Burbank Express
About Burbank Express
When Burbank Express was first formed and began hauling potatoes, it was supposed to be just for the growers who were all shareholders. We all put in our own equipment as equity which got us to 8 trucks. It was a way that 6 farms could deliver their potatoes in a timely fashion to meet the demand of the processors.
Shortly after we formed Burbank Express we were approached by Simplot to see if we had the capability to finish off the year custom hauling for them as their current contractor could not meet the needs.
Therefore, we said we would try and I recall several shareholders including myself hopping on trucks and going to farms and delivering spuds to the plant.
16 years later and many long days we are still trying to keep up with the demand of hauling potatoes into the factory for them to get processed and make it to the restaurants as French fries that everyone is accustomed to. We have set up a new facility just east of Portage after starting the company in Winkler and running it there for 8 years
We have expanded our operations this year taking on Mike’s Diesel, a well-known mechanic shop in the area for many years.
Overall it has been a good side venture for our farm as we continue to grow the potatoes that are needed and Burbank is there to take them from the storage to the factory any hour of the day.
