About
Bill Yarn
Four decades keeping freight moving, out of the Greater Toronto Area.
Bill Yarn has spent his working life moving other people’s goods. Over four decades he founded and co-founded four freight companies, each one reaching a little further than the last, from a single distribution business to less-than-truckload and intermodal networks, to ocean freight crossing to Europe and the Far East, to the third-party logistics company he still runs today.
The thread through all of it is simple. Do what you said you would. Move what you were trusted to move. It is the same standard in the yard as on paper, and it is why the work has lasted.

The third-party logistics company he still runs, moving freight across Canada and the USA.
Four decades, one standard
From a single distribution business to networks reaching coast to coast and across oceans, the work grew, but the way it was done never changed. Show up, keep your word, move the load.
Off the road
An eye for the well-built thing.
Away from freight, the same care shows up in what he keeps around him: a lasting weakness for a well-painted classic car, and an appreciation for craft you can see in the details.
Dedication, honesty, and an eye for the work. The same in the yard as on the wall of his office.
