Truck yard and site monitoring in North Bay

Local and live

At the Highway 11, 17 and 63 crossroads

North Bay sits at the meeting point of Highways 11, 17 and 63, with the Trans-Canada Highway running straight through, which Invest in North Bay says puts the city within a day's trucking distance of about 100 million people. Three freight railways serve it, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and the Ottawa Valley Railway, linking into the United States rail network and across Canada. The Jack Garland Airport's 10,000-foot runway, the longest in northern Ontario, anchors the Airport Industrial Business Park, where 115 acres of serviced land already support seven projects and more than 600 workers, while the older Gateway Industrial Park off Seymour Street has roughly 30 acres left.

Yards in those industrial areas hold trailers that are an easy target once the gates are locked for the night. On August 10, 2026, two men drove a pickup truck into the industrial area on Booth Road, hitched up a 20-foot cargo trailer and drove off with it, after an earlier attempt to break into a second trailer on the lot left it damaged. North Bay police released photos of the suspects and asked for dash-cam footage from the area. A fence and a padlock didn't stop them; nobody was watching the lot live.

Sigma puts a live agent on a North Bay yard without a guard on site. Cameras with AI person and vehicle detection flag anyone hooking up a trailer or crossing the fence line after hours, an agent checks the camera right away, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police while the person is still there. Yard Operations adds parking reports so you know what's supposed to be on the lot and what isn't.
