TRUCKING STORY * Canada - First time's the charm for trucking company owner
If it's broken, fix it
Inuvik,Canada -The Northern News Services, by Guy Quenneville -April 28, 2008: -- ... That's the mantra that prompted Aklavik-born Adele Campbell to open her own trucking company in Inuvik, despite her complete lack of experience in the industry... Campbell was working as an accountant for Weitzel's Construction four years ago when the company was constantly hampered by late or missing deliveries of construction materials... Qilamik Industries Ltd. - Qilamik meaning "speedy" in Inuvialuktun - began as a pilot project in 2004, supplying only Weitzel's Construction... But Campbell needed to expand her business in order to keep her operation afloat and began seeking other Inuvik customers... When Qilamik got started, it began with one truck and one trailer, making one voyage a week. Today the company makes between five and seven treks a week employing a total of five people, including Campbell. It still owns one truck, but leases nine others...

The trucking company was started by a woman who never finished high school, and it is now Inuvik's premier freight carrier)Labels: trucking stories
