When a move is a whole program

Some moves are programs rather than single loads: national store rollouts, fixture installations, event activations and large one-off relocations. They involve dozens of pickups, strict sequencing, vendor-compliance windows and many stakeholders. Rolls Right runs the whole program.

We coordinate freight for Dollarama, Best Buy, Coca-Cola and Shoppers Drug Mart. Behind each program is our asset-based fleet of 165+ power units and 500+ trailers, with dedicated account management and 24/7 dispatch.

Project work out of Vancouver and Calgary

Project and event freight runs from Vancouver and Calgary, with our own trucks on the lane between them six days a week.

A project usually needs more than a truck: somewhere to stage the freight before the date, and a way to get it back afterwards. Both hubs have dock and floor space attached, so the staging and the move come from the same company.

10 years moving TED in Vancouver

Rolls Right has moved TED Vancouver for over 10 years. Step decks bring in the staging, flooring, beams, lighting and furniture that become the stage you see on screen. Load-in starts weeks before the first talk, and load-out begins while the audience is still posting from the closing session.

The equipment has to arrive in sequence, at the right dock and at the right hour. If the flooring shows up after the lighting rig, the build stops, and the show still starts on time.

Project logistics questions

What counts as project-based logistics?

Any move that is more than one shipment: national retail rollouts, events, installations and large one-off programs with several pickups, strict sequencing, compliance windows and stakeholders.

Can you handle enterprise-scale, multi-stop programs?

Yes. We run time-sequenced programs for major national brands, with our own fleet and account management behind them.

Do I get one accountable point of contact?

Yes. Dedicated account management gives you one contact for pickups, scheduling, equipment, compliance and reporting.

How do I start an enterprise logistics project?

Call (604) 298-0080 or request a quote with the program scope, locations and timing, and we will build the plan.
