Giberson Transport ~ The Better Transport Carrier!

About Us

Similar to the stone mason who constructs a sturdy foundation one block at a time, so has Ken Giberson built his business…one truck after the other. Beginning in 1967 with one vehicle, which he drove himself, Ken now has a fleet of sixty-three company owned transports that do both local and long hauls throughout the contiguous United States and across all of Canada. Currently Giberson Transport employs a staff of seventy-four, drivers included, who fly the Giberson colours and bolster his fleet.

For the past forty-six years, Ken has built a trucking firm based on on-time delivery and friendly, conscientious and courteous service at fair and competitive rates. The strength of the company is its dedicated and efficient staff and the “best drivers in the country.” This combination has won the loyalty of hundreds of businesses across the maritime provinces and throughout North America. Those loyalties engender similar feeling back toward the customer which has led to many friendships for both Ken and Susan over the years. It’s a business and a way of life, but mostly it’s the pride and satisfaction of doing a professional job well and having fun at the same time.

The trucking business is a highly competitive marketplace and pressure is always on keeping costs down. Interestingly, fuel costs are not now, as one might expect, the primary cause of concern. Rather, insurance costs have risen to become the principal concern throughout the industry. But Ken and Zane are constantly searching on new cost effective ways of doing business and as they have in the past they have found solutions.
Zane commenced working for Giberson Transport during his high school years truly starting from the ground floor up. Zane recalls washing the “fleet” and doing lubes and general maintenance on the trucks and in the shop. Zane drove truck from 1985 to 1995. He gravitated to the business and quickly worked his way upward. Today his primary focus is in the operational end especially related to the computerization of the business.

Today the modern fleet is scheduled, dispatched and fully integrated with the newest trucking software and the individual units are tracked by satellite around the clock to maximize efficiency right down to routine maintenance and repair. This is a twenty-first century operation and as such Giberson is changing and flexing to meet the modern day trucking module. The Miramichi can be proud of this type of home grown progressive enterprise and the success of Giberson Transport will be mirrored in the future growth of the valley.
