GZL - 50 Years Celebration Of International Transportation.


The company was started in 1952 by Gerald Zavitz. He had one tractor and one trailer which he drove himself. His wife Vivian not only held down a job as a registered nurse but also kept Gerald's books and raised a son.

Gerald Zavitz directed the company until 1965 when his son Tim Zavitz took over, who along with a knowledgeable and dedicated staff of associates, has continued to grow the company from strictly a refrigerated trucking company into also incorporating dry trailers and containers.
Over the past several years, Gerald's granchildren ( Debbie, Rob & Barry ) have become an integral part of the G. Zavitz Ltd. team. So the tradition of "personilized service" is continuing.
We specialize in overnight service to/from the Golden Horseshoe to North-Eastern U.S.A. and are familiar with the unique requirements of hauling and inspecting meat/food products and clearing bonded shipments.
We have a unique advantage being located close to the U.S - Canadian border in Niagara Falls, Ontario. We have convenient access to both Canadian and U.S. customs should any border crossing problems arise. We also utilize this location as a transition point between our long distance drivers and our local drivers. This way, we are able to maximize the legal driving time allowed and at the same time, your shipments leave Canada with a well rested driver that can make overnight delivery to almost anywhere within a 500 mile radius.
Our equipment is well maintained at our own service facilities and we have a 3 door dock/warehouse to accommodate cross dock and storage situations.
The continued support of our longtime customers attests to our ability to provide quality transportation and we would be pleased to demonstrate this ability to you.
