From there, Bulk Carriers dispatch trucks and loads throughout North America offering their customers superior logistics as well as friendly service.
In the beginning, Bulk Carriers was a one truck operation. They hauled of bulk petroleum throughout Prince Edward Island for Gulf Canada. From there, the company expanded into the hauling of liquid asphalt.
By the late 1990s, the company diversified into long haul refrigerated transport. They have concentrated on this market ever since. Furthermore, operations have expanded steadily since 2000. Currently, the company has a large number of trucks and trailers. As a result, their staff is continually growing.
