Whistle-blower headed for hall of fame

 BURLINGTON, ONT. - -  Ron Foxcroft is being inducted into this southern Ontario city’s Entrepreneur Hall of Fame this week and it’s no fluke. But his company sure is.

 Fluke (“If it’s on time it’s a Fluke”) Transport was started by the late Bobby Fluke in 1921, but Foxcroft purchased it in 1983. It has grown to an OTR and LTL fleet of 176 trucks and about 475 trailers.

 Foxcroft is being  honored not solely for his successful transportation business but also because he invented another company, which manufacturers and sells sports and safety whistles, known as the Fox 40,  around the word.

Foxcroft, 65,  was named one of Profit Magazine's top 10 Canadian entrepreneurs of the decade.
