AYR Motor Express Revenue and Competitors

AYR Motor Express was founded in Ayr, Ontario in 1990 by Joe and Sandy Keenan. Previously, Joe had worked in the trucking industry for many years in Winnipeg, first as a driver and then in management. In 1993, the decision was made to move the company head office to Woodstock, N.B. So we find a company rooted in three centers of Canada that has grown and been increasingly profitable every year since 1991. Fast forward 24 years for a snapshot of what the company looks like now. The Woodstock, NB terminal has 20,000 sq. ft. of offices and a 40,000 sq. ft. shop which services and details every tractor before it leaves the yard. In Brampton, AYR is currently renovating a new 40,000 sq. ft. terminal located on 6 acres which will include 32,000 sq. ft. of warehousing and loading bays. It is not a cross dock but Ayr handles a lot of freight for a day or two before it is re-shipped. In Winnipeg, they have a fully secured yard with 7,500 sq. ft. of dock space plus offices and showers/drivers lounge. Currently AYR Motor Express employs 275 Drivers plus 55 Owner Operators.
