Nothing to do with the point of your useful post, Longway, but I wonder how many noticed that most of those company names might well have been on the UK scene 30 or 40 years ago.
Loads (haha) of ‘Transports’ and even 1 ‘Cartage’ and 1 ‘Carriers’. Most interesting just 2 ‘Transportations’ and only 1 ‘Trucking’. 
I think there may have been a ‘Logistics’ in there somewhere too.
Most of the names were fairly ‘Anglo’ as well, I wonder if a similar list from the States would provoke such Brit nostalgia? Doubtful 
.
No ‘Haulage’ or ‘Hauliers’ though 
. Yes I know they say haulers in N. America, but Canada may have been different 
.
Spardo:

Spardo: A HAULAGE company usually refered to a local dump truck ( you chaps call them tippers) operation.
Here is a “Haulage” company:
They run bulk cement.
The reason for the “Anglo” names is that most of those are Ontario companies.
Until 1968; Ontario was very much a WASP province and Toronto a WASP city.
NO today though; Multi Culture is the rule.
Spardo,it seems like companies over here just go with a name or initials and don’t bother so much with suffixes these days.That said Van Lines is still common.others are Tank line,National,Transportation,Motor carrier,Intermodal,Trucking,or Freight.Oh and Cartage,which is normally a garbage company.

In Ontario; CARTAGE is usually a local drayage company.
What the “Brit” for that?
Canada Cartage runs around the Toronto and Ontario areas.
I always thought drayage was delivering beer to pubs,well in England anyway. 
.Sounds like a much older word from the horse and cart days.
Thanks to both Bluejay & Longway, things have changed here too which is
why I hinted that the post was nostalgic.
Not many ‘haulage’, ‘hauliers’, or even ‘transport’ anymore (I think, don’t live
there anymore you see 
), but plenty of ‘logistics’ etc. .
Bluejay the pic. of Grant’s you showed was not a tipper but a bulk powder
tanker. Not even a tipper tank, but a hopper.
Longway is right about ‘drays’. Never heard of ‘drayage’ but drays are only
associated with pub deliveries.
‘Cartage’, I haven’t heard for years but was just another name for transport,
nothing specialised. There used to be a giant company called Union Cartage,
part of the Vestey empire which also owned cattle stations (and RR powered
Rotinoff road trains) in Australia (NT) as well as Blue Star Liners, a shipping
company that operated refrigerated ships bringing Argentine beef to the UK. I
once worked for Lord Vestey as a salesman in a subsidiary wholesale meat
company, Weddels, in Nottingham and Bedford.
Strewth! Mention one word and you can’t half set an old geezer off
