Cool Facts About Our Companies

CRS was founded by Stan Morrow in 1985. Like many trucking entrepreneurs he started out behind the wheel and got his education on satisfying the needs of his customers first hand.

DBU was founded in 1949 by father and son team David W. Brown and David A. Brown in the small community of Waterville Nova Scotia. David Allan Brown took over the operation in 1968.

Choice Reefer Systems is the official transportation company for Nascar Canada’s Canadian Tire Series.

CRS was one of the first dedicated temperature control LTL carriers to be certified to the new ISO standard in Canada.

DBU purchased its first refrigerated truck in 1985. Before that dry ice was used to keep the various food products at the right temperature.

CRS purchased DBU in 2006 forming the first independent coast-to-coast temperature-controlled trucking operation dedicated to transporting LTL and TL food products.

DBU is one of a handful of Canadian carriers (9 in total) to be HACCP certified in 2013.

Great People

"My home and my cottage are both in the Sharbot Lake area. I left early this morning for a court case in Whitby. On route I stopped in Tweed to pick up a coffee at Tim Horton’s. While I was there I had the pleasure of meeting Shelly, one of your drivers. I followed her down to Belleville from Tweed and I must say she represents you and your company well."

"We would like to thank David Brown Transport for hiring good, decent people as their professional drivers.

We were fortunate enough, this past Sunday, to meet Nick.

We were stopped an isolated turnaround on the T.C. Hwy in N.B. struggling to change a blown tire on our R.V. when Nick came to our rescue.

He generously gave of his time (and much needed muscle) to ensure our wheel got changed properly and the damaged tire properly stored in its place.

For all his hard work, the only think he would accept from us was our thank you!

It's comforting knowing that local companies have such great people employed with them.

Thank you David Brown & thank you Nick Green!"
