I have dealt with the trucking industry most of my working life. I was a Customs Broker for 20 years dealing with truck drivers every day. In 1998 an opportunity came my way to join the team at Steed Standard Transport Ltd where I have been employed for the last 18 years. At first I did the billing and helped out in dispatch. As the company grew my roll has expanded to “Jill of all trades” where I am involved in various aspects of the trucking operation such as IFTA reporting, dealing with U.S. and Canadian Customs issues and quoting rates to Customers. Through the years I have found that the trucking industry is never boring and brings challenges every day. I have really enjoyed it as there is so much to know and learn.

Danny Thompson Band
A prestigious nomination for best new country artist by New Music Weekly has kept the band in high demand on the local music circuit.
The nomination comes as a result of Thompson’s latest hit single, Miles and Miles, a tribute to son Jamie, who was killed while driving his rig through Quebec in 2012.
Miles and Miles, recorded in Nashville and released in Canada early this year, has been climbing the charts on both sides of the border.
