Description

MacKinnon Transport Incorporated is built on a rich family and corporate history. With over 75 years of experience in tandem and van transportation logistics, MacKinnon Transport Incorporated is the carrier of choice. The company began in 1929 with Leslie and Stella MacKinnon. It ran for 17 years as a one truck company with 125 customers. In 1943, their son, Bill obtained his driver's license and a second truck expanded the business. Leslie based his successful business on trust; his handshake was his bond and he treated all his customers in the same manner. Leslie also took great pride in knowing each employee and their family members. In 1959, Leslie and Bill purchased the first terminal on highway #6 at the south end of Guelph. Then, in 1988, 15.6 acres of land were purchased from the city of Guelph in the Hanlon industrial park, where it remains today. In 1990, Ray Haight, the founder of Southwestern Express, and Evan MacKinnon, a principal of MacKinnon Transport, were introduced to one another through a common accounting firm. MacKinnon Transport, a Company that operates throughout Ontario and Quebec, felt that due to the free-trade agreement, opportunities for new growth would come from expansion into broader geographical markets. In 2000, MacKinnon Transport Incorporated comes to light, incorporating both MacKinnon Transport Limited and Southwestern Express to strategically position both the van and tandem division for continued excellence in customer service for the new millennium.
