Their Move
Apparently their move was both financial and necessary.
I spoke with their owner and found that the location they were in was financially killing them. Apparently they had subleased part of the facility they were in in Orangeville, On. and only found out after 8 months that the tenant they had leased from wasn’t paying the buildings owner, the gas company or the electrical bills. The tenant then went bankrupt leaving McGillion on the hook for the bills. In the end they only had to pay big money to keep the bldg/company operating as finding a suitable facility to run a trucking firm is difficult. Zoning laws in Ontario are terrible for this.
I was also told that the closure of their biggest customer John Deere in Welland severely hurt them as well. They were taking 20 flat deck and van loads a week from there. This caused a loss of revenue big time!
Currently they are catching up on overdue accounts etc. but this will take time. They are not making excuses but hope that people will understand it takes time to catch things up.
Yes I’m a former employee and used to run the Deere stuff.
