From it's inception as a leasing company in 1969, through its conversion to a full service motor carrier in 1990, Elgin Motor Freight has been focused on providing exceptional service at competitive rates. Originally, our primary goal was to service automotive parts manufacturers in southwestern Ontario, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Our service territory has now expanded so that we can support the requirements of our long term customers.
In 2001 we became a proud member of the Challenger Motor Freight group of companies one of Canada's largest carriers. While we still operate independently, we receive support from Challenger in maintenance, purchasing, information technology, and sales.
Elgin has grown rapidly, and we currently have over 170 drivers, about 15% of which are Owner Operators. We are
a non union environment.
Our terminal is in London Ontario, where we have complete maintenance and fueling facilities as well as Dispatch, Customer service, Administration and Sales.
Our customers include companies like Lear, Keiper, Accuride, Johnson Diversey, International Truck and Engine, and Volvo Logistics. 90% of our loads are trans-border, primarily at Detroit and Port Huron gateways. We are fully compliant on all US and Canadian border requirements.
Elgin Motor Freight is a proud member of the Challenger Group of Companies since 2001. We invite you to visit the website for more information.
