Jay’s Transportation Group Estevan

Dennis Doehl was born an entrepreneur, splitting wood to make money while still in grade school. Later, in 1964, with a loan from the local credit union, Dennis bought Jay’s, a small trucking firm. He and two employees began hauling freight between Regina and Watrous. Soon they started moving households, sometimes needing relatives to pitch in.

In the early days, the office was the kitchen table. While Dennis’ wife, Arlene, handled the admin work and took care of their young family, Dennis’ mom often travelled with him as a packer. Lunches were brown bag affairs — usually baloney sandwiches. They used an old milk truck for a pack van. With only one seat for the driver, the packer (Arlene or her mother-in-law) had to sit on a lawn chair. The heater couldn’t keep up with prairie winters, so they’d have to repeatedly stop and scrape the windows with pieces of torn off boxes.

JAY’S GOES THE (LONG) DISTANCE
We know moving can be emotional — especially when you’re uprooting your family for a new community far away. Long-distance moves require more than just extra tissues. They take extra planning and organization, too. When you hire experienced movers like Jay’s, you know your worldly possessions are in good hands.

In 1970, Jay’s partnered with the world-class Atlas Van Lines system. We were among the first to receive their Quality in Motion Award and have grown into one of the largest independent Atlas agents anywhere. With Jay’s, you have access to a trusted network of movers across North America and around the world. We’ll get you from point A to point Z (or anywhere in between) on-time and on-budget.

And that makes making a new beginning a whole lot easier.

Pets, plants, pianos, Porsches — you name it, we can move it. We’ve been doing this since 1964, and we’ve seen just about everything, so don’t hesitate to ask!
