Overview:

The oil drilling industry requires "off-highway" equipment. To provide this type of operation the requirement of heavy duty trucks and trailers is necessary. Sam's Trucking's equipment is manufactured to operate in this extreme environment. Our fleet is equipped to handle rough, back road travelling as well as being able to navigate in adverse weather conditions. We as a company provide all that is necessary to move all types and sizes of drilling rigs. Sam's operates year round as the "patch" dictates. The down time at road ban is used to upgrade and do any major repairs to all trucks and trailers. Sam's Trucking strives to perform a top quality service for our customers by providing employees that are trained to work in a safe and time productive manner.

History:

The current company, Sam's Trucking Estevan Ltd., was established on November 15 2004. Before that, the company ran under the name Sam's General Trucking Ltd. Sam's has been a progressive trucking company since 1952 when Bill Barclay started the company, with the corporate office in Coleville Sask. The Estevan branch was started in August of 1981. At that time Bob Lawrence who had been driving for Sam's with his own truck, became the manager. Rose Lawrence took on the job of office manager. Land was purchased at the current address and a shop was built. The Estevan "office was originally in Bob & Rose's house until an office could be built. Sam's has always been a family orientated business. With Bob & Rose's 3 children working at Sam's from the time they were old enough to drive. Several employees have been employed with Sam's for over 20 years.

At the time of the buyout by Fast Trucking Service, many employees stayed on, including the management. As we enter into our 56th year of being a major trucking company in Saskatchewan, Sam's looks forward to expansion and growth.
