ABOUT US

A proud Canadian Company, Swift was conceived in 1980 by our founder & President, Dave Van Dusen. Over the years, Dave started and operated many other delivery Companies including Paragon International Couriers / Ottawa Messenger Service / Queensway Courier & Swiftrac Courier Express, eventually consolidating and becoming The Swift Transportation Group. In 2005, the Company rebranded using the banner name Swift Delivery Systems which embodies and represents all facets of the organization.

In 2013, a pivotal event in the Company’s history occurred when Bill Emmett joined the Company in the role of Vice President and swiftly became a shareholder and Managing Partner. Bill’s superior peripheral vision and blueprint plan in diversifying Swift’s service offerings, transformed Swift from being a good courier Company, to being a truly great Company. Bill’s success was unknowingly quite simple in that he empowered and engaged all staff and drivers to succeed in accomplishing goals on their own merit. As well, Bill’s philosophy in meeting and exceeding Customer’s delivery expectations swiftly gained noticeable traction within the industrial sector and Swift has become the ‘go-to’ Company when it comes to freight services utilizing a wide array of equipment including 5-Tons, Cube Vans and flatbed trucks with moffetts. Because of Bill’s tenacious management skills and relentless drive to succeed, Swift is now recognized as a leader in managed Freight and Dedicated Services and Final Mile Delivery within Eastern Ontario and West Quebec serving an extremely diverse, demanding customer base.

All in all… SWIFT Delivers Quite a Package™!

I first met Dave and his team many years ago, and I've had many positive experiences with them over the years across the many industries I've worked across. At my current business, timing is always critical. We had another shipper from BC delay our shipment by 3 days. After investigation, we found our 5 pallet order was at a dock in town. We called Swift, and within 15 minutes our 5 skids had been picked up and brought to us, saving us an entire day of lost productivity ($2-3k in savings). We would have paid double if they'd asked!

I wanted to reach out and thank you for the great service we received from Swift this week. With higher than anticipated freight volumes, Swift has been instrumental in assisting with maintaining our on-time service metrics. You have built a great team who are fantastic to deal with and always go above and beyond!
