A Lifetime in Trucking with One of Canada's Original Freight Brokers, my Uncle Chris

from Voice Of GO(r)D · host Gord Magill - autonomoustruckers.substack.com

For this episode of Voice Of GO(r)D, I'm very happy to bring you my very own Uncle Chris, who shares with us stories, wisdom, and keys to success, built up from a trucking career that spans back to the 1960s. In 1985, Uncle Chris, Aunt Gina, and his partner Jeff, founded Lakeside Freight Systems in a little office in Oakville, Ontario, and built it into one of Canada's most successful freight brokers, which, after my uncle retired, was eventually sold on to Uber Freight. Uncle Chris is a high miler that has plenty of stories to tell, and insights one can only develop after having put 79 years on the odometer. Thanks for listening, and as always, this show is a gift to my fellow drivers, which accepts no donations nor advertising - all I ask is that you pass it around to anyone else who might be interested in listening. Comments, criticisms, hate mail, I take it all!
