Gardewine North
Company History
Gardewine Group Inc. has been in business for over 60 years. Gardewine North (general and perishable van freight) and Northern Deck (flatbed freight) are the LTL divisions within the group and constitute the largest divisions. Gardewine Group Inc. also encompasses 3 truck-load companies – Northern Cartage (contractual work for Grocery and Retail companies) and Northern Bulk (wood chips and iron ore) and Northern Logistics (3rd Party Logistics service).
By the late 1980’s Gardewine had grown into a 200-truck operation with branches throughout Manitoba. In 1993 Gardewine began offering service to communities in Northwestern Ontario including Thunder Bay, Dryden, Red Lake, Fort Frances and Kenora. Many of the clients in these areas used Winnipeg based companies as major suppliers, and Gardewine, with concrete relationships with most of these suppliers, was able to offer these companies service by one carrier.
In 1998, Gardewine began offering service within Northern Ontario. In 2000 a 2 million dollar branch in Sudbury was built joining other branches in Toronto, Kapuskasing, North Bay, Sault Ste Marie, Timmins and Wawa.
Today with a network of over 40 terminals and more than 1350 employees Gardewine has the monetary resources to expand into any area of the market it deems viable. We remain committed to the regional LTL market, as is apparent with Gardewine having our two major hubs in Winnipeg and Toronto and yet not offering service between them.
