used in business and transportation. Many companies operate using shortened trade names or abbreviations.

As for aliases — the difference is that our company is public, registered, has a physical address, active operations, employees, trucks, customers, and a warehouse. Meanwhile, many people making accusations online hide behind usernames and anonymous profiles while demanding personal information from others.

Regarding individuals and legal matters, I’m not going to publicly discuss private details about specific people or speculate on matters that have already been addressed legally and operationally. The incident in question was dealt with through the proper legal and regulatory channels years ago.

At the end of the day, we are still operating, servicing customers across Canada and the USA, and standing behind our business openly and professionally.

I don't want to know anything further. I have placed you on my permanent DNU LIST. You shouldnt come onto this site lying to everyone. One minute you say you are not Corona and have used them/they have good service, then saying you are. You seem very dishonest.

That is your choice and I respect it.

There was no intention to mislead anyone. I originally responded as someone familiar with the company and later clarified the connection directly to avoid further confusion and answer questions openly.

At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We will continue focusing on operating our business, servicing customers, and moving forward professionally.

I have nothing further to add on the matter.
 
Again Mr. Robulets I presume? All I did was post your articles online, my comments were neither positive nor negative, simply factual. When I say criminal, I mean something that is against the law. For instance it is against the law to deliver cigarettes in the manner that you did. Given the fact that 2, not 1 persons were found guilty, I find it hard to believe that someone was not involved. I'll go one step further, in my very quick review of you, that you are lying to us when you say the matter was resolved. The fact is that you received a $40,000 fine. I think you forgot to tell us all that you let a poor driver who was probably innocent sit with a $1,226,055.60 fine and he has come after you. Did you forget the part that you were sued 2 weeks ago for this amount by the driver?

Which driver would want to work for you? May be time to stop with all your lies. I haven't done anything wrong, and don't really want to spend any more time on this. If you continue to threaten me or challenge my comments, I'll try to respond to you.

You are free to post publicly available articles — that is not the issue. The issue is the assumptions, accusations, and conclusions you are drawing from them while presenting them as fact.

To clarify, no driver has sued us. That statement is completely false. As a mater of fact the same driver is still working for us!

The matter you continue referring to was addressed years ago through the proper legal and regulatory process. Yes, fines were issued and dealt with accordingly. That does not make every accusation or theory being spread online true.

You also continue to make statements implying criminal intent or dishonesty without having any actual knowledge of the operational circumstances surrounding the shipment, the shipper documentation, or the legal proceedings involved.

At the end of the day, we are still operating after 13 years in business, running cross-border freight throughout Canada and the USA, employing drivers, servicing customers, and continuing to grow. Companies that are supposedly the criminal organizations you describe generally do not remain openly operating for over a decade with physical locations, equipment, customers, insurance, and regulatory oversight.

I have no interest in online arguments or personal attacks. We will continue focusing on our business and leave the speculation and internet drama to others.
 
In English please ! what dose that mean
First time I've been asked to write William Shakespeare in English.......................................I use it often when the following happens here.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" (often misquoted as "me thinks you protest too much") is a famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act III, Scene II). It is used to suggest that someone’s over-the-top denial or enthusiastic insistence on a topic indicates they are hiding the truth or feel guilt
 
Sir you are suggesting you have been in business for 13 years now, you have not. Which makes sense why I have never heard of you before. When you say the driver still works for you, are you saying that Stepan Motyl still works for you? Are you saying you aren't aware of claim number CV-26-00013536-0000 in the Sudbury court? You should never leave your driver out to pay any of your fines, as word gets around quickly in this industry.

I mean come on. I can't count the number of times a shipper has loaded crates of smokes on my trailer by accident. It's gotta be in the hundreds.

As Shakey mentioned with his Hamlet quote. We have said our piece and clarified our position.
We wish everyone all the best moving forward and will continue focusing on our business, customers, and operations.

Take care.
 
Your driver Stepan Motyl sued you 2 weeks ago. I'll post this on this side as well. Claim # CV-26-00013536-0000 Mr. Robulets you were sued under this lawsuit by your driver. Why continue with all of your lies?
