Pro-Ex Transport Systems

What Pro-Ex Transport Systems does

Pro-Ex Transport Systems Ltd. is a family-owned and privately held Canadian trucking carrier headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia. Founded in 2012 with two trucks operating a Vancouver–Calgary lane, the company has grown to a fleet of more than 100 trucks and 200 trailers (300+ pieces of equipment total), driven approximately 9 million miles per year, and accumulated over 200,000 deliveries. It operates two service arms: a Western Canada Fleet providing dedicated daily lane coverage between Calgary, Kelowna, and Vancouver for BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan destinations, and a National Fleet serving all points in North America. Its equipment mix centers on tandem and tridem dry vans, including temperature-controlled (heated) trailers used to protect beer, wine, and other temperature-sensitive cargo through Canadian winters.

The company's core service lines are dry van freight, heated/temperature-controlled van service, full truckload (FTL) dedicated capacity, and scheduled or recurring pickup arrangements. On the technology side, Pro-Ex deploys ELD and satellite-based fleet tracking — supplied at no cost to owner operators — and integrates with third-party freight visibility platforms Macropoint and FourKites for real-time shipment tracking. It carries C-TPAT, SmartWay, and Partners in Protection (PIP) certifications that position it for cross-border and enterprise freight. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis through quote-driven pricing for FTL shipments, with rates varying by equipment type, temperature requirements, and lane.

Commercially, Pro-Ex sells directly through its website quote form, toll-free phone line, and email, with no intermediaries, brokers, or third-party logistics resellers in the disclosed distribution model. Its primary customer segments are beverage and food suppliers (breweries, wineries, food producers) and general freight shippers (palletized goods, consumer products, electronics), with secondary segments including enterprise shippers requiring dedicated capacity and recurring shippers on scheduled Western Canada routes. The company actively recruits both company drivers and owner operators across BC, Alberta, the Pacific Northwest USA, and cross-border Canada-USA lanes. Customer concentration is anchored by a publicly featured relationship with Sleeman Retail Store and at least one other enterprise Just-in-Time customer.
