CARAVAN XPRESS: VOLUME VI www.caravavangrup.cm frm the Editr Since 1997, we have watched Caravan grw frm a tiny ffice space in Mississauga t a large-scale, reginal peratin, with terminals acrss Canada, hundreds f trucks and trailers, staff and drivers mving the wheels n this transprt cmpany. With grwth, there will always be pain. But withut grwth, there is n mving frward, there is n evlutin. Years ag, we annunced the additin f the new terminal in Vaudreuil-Drin, Quebec. In past driver surveys, the mst prevalent request was t imprve the cnditin f the yard in Quebec. Earlier this spring, after years f filing permits and red tape, Caravan was given the kay t repave the yard in Vaudreuil, and cnstructin n the prperty began by June. If yu have passed thrugh the Quebec terminal yu wuld have witnessed the recent changes in the yard. Cme winter 2016, the yard will be paved ver and expanded as planned. Please bear with us as these grwing pains will allw us t expand and better serve yu, ur drivers. The unpaved areas f the lt prved difficult fr drivers t maneuver in the snw, and als during the rainy seasn when the grunds became muddy. Drive Safe and Keep On Trucking!
