WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Contrans Group has acquired the pneumatic trucking business of Edmonton, Alta.-based TBM Transportation. TBM has 10 tractors and 21 trailers that will be combined with Tri-Line Carriers LP, a Contrans subsidiary based in Calgary that operates both flatbed and pneumatic tank equipment.

“TBM is a well-established carrier that has been transporting materials to drilling operations in Western Canada,” said Contrans’ chairman and CEO Stan Dunford. “This operation is particularly attractive to us as we believe that this is a market that has excellent growth prospects. In addition, we expect the new business will complement Tri-Line’s tank operation in a way that will improve the utilization of our entire fleet of pneumatic tanks based in Western Canada.”
