Northern Deck Division

As the open-deck division operating within the framework of Gardewine Group Inc, Northern Deck provides Coast to Coast service in Canada. Northern Deck’s focus on shipments originating from and destined to Canadian locations allows us to concentrate our resources on providing superior open-deck service to our customers.

 

In order to provide customers with seamless service when a load must be picked up or delivered outside Canada, Northern Deck is able to work in conjunction with Northern Logistics, Gardewine Group Inc.'s third party logistics division, to ensure all your requirements are fulfilled.

 

Northern Deck is equipped with a diverse fleet of equipment and staffed by trained professionals capable of designing custom services in order to meet any Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) or Truckload (TL) freight requirements of our customers. As a result of these capabilities, Northern Deck provides our customer base with dedicated City Cartage service, Short Haul “peddle-run” service within the Gardewine network and Long Haul service throughout Canada.

 

To service the needs of our customers, Northern Deck has a fleet of more than 90 trailers and 70 tractors. The Northern Deck trailer bank includes a variety of equipment such as: 

• Super B Train and Single Drop Frame

• 53’ Tridem Drop Deck

• 53’ Highboy Tandem

• Heavy Haul equipment

• 28’ Highboy Tandems

• Slider kit options

• Tilt Decks

• Container Chassis

 

Utilizing this equipment, Northern Deck can handle virtually any open-deck requirement, including over-dimensional loads requiring special permits, escort services, and more.

 

Northern Deck has experience with a multitude of Canadian industries including lumber, retail, steel, construction, agriculture and mining. The continuing relationships with companies such as Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting, Vale Inco and Agnico Eagle demonstrate the service commitment and ongoing quality that Northern Deck has provided to customers for over half a century.

 

The adoption of new technology is one of the driving forces allowing Northern Deck to grow our efficiencies and enable our customers to obtain relevant and up to date information on the status of their loads. Through a connection to Gardewine Group Inc's Online System customers are able to trace their shipments, acquire Proof of Delivery documentation and review the historic data of their loads transported with Northern Deck.

 

Northern Deck is focused on growing the company and the services provided to our valued customer base. We plan to achieve these goals by increasing our fleet of state of the art equipment, growing and improving the technological tools at our disposal, and continuing to develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. Whether your shipment moves within the Gardewine terminal network, such as a shipment from Thunder Bay to Flin Flon, or is a shipment from Vancouver to Moncton, Northern Deck is available to serve you from Coast to Coast, with our commitment of unsurpassed service in meeting all your needs.
