About us
50 years in Western Canada freight. Still one family.
Rolls Right was founded in 1976, one truck, one driver, himself. It's still family-run today. No private equity, no roll-up, no sale process. When you sign with us, the people answering the phone next year are the people answering it today.
“One truck, one vision, and 50 years of keeping supply chains moving across Canada.”
What we actually are
Not a 3PL. A full-stack regional operator.
Most companies the market calls a 3PL only run the warehouse and hand your freight to somebody else. We own the trucks, we run the buildings, and we run our own cold storage. That span is the actual difference.
Since 1976
Trucking
Asset-based. Around 165 power units and 500 trailers, all ours. LTL, truckload, dedicated fleets, refrigerated, drayage.
Since 2023
Warehousing & 3PL
The newest and the most hands-on. Storage, handling, container work and value-add across two provinces.
Vancouver
Rolls Right Cold Storage
Our own chilled and frozen operation, HACCP certified and food grade. Same company, same account manager, same invoice.
One call gets you all three. That's what people mean by one throat to choke. When a load runs late there's no gap between the warehouse and the carrier for the problem to hide in.
How we got here
50 years, three turns.
One truck
A founder starts Rolls Right Trucking in the Lower Mainland with a single truck and himself behind the wheel, local moving and delivery, built on every penny he had. Local, asset-based, family-run. That has not changed.
Warehousing
Third-party warehousing begins in the Lower Mainland. We started small, ran out of room, and expanded because customers grew with us rather than because we bet on space.
Calgary
A purpose-chosen facility in southeast Calgary: 100,000+ sq ft, 28 ft clear, ESFR-protected. New capacity, ready now.
Track record
50 years of doing this.
Still run by the same family that started it.
Plus roughly 500 trailers, and every one of them ours.
Several national accounts have been with us twenty years or more.
Our own equipment, running six days a week.
Run responsibly
Certified, tracked, and measured.
Third-party programs audited by outside bodies. The same discipline our customers score us on.
SmartWay® Transport Partner
Registered with Natural Resources Canada under the SmartWay program, certification current and actively maintained.
Low-carbon delivery
A certified partner in CHEP's low-carbon delivery program, with battery-electric trucks already working real routes.
A fleet you can see
GPS tracking across the fleet and 24/7 dispatch. When your freight is on our trucks, someone is watching it move.
How we work
Sell stability first, price second.
You are handing us your inventory and betting we will not drop it, lose it, or ship it late. We would rather win that bet on being reliable and easy to deal with than on being the cheapest number in your inbox, and we're pleasantly competitive anyway.
We never say "we can't help you." If it doesn't fit our building, we find you a path.
Speed wins. A quote inside 48 hours, every time.
We trade rather than discount. If you need a better number, we'll look at term, volume or scope, not just cut and hope.
We ask where you actually need help. What you tell us is usually worth more than any rate card.
Tell us what you move.
Pallet count, how often it turns, where it ships. A real number back inside 48 hours, and a straight answer about whether we're the right building.
