Our Story
Our Mission:
To be the Provider of Choice & the Employer of Choice.
Est. 1994
JDA Ventures Ltd. was established in 1994 as a one truck hotshot company operating out of an automotive shop. That’s where the “A” comes from in JDA. Today, we are a well known light & heavy oilfield hauler operating out of Grande Prairie and Whitecourt, AB. With over 250 pieces of equipment and 100 + employees we are now venturing into heavy haul and crane services, JDA is growing fast.
Mission Statement
J.D.A. Ventures Ltd. will transport tools and equipment for its customers with the highest integrity and in the safest possible manner. The ongoing advancement of all personnel and the maintaining of updated equipment will achieve this. Safety for employees, customers, the public, and the environment will not be compromised in any way.
Vision Statement
J.D.A. Ventures Ltd. will maintain its leadership in the Oilfield Hauling industry by meeting the future challenges of the industry with new and innovative ideas, corporate leadership and staff development.
Keeping up with our standards & industry expectations
Our goal has always been to integrate technology with old fashioned service. Our dispatching is computerized, and our trucks GPS tracked, with the most qualified and competent dispatchers in the industry at the helm.
We also invest in safety. Over the last fifteen years, JDA has strived to marry efficiency and safety for the best possible performance in the field, and we’ve seen results. We have fewer breakdowns, less unproductive time, fewer incidents.
Safety means investing in your people and cultivating a strong team of staff working with and looking out for each other. JDA has always been a family business, and we care about our team members and investing in their success. It’s more than procedures and policies, it’s caring about and taking pride in the work you do and the team you work with.
JDA has a wide selection of equipment to meet the needs of today’s industry. Our fleet consists of cranes to 300 ton, crawler cranes, pickers to 55 ton, bed trucks from 285” to 430”, texas beds and tri-drive and tandem-drive winch tractors.
Our owner, Jarvis Dawson, is also devoted to caring for the communities we work in. We are a well-known sponsor of many youth sports, 4H clubs, and children’s charities.
We are always working towards being the employer of choice for our staff, the hauler of choice for our customers and a supporter of the Grande Prairie, Whitecourt and Fox Creek communities.
