The word 'Midland' is on a small green rectangle as a separate graphic.

At Midland, we’ve always believed we could build a first-class transportation and logistics company from right here in Atlantic Canada. For more than five decades, this region has been our home and the centre of our operations. As the transportation industry evolves, we remain committed to investing in our people, our terminals, and the communities that drive Atlantic Canada’s economy.

Building the Backbone of Atlantic Trade

Our new and expanded Dartmouth terminal signals what’s ahead. Built for greater efficiency, better service, and future growth, it strengthens our ability to serve shippers in Nova Scotia for years to come.

And it’s only the beginning. Expansion plans are underway for other major markets. These are long-term investments designed to support Atlantic Canada’s future.

Midland’s Atlantic network covers 99% of the region. In these areas, good jobs matter, local relationships matter, and strong businesses support families, schools, charities, and local organizations. We hire, buy, and invest locally because we believe strong communities create a stronger region.

Technology that Empowers People

We’re also investing in technology. From predictive routing and load optimization to intelligent dispatch and enhanced shipment visibility, technology is helping us work smarter and serve customers better.

But trucking remains a people business.

Midland’s workforce is among the most dedicated and capable anywhere. Over one in six company drivers have been with us for over 20 years, and our driver retention rate far exceeds the industry benchmark. Our responsibility is to provide the training, infrastructure, and technology our team needs to succeed.

Technology gives our teams better information, faster insights, and more effective tools. When drivers have real-time updates and planners can anticipate demand, everyone benefits. Our goal is to help great people perform at their best.

Atlantic Canada’s #1 Carrier

Midland is proud to be recognized by Mastio & Company as Atlantic Canada’s #1 carrier for Superior Quality Service. That achievement reflects the commitment of our team and our focus on what customers value most: on-time, in-full, damage-free service.

It’s why we invest in facilities, technology, and training. Every investment is made with one goal in mind: delivering a better experience for our customers while helping Atlantic Canada grow.

Our Home. Our Commitment.

Atlantic Canada isn’t a market we serve from a distance. It’s where we live, work, and raise our families. We are investing for the long haul because this is our home, and we’re committed to helping build a stronger future for the region.
