Burgess Transportation Services Inc., the parent company of Brunswick Hino, is proud to be a locally owned and operated business located in Petitcodiac, New Brunswick. Our family business started out as a service station and grocery store in New Canaan, New Brunswick. We also operated a Cockshutt/White Farm equipment dealership, as well as a small dairy farm. In 1946, our father and company founder, Harry Burgess, purchased a small truck to haul milk from local farmers to Sussex Cheese and Butter Company.  By the mid-1950s, our company expanded to five trucks. Soon after, we purchased more trucks and expanded operations to include transporting gravel and soil for local contractors.

Today, we are proud to have 60 employees and over 40 company-owned trucks. In the fall of 2005, we started selling Hino trucks, with our first sale going to Atlantic Sprout Farm in Harvey, New Brunswick in November of 2005. In the first six months of business, we only sold six trucks. During our second year, business steadily improved with 12 units sold for the 2006 calendar year. By 2007, we were averaging two Hino truck sales per month. Our achievements in Hino truck sales have earned us numerous national dealer awards and we earned the designation of being Atlantic Canada’s number-one Hino seller. We’ve also won several awards, including the “Award of Excellence,” in recognition of our outstanding overall performance in sales, service, and parts.
