McConnell Transport has commenced the expansion of the trailer drop yard facilities at the Jacksonville, NB terminal. This extensive project started June 12th and should be finished by early August 2013. There will be challenges faced during this growth but all staff, and especially the McConnell Drivers and Technicians, are very experienced in putting forth the effort when a goal is set before us. This expansion puts us on the map as the largest, secure facility in the area.
Month: June 2013

At McConnell Transport we are pleased with our addition of trailers equipped with SmartWay verified, advanced side skirts. These side skirts will not only improve our fuel economy but help prevent heavy snow and ice buildup, reduce road spray that is common in rainy conditions and help us to minimize the carbon footprint we leave behind. This is just one example of our focus on fuel efficiency.

The staff of McConnell Transport Ltd. donated $457.75 to the Canadian Red Cross’ HELP program from weekly donations for wearing jeans on Friday.
For more than 50 years the Canadian Red Cross (www.redcross.ca) has been offering Health Equipment Loan Programs. These programs vary across the country according to types of health and medical equipment provided, length of loan, access procedures, and type of service.
The Red Cross provides more than 50,000 pieces of health equipment to Atlantic Canadians every year, ranging from crutches and canes to specialized equipment such as wheelchairs. The HELP program rely on volunteers and the generous support of donors like the staff at McConnell Transport.
