Transportation & Freight in Vancouver, the short version
Our own trucks out of the Lower Mainland: roughly 165 power units and 500 trailers, running since 1976, with a daily line haul to Calgary. Most companies the market calls a 3PL hand your freight to somebody else. We own the equipment, so the warehouse and the trucking come off one conversation and one invoice.

FAQ
Transportation in Vancouver, questions
Do I have to use your trucking to store here?
No. Plenty of customers use one or the other. But the freight is where a lot of the value sits: one company handling storage and transport means one invoice and nobody to point at when something slips.
Can you deliver into retail DCs?
Regularly. National grocery, general merchandise and apparel retailers, on scheduled appointments. We know how the appointment systems work and we treat the window as a hard commitment.
What is on the full transportation menu?
Broader than warehousing customers usually need: flat deck, heavy haul, bulk tanker, rail intermodal and more. The full list lives on the main Rolls Right site.
