What Tandet Group does

Tandet Group is a privately held, diversified transportation, equipment, and power generation company headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, with operations across North America. Founded in the early 1980s, the group operates through approximately ten wholly-owned subsidiaries and brands, including Tandet Logistics (bulk product delivery serving chemical, aggregate, agriculture, and food industries), Tandet Dedicated (fleet management), Connell Transport (sensitive loads), ShipNorthAmerica Networks (freight management linking shippers and carriers), Canxxus (managed fleet maintenance and 24/7 roadside assistance across U.S. and Canada), Tandet Equipment Solutions (fleet maintenance, repair, leasing, rental, and sales), Tandet Industrial, RG Transportation, Loadmasters, T-Fleet, and T4Power (power generation). The company employs 251-500 people and targets enterprise customers requiring asset-based trucking, dedicated fleets, freight brokerage, and equipment lifecycle services.

The technology stack is described as "state-of-the-art" fleet management and logistics systems for tracking, communicating, and reporting on operations; ISO 9001 quality standards are maintained across all divisions. The company has accumulated a multi-decade safety record, including the 2017 NTTC Grand Safety Award for zero reported incidents and 10+ consecutive years of Top Fleet Employer recognition, and is a member of the Ontario Trucking Association/Canadian Trucking Alliance, where it co-promotes fuel-efficiency and emissions-reduction initiatives.

Tandet generates revenue through a mix of transaction-based transportation fees (truckload, bulk logistics, freight management) and managed-services contracts (dedicated fleet management, equipment maintenance and leasing, roadside assistance). The go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct enterprise outreach via a toll-free number, the corporate website, and individual business-unit landing pages, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer base is horizontal across industrial and commercial fleets, with no named disclosed end customers, and quote-based enterprise contracting.
