ABOUT US
A look back into
OUR HISTORY
HIS Trucking Ltd was founded in 1980 by original owners and operators Jon and Esther Bucher in Morinville, Alberta. Jon and Esther moved into the area originally to start a farm. To supplement the farm, Jon began hauling grain for local farmers.
As a means of growing the business, Jon started hauling powdered meat meals commercially. This diversification was born in HIS Trucking Ltd due to a need where others felt that the task was too labour intensive, difficult or required specialized equipment.
By being reliable and effective Jon was rewarded with increased commercial hauling. A key relationship was formed and business grew. The hauling increased in quantity, distance and a variety of product.
Who would have know that the first driver hired was told, "there may not be enough full time work for you". Of course that was 15 years ago and the driver is one of our most consistent and trusted drivers, and still employed full time.
NEW OWNERSHIP
On March 1st, 2022, Doug and Sandy Fleming purchased HIS Trucking. Doug was a valued employee for 12 years before acquiring the company, having gained the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage all facets of the business. With a proven track record for superior customer service within the trucking industry, we look forward to growing HIS Trucking while helping our customers reach their goals and objectives.

OUR NAME
Many ask what ‘HIS’ stands for in our name. It is very simple, this business as well as all we ever have and do is never ours, it is God’s or HIS. It's our daily desire to serve and glorify God with our business and personal lives.
