Sleeman Breweries is a brewery that is bases in Guelph, Ontario. It is the third largest brewery in Canada, and they have other breweries across Canada. Out of Sleeman's Brewery in Guelph, they run a private fleet of 10 Freightliner Classic tractors, to distribute the beer throughout Ontario. Sleeman also bought a brewery called Upper Canada, hence the name on the tractor that Chris drives. Upper Canada is also based out of Guelph.

The drivers at Sleeman really look after the trucks and are responsible for keeping them clean and polished. They pride themselves in running the most impressive brewery fleet in Ontario.

Every year the Sleeman drivers enter various truck shows. In 2001 they places second for best fleet at the Fergus Truck Show, which is the biggest show in Canada.
