Getting Back to Our Roots

By   |  

It’s a little-known fact that TRAFFIX’s seeds were first planted in the heart of downtown Toronto. Before I started TRAFFIX, I was operating an asset-based trucking company above my family’s flower business at College Street and Spadina Avenue.

From there, I went on to found TRAFFIX in 1979, and we eventually moved our operations to Toronto’s western suburbs. Thirty-seven years later and based out of Milton, Ontario, we’ve grown to be Canada’s leading third-party logistics specialist with a private fleet and a broad network of carriers that deliver logistics services that are unrivaled in our industry.

Now is the right moment to take the next step, and I also think it’s about time that TRAFFIX return to its roots in Toronto.

That’s why I’m proud to announce the launch of our Toronto office, right in the heart of the city’s downtown core. Our expansion is a sign of TRAFFIX’s growth to date as a provider of full-service, asset-based 3PL solutions.

With the sheer amount of business being conducted in downtown Toronto, our new location also gives us the chance to be closer and increase our availability to clients. There’s a certain level of comfort and trust that’s established when the person you’re doing business with is right down the street.

The new location also increases our access to the right kind of people to join our top-of-the-line sales team—those folks living in the downtown area with the talents and qualities that make for great logistics professionals, but who may not be able to commute to our Milton office every morning. TRAFFIX team members can now walk or take public transit to work.

Anthony Smitten, VP of Recruitment & Development, will spearhead our recruitment initiative to make sure that the right people are staffing the new office. If you’re interested in joining the dynamic TRAFFIX team, you can drop Anthony a line at careers@traffix.com.

It’s a phenomenal time for our company, and we couldn’t be more excited for the future.
