| Bruce R. Smith started a trucking service in the village of Walsh Ontario in 1947. The company, still owned and run by the family, has grown to one of the largest full load carriers in Ontario.
The head office is still in Walsh and a large terminal is located in Mississauga. There are terminals in London and Chatham Ont and in Point Claire Quebec. |
