About us
Jade Transport has a long history of pursuing excellence. We at Jade believe that the company is more than a business. It is a diverse group of people brought together by their common love of trucks, quality, and service. In every aspect we strive for quality, from the calibre of employees that are a part of the Jade team, to the equipment, and ultimately in the service provided to our customers.
Although the company is currently based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the roots can be traced back to Mexico, where the founder, Jake Dyck, first began his trucking career. The story of Jade began way back in 1935 in Mexico when Jake started hauling logs with a Model A truck. After immigrating to Manitoba in 1952, the elder Dyck transported cars from Ontario to Saskatchewan. In 1965, he decided to leave the highway to work locally for a tanker company called Oil and Industry Suppliers. Four years later, in 1969, Jake was offered a local contract to haul asphalt cement, and he joined forces with a partner to form J & J Trucking, and after a few years, he bought out his partner (OR struck out on his own).
