To provide quality horse transportation service for the equine industry by patterning the company around three key areas:
Most of our regular shipping occurs in PEI but we services multiple clients in Ontario,the great GTA area, London, and Ottawa as well. We can always accommodate locations along those routes as well. Our shipping rates reflect that our starting location is in Summerside PEI, so our rates will vary based on the distance we need to travel for a pick up. Our customers say our drivers are the best in the industry and we fully agree.
MCK Truck N Train’ fleet consists of state-of-the-art gooseneck shuttles for short-distance transportation and also forprivate hauls..The difference between the two types of transportation is that private hauls guarantee your horse goes direct from your pick up to your drop off. With co loads, horses are collected and dropped off at various points throughout the trip. Private hauls are traditionally more expensive than co load shipping.
Celebrating over 5+ years – MCK Truck N Train. has been serving the horse industry’s equine transportation needs since 2015.
Based on the market analysis in the mid 1990’s, it was apparent that quality equine transportation was needed from coast to coast. Shipping horses on scheduled routes were basically nonexistent. It was at that time in 2015 MCK Truck N Train was founded to provide quality horse transportation service, “door-to-door”, for single or multi-head horse shipments, to major markets throughout Canada. Since then, we have proudly become one of the largest, and most trusted, equine transportation companies on the East Coast.

Joe McGee, CEO, along with his wife Joan, have been the backbone of Equine Express since the day they started the business in 1986. Originally from Monahans, TX, they are high school sweethearts and have 3 children. Their oldest son Jeff, his wife Tammy, and their family all reside in Houston, TX. Joe and Joan’s other two children, Greg McGee and Jackie Alexander, are an active part of the family business and are listed below. Joe enjoys playing golf and Joan is a wonderful artist. They both like to escape the Texas heat and enjoy the beautiful mountains of Ruidoso, NM.
Mike Alexander, President and East Coast Dispatcher, his wife Jackie, and their family have made Equine Express their life. Jackie helped her parents with the business, working in the office and making farm calls to bring in customers. As Equine Express grew, Mike left his corporate job at the truck manufacturer Peterbilt, to join in as East Coast Dispatcher. They have 4 children, Caleb, Colton, Cody, and Catherine, who have all grown up here, cleaning stalls and washing trucks. Caleb and Colton, and their wives listed below, are the third generation to be an active and integral part of the business. Cody is making his passion for golf into his profession and Catherine is an aspiring vintage fashion entrepreneur. In their down time, Mike and Jackie also enjoy driving their Jeep out to Ruidoso.
Caleb Alexander, West Coast & Florida Dispatcher and Maintenance Supervisor, and his wife Amanda, Administrative Assistant, are looking forward to the future of Equine Express. Since Caleb was very little, he was riding along with his “Papa Joe” to move horses. He then started working in the barn, maintaining rigs, and since the day he was legal, driving the shuttle trucks. He has slowly worked his way up the ladder to the positions he holds today. Amanda graduated from Purdue University with her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. She worked for many years as an equine Breeding Manager, before marrying Caleb and joining Equine Express in the office. They have two young children, a daughter, Camryn, and a son, Coleman. As a family, they enjoy their AQHA broodmare, Yadazoom, and taking family vacations to Walt Disney World.
Greg McGee, Rig Manager, helped start Equine Express by driving the rigs. Growing up in the oil fields of west Texas, he developed a love for the “Big Rig” tractor-trailer semis. But when the family moved northeast, to the horse capital of Pilot Point, they were able to combine two things he loved, horses and semi-trucks. Greg is married to his wife, Janet, who is an art teacher at the local elementary school. They enjoy music, attending church, and visiting Janet’s family in the beautiful state of Washington.
Colton Alexander, Texas Dispatcher, and his wife Maegan, Dispatch Assistant, are the newest family members to join Equine Express full time. Colton grew up maintaining the barn and cleaning the rigs, but once he graduated from high school, he started driving the shuttle rigs full time. Colton met Maegan at a local barn, while he was delivering an Equine Express horse! Maegan obtained her associates degree and helps in any way she can around the office. She also enjoys showing her western pleasure horse, Supermann, and was the 2016 3YO Non Pro Limited Western Pleasure AQHA Congress Champion.
