Happy 5-year Turkstraversary to Mike! 🎉

As the Yard Manager at our Dundas location, Mike’s hometown knowledge and relationships throughout the Dundas community bring a friendly and welcoming experience to our customers. Trust us when we tell you, we’re so glad he joined the team in 2021, learned the yard and warehouse quickly, and confidently took on the role of Yard Manager in no time at all.

When Mike’s dog Magic is not walking him, he enjoys golfing, watching football and going on Sunday drives in the country.

Happy Turkstraversary Mike! You’re such an important part of the team!

Tim has reached an exciting milestone: five years with Turkstra! 🎉

Over the past five years as Turkstra’s Director of Operations, Tim has consistently demonstrated dedication, professionalism, and a commitment to supporting both colleagues and customers. His positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to go the extra mile have made a meaningful impact on the team and contributed to the company's success. He has actively participated in many significant company initiatives, including the implementation of K8, Samsara logistics software, Central Dispatch and Distribution, DayForce, the Smithville EWP project, and more.

On a personal note, Tim loves spending quality time with his wife, Krista, and their two children, Spencer and Logan. We’ve also heard he’s a decent hockey player, but that has yet to be confirmed😊

Tim, we appreciate everything you’ve accomplished and look forward to many more years of contributions and achievements ahead.
