They focus on providing intra-provincial shipping services, with a strong presence in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

This service is particularly useful for those shipping items like clothing, dry consumables, paper products, small machinery, tools, and auto parts.

Heated – They are offering dependable and effective heated services throughout Canada and the United States. Their dedicated customer service team works closely with internal departments to ensure that your shipment is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Heated services are particularly useful for transporting packaged foods, drinks, and other consumables that require protection from freezing temperatures.

Temperature Controlled – Bison has a fleet of refrigerated trailers to handle your frozen and refrigerated freight at the desired temperature. Their state-of-the-art refrigerated trailers enable shippers to have single, dual, or triple temperatures within one trailer. They offer refrigerated and multi-temp (ambient, frozen, and protect-from-freeze) services. Bison’s trailer satellite tracking allows remote setting and monitoring of temperatures, location, and security.

Their drivers are trained in USDA clearance procedures to ensure compliance with the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), which is detailed and complex. Additionally, Bison will create a supply-chain plan to ensure your company and shipment comply with FSMA regulations. Temperature-controlled services are ideal for shipments ranging from frozen commodities to those needing protect-from-freeze service.
