Does anyone have any service experience with this carrier? The office we are dealing with is in Milton, On. Any and all responses are appreciated, load pending. Thanks in advance.
 
I have used them a few times.
Western Canada- GTA.
No issues on my end. I would use again.
 
We've worked with Gurman 3 times in the preceding 8 months. None of the orders hit my desk so that's good news! Will work with again.

Shakey - now you have me worried a little.

Keep well,
Mike
 
I was trying to ensure that they were not part of Pride as Pride is a direct competitor on a few lanes. Also, I was trying to determine if they have a habit of taking loads then re/co/double brokering them.
 
Multiline Transport ( Bought by pride from previous owner Stan
) + Pride Trucks + M Garry ( Out of market now) + Preston ( used to own M Garry and merged with Pride but later on dissolved M Garry and took Preston out of Pride, Basically Preston was just a shell company for them until real owner went apart) + Bruce r Smith + there is one numbered company out of Paris,ON = Pride Group of companies. Gurman from Preston is a son of the owner who started M Garry. He is the main reason they parted ways. He will only cooperate or work along until he has another good option. once he has it he will leave you stranded no matter what so not my type of person to rely on.
 
So, just that I am clear......perhaps Pride and Preston had some connection in the past, there is no connection now??? Am I understanding this correctly?

No connection.. now they are working against each other..
 
OK....cool. I have a large customer where Pride is always barking at their door wanting to get in. In fact, they do let them in on some lanes and then, at the last minute, we get the phone call from the customer to cover the loads. Funny how that works when someone offers low rates.

Any info on their services within Canada? I’ve had them contact me on a couple of my shipments and one is pending.

They operate out of Prides terminal in Milton so I'd say there is a connection.
