History

 

Milk transporter associations date back to the 1930's in Ontario.

 

Toronto, Hamilton and the Ottawa areas all had associations of transporters which dealt with issues which affected transporters in their markets. There were other areas of the province that also had groups that met and discussed their common problems, but were not as formally organized as the three associations.

 

With the advent of milk marketing by the Ontario Milk Marketing Board in 1965 transportation was to be an important segment of the industry to the marketing plan. Meetings were held with OMMB chairman George McLaughlin and his wish was to have one body to deal with the transportation issues rather than having the OMMB having deal with the great number of transporters.
