Incorporated in 1958 by Stu Berry and Ted Smith, Berry & Smith Trucking
Ltd., based out of Penticton, BC, began with two trucks, hauling fruit - the
major emphasis was customer service. The Berry family acquired sole
proprietorship in 1970 and attributes the success of the company to their
continued emphasis on both customer service and their dedicated team of
drivers and support personnel. Berry & Smith is proud of driver, Terry
Lyver, awarded the prestigious National Driver of the Year (Canada) for
2003.
Berry & Smith Trucking Ltd boasts a full 48 state and Canadian authority,
over 180 employees, a substantial, in-house truck maintenance facility as
well as offices with secure compounds in Penticton (HO), Vancouver and
Calgary. (In 2006 MKS Enterprises Inc., a Calgary-based trucking company was
acquired.)
The company branched out into other areas of transportation with the
acquisition of the Penticton school bus contract in 1964. The Penticton
transit bus contract was added in 1977. |
