Driver, Truck

The name Dooley’s Trucking has been around for approximately 35 years. Throughout its history, Dooley’s has conducted business from garbage collection to its current position of Courier, Transport, and Specialty Logistics services. The Boone family (Boone Courier Services Ltd.) of Grand Falls Windsor ran the business for eight years before 1998 as a courier service with six employees and four cargo vans and maintained an 800-square-foot warehouse at 175 Roe Avenue.

At this time, the Boone family grew tired of the 24/7 work weeks, the associated commitments, and declining revenue. It was at this point Barry and Kay Warren were approached to purchase the existing contracts held by Boone Courier Services Ltd. Having been self-employed since 1989 and a true entrepreneur, Barry fully understood the risks associated with taking on a new business endeavor and accepted the opportunity to move into a new business sector.
