Dear Customer,

As we begin 2026, R.R. Plett Trucking is proud to start the year strong, focused on growth, reliability, and continued investment in the lanes that matter most to our customers. With demand increasing across Western Canada, we are pleased to share that capacity is available for freight moving from Vancouver into Alberta and Saskatchewan, with extended reach into Manitoba.

For nearly 50 years (established in 1978), RR Plett Trucking has supported shippers, importers, and exporters with dependable transportation solutions built on experience, assets, and operational excellence. What began as a local trucking operation has grown into a fully integrated logistics provider with deep expertise at the Port of Vancouver and a strong long-haul footprint across Western Canada.

End-to-End Coverage You Can Rely On

Our strength lies in combining local port and rail drayage expertise with reliable long-haul execution. From the moment your container is discharged at the terminal to final delivery at destination, our team manages each move with precision and accountability.

We currently support freight movements from Vancouver into:

  • Calgary & Edmonton

  • Saskatoon & Regina

  • Winnipeg and surrounding regions

This integrated approach allows us to reduce handoffs, improve transit reliability, and provide consistent service even during peak periods.

Our Core Services

R.R. Plett Trucking offers a full suite of transportation and logistics solutions designed to scale with your business:

  • Local Vancouver port & rail drayage (CP & CN)

  • Pre-pull and container staging from our Port Kells yard

  • Long-haul FCL services into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba

  • Reefer and dry container expertise (20’ & 40’)

  • Warehousing, transloading, and cross-dock services

  • Sustainable transportation options through our electric drayage fleet

  • Full shipment visibility via the PortPro customer portal

Whether you require direct port-to-destination service, yard-staged deliveries, or a broader Western Canada distribution strategy, our team is equipped to support your operation.

Sustainability in Action

Sustainability continues to be a key focus in 2026. RR Plett Trucking operates an electric drayage fleet for local Vancouver moves, helping customers reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. This initiative supports customer ESG goals and contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable port environment.

Technology & Visibility

We utilize PortPro, a modern drayage and visibility platform that provides customers with:

  • Real-time container tracking

  • Live GPS updates

  • Digital documents and PODs

  • Proactive communication and improved planning

The result is fewer delays, clearer communication, and a more predictable supply chain.

Looking Ahead

As volumes increase and supply chains continue to evolve, RR Plett Trucking remains committed to delivering reliable capacity, transparent communication, and competitive pricing. Our experienced team, asset-based fleet, and customer-first mindset ensure your freight is always handled with care.

If you are moving freight out of Vancouver and require dependable capacity into Alberta or Saskatchewan, now is the time to connect.
