Transportation problem? What transportation problem?
Late night fire drills. Truck accident liability. Border crossing snafus. Hassles like these are enough to leave you drinking Pepto straight from the bottle. We get it. Moving freight is a real backbreaker when you’ve got other priorities to juggle.
Take a load off. We have the experience and no-unsolvable-problems spirit to deliver your freight—safely and reliably.
Go from breaking point to coffee break
Systemic service failures, unforeseen costs, and those dreaded 3 AM fire drills are enough to give you heartburn.
Welcome to the McClay’s family. We’ve got your back.
More than X,XXX businesses treat us like family
My trucking program manager’s stress level on weekends has reduced significantly, and that means mine has, too. We’re in good hands.
It all began on the seat of a motorcycle
We got our start back in 1987. At the time, Gary McClay was manufacturing trailers in a small Canadian town, and his wife, Linda—she was a buyer for a company that manufactured axles and bombshells. Then, Gary was dealt a tough hand. For reasons outside his control, he was unable to continue on his original career path.
That’s when Linda asked Gary if he’d pick up some parts for her company, and he did—on his classic Gold Wing motorcycle. Gary kept at it for a few months. It was a good gig. So good, in fact, that Gary and Linda started Gar-Lin Courier.
Delivering local packages from a 1984 Ford Ranger, the company grew. Then, the McClay family earned the trust of a carrier partner—and everything changed. Serving a Big Three automaker on behalf of their partner, the McClays had a truck at every dock door, supported the end-customer’s rapid growth, and cemented their remarkable story of success.
Today, the second generation of McClays are at the helm
Troy and Ryan continue to drive the intelligent growth of the business.
They boosted the footprint of their Canadian transportation business with the acquisition of Oxford Enterprises. They further built upon this growth by expanding into the US—adding US transportation business and freight brokerage locations.
Like most things that start small and go big, the McClays made it happen through grit, hard work—and a dash of good fortune.
A chance encounter at a boating event. A day on the lake. A partner prospecting call.
It’s how Troy and Ryan uncovered talented leaders Matt Schock and Mark LaBrosse—transportation and logistics professionals who shared their skills, vision, and perspectives on life. Now, they’re part of the family—and accelerating the sustainable growth of McClay’s Logistics USA and McClay’s Transportation USA.
Of course, our story isn’t finished. Today, we’re continuing to add new chapters—expanding our talent and capabilities to serve you better.
