Rick Irons established MDS in August of 1987. The business is what is typically known in the transportation industry as a “niche carrier”. We primarily service the transportation industry itself as an interline carrier to northern Ontario for many of the “household” names in both the courier and LTL sectors. On behalf of these carriers we currently deliver more than 300 LTL shipments and 14,000 packages per day.
We have established MDS terminals in Mississauga, Barrie, Bracebridge, North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie & Timmins. We also have a satellite location in Thunder Bay in partnership with Williams Transportation. Our P&D fleet consists of approximately 80 owner operators and 30 company owned and employee driven trucks of which 16 are tractors pulling over 55 trailers.
Head office is located at our Bracebridge facility. Each terminal is staffed with a Terminal Manager, a lead hand, 2 or 3 clerks and 4 or 5 warehousemen and 15 to 25 P&D runs.
