Who We Are
Bison Transport was incorporated in 1969 by owner Duncan M. Jessiman, who continues to provide leadership to the company as chairman and sole shareholder. Utilizing specialized equipment, Bison began providing local cartage services to the construction industry and was then awarded the catalogue business first for Eaton’s and then Sears.
Bison has grown from just 18 tractors and 32 employees to over 1,700 tractors and approximately 2,900 employees.
One of the largest carriers in Canada today, Bison Transport serves Canada and 48 nearby states. As a high-service, dependable and value-creating supply-chain partner, Bison Transport offers full truckload service, full-service logistics, dedicated fleet operations, yard management, and warehousing and distribution.
I take great pride in the work I do.
