About Tri-ad

about

Tri-ad began doing business in 1988 and has grown into a multi-million dollar freight forwarding company. Our name means “Three Modes” and represents the three major modes of transportation offered by our company: Land, Sea and Air.

Global Outreach
The company was founded by Linda M. Collier, a former transportation executive with years of experience at a major European freight forwarder. Today, Tri-ad has over 90 employees and has become one of the premier international freight forwarding companies around the world. Because of our many global partners, we can offer a seamless system that integrates the three modes of transportation, giving our clients faster, more secure services.

Tri-ad has been named Canada’s Fastest Growing Company for 3 consecutive years, and founder, Linda Collier, has received many other awards for her extraordinary leadership. We lead the competition with an ever-expanding array of professional services for every major market segment.

At Tri-ad, we take full advantage of the most innovative technological breakthroughs for the custom freight forwarding industry. Our customers can easily access all types of information about their shipment with our proprietary interactive software which tracks, traces and retrieves global contacts.
