| Kingsway International S Series in their original paint scheme, taken at their Hamilton, Ontario yard. This tractor is hooked up to a Direct Systems trailer. In the background is a Motorways trailer. | Newer Ford Aeromax with the newer Kingsway logo on the van trailer. This photo was taken at Guelph, Ontario. | This was taken in the summer that Kingsway, which was then owned by Federal Industries, had taken over Motorways. The photo was taken at Nairn Center on a rainy August day. It was sad, because they removed the Kingsway "K" from the door of the tractor and replaced it with an all-white "M" with Motorways written through it. This logo was short lived and only used on the broker Kingsway tractors. |

| Motorways Ford. This was after they went out of business. Chris hooked this tractor and trailer together because he had no Motorways photos. (Way to go, Chris!). The photo was taken at Consolidated Fastfrate's St. Clair yard waiting to be painted red and white. | Direct Systems S-Series International taken at Oakville, Ontario in 1987. | |

| This was typical of what the Cabano livery looked like when they made their presence in Ontario in the late 80's. When Chris was younger, he remembers that Cabano ran GMC Astros with aluminum budds on the front axle and the tractors were painted the same green used a little yellow bird for their logo. This Volvo with a 3 axle van was based out of the Cambridge, Ontario terminal. | Early shot of Cabano Transport before the Transforce era. | |

 |
| This was the last updated paint scheme before Transforce took them over. These colors are slowly getting phased out. This photo was taken at Fergus, Ontario in September 2001. | Kingsway also bought out Thompson's Transfer from eastern Canada. This Mack CH-600 was taken at Wooler Hill, near Trenton, Ontario. | Original Cabano broker pulling a Kingsway van. The Peterbilt tractor has the Kingsway logo on the door just below Cabano. This photo was taken at Windsor, Ontario. |

| When Cabano bought our Braxeau, they also got Beauce Express. CHO-BO was one of Beauce's divisions. Beauce ran vans, but also had fleet of pneumatic tanks. Beauce ran some nice long wheelbase Autocars pulling these tanks. | One of the first acquisitions the Transforce made after the Cabano Kingsway deal was Papineau. Papineau was neat because they ran two separate divisions. One was painted green and orange, which was Papineau Transport, that ran Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. This truck is hooked to the other division's trailer, Papineau International US. The photo was taken at a beer store at Ottawa, Ontario. | This picture shows a Freightliner Century Class in the other division's color, Papineau International. They alway has "U.S." written on the windscoop. This was the paint scheme before Transforce bought them out. The Freightliner is hooked to another T.F.S. acquisition, LaBonté Transport. |

 |
| This photo shows the new colors of Papineau. All divisions keep the same striping and globe on the door, but put each company name on the door and the wind scoop. | Next they bought up McGill Transport. Sad to see this color combination go, using that Kenworth paint scheme. All their brokers kept the trucks looking nice. McGill also has a division called McGill Air. | |
 |
 |
 |
| Next Transforce bought up the giant Quebec flatbed carrier, Transport Mondor. It realy put them into the flatbed business overnight. Mondor also ran two paint schemes, one in all red and the other was blue and silver. | ||

| Specialized dump carrier, Transport LeBon, was the next company to come under the Transforce banner. This broker unit was taken in Bellville, Ontario in March 2001. | LaBonté Transport in their new paint scheme. | T.S.T. Overland Express was purchased by Transforce and they have been slowly painting the old orage of Overland to the T.F.I.'s white, red and blue. This Volvo White/GMC is hooked up to an original Overland Express trailer. This photo was taken in December 2001 at Guelph, Ontario. |
Transforce also own Transport Nordique and in September 2001, they bought Daily Transport from T.C.T. and in March 2002, they started repainting the tractors. |
