Transportation & Freight in Calgary — the short version
Rolls Right started as a trucking company in 1976 and still is one. Around 165 power units, roughly 500 trailers and 16 vehicle types — from one-ton trucks to 53-foot tandems — with about 80 trailers based in Calgary, plus a brokerage arm for lanes we don't run ourselves. Most 3PLs are a warehouse with a phone number for freight. We own the equipment, every truck is GPS-tracked, and dispatch runs 24/7. That means the warehouse and the trucking come off one conversation, one invoice, and one company you can hold responsible when something slips. The scale is real: for Dollarama alone we move over 50,000 pallets a year across Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

How onboarding works
From first call to first pallet.
Same process whichever service you start with.
Tell us what you move
Pallet count, how often it turns, what's in it, and where it ships. Five minutes on the form or ten on the phone.
Day 0
We quote it
Storage, handling in and out, container work and freight — every line visible. If the building doesn't fit your product, we say so here rather than later.
Within 48 hours
Walk the floor
Come and see it. Site tours are the fastest way to know whether a building works for you, and we'd rather you looked before you signed.
Your schedule
Credit and agreement
A standard credit check and a signed agreement. No procurement marathon, no five-year lease.
2–3 days
First receipt
Your first inbound is walked by a supervisor, not handed to whoever's on shift. After that it's routine.
Days, not months
FAQ
Transportation in Calgary — questions
Can I use the trucking without the warehouse?
Yes. Plenty of customers only use freight. It's also often how a warehouse conversation starts a year later.
You store dry ambient only, but you truck refrigerated?
Correct, and it's worth saying plainly. We run reefer trucks; we don't run cold storage in Calgary. If you need both, the storage side has to be Vancouver or a partner facility.
