We are very humbled to receive this recognition. stated CargoBarn Inc. CEO Cameron Baird.

I'm not sure there has ever been a more difficult time to try and grow a business, I can't help to think that there was a little bit of luck on our side. We just tried to hire good people and offer an excellent service explained Baird.
