WROXETER, Ontario, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyndman Transport,
a subsidiary of Celadon Group, Inc. (NYSE: CGI), has announced the
opening of a new trucking terminal in Ayr, ON in mid-November. The new
terminal is located at 2616 Cedar Creek Road, just off Ontario
Highway 401 and Highway 97 at Exit 268 and provides easy access to
this primary trade artery with the U.S. The new facility
features a state-of-the-art driver lounge, new driver dorm rooms
and an expanded maintenance shop that includes a wash bay and
loading dock. In addition, the Ayr terminal is a full-service facility that
includes driver recruiting, safety, orientation, operations and
administration. With the opening of the Ayr terminal, Hyndman has closed the terminal
in Kitchener and all drivers and
staff have transitioned to the new facility.
"We wanted to offer our drivers additional resources housed in a
facility that's second to none," explained Mike Campbell, President of Hyndman Transport.
"The new Ayr terminal not only
allows us to provide more services to our drivers than ever before,
it also provides drivers with a very convenient location."
Opening a new trucking terminal paves the way for Hyndman to
expand their fleet and connect with more drivers. The new
facility will serve as a base of operations for recruiting and
orientation. With more than 75 years of experience behind them,
Hyndman Transport understands the value of good drivers.
"There is nothing more valuable to our company than our drivers
and this new facility demonstrates our commitment to them. We
have built a reputation of being a driver-focused company and we
believe this new facility validates this dedication," stated
Campbell. "Additionally, the opening of our new terminal is the
latest initiative that demonstrates our customer commitment to
ensuring we continue to provide excellent service in truckload
transportation throughout the Canadian provinces and beyond."
"The opening of the new Ayr
terminal is another example of Celadon's pledge to serve our
customers in Canada," said
Paul Will, Chairman and CEO of
Celadon Group. "Hyndman and Celadon both have a rich history
in Canada and are dedicated to
providing the Canadian market with the best facilities and
infrastructure to capitalize on the growth opportunities in
Canada."
