Two Canadian trucking companies operating in the same Toronto site have shut down as their owner faced a mountain of debt and largely unprofitable businesses, bankruptcy court records show.
Orbit Freight ceased operating in February following the shutdown of Delta Carrier, according to filings in Ontario Superior Court in March. The size of either carrier wasn’t clear at the time of closure. At their peak, the companies had a combined fleet of around 30 tractors, doing domestic dry van, temperature-controlled, intermodal and dump truck services.
