Fast Trucking Service Ltd

What Fast Trucking Service Ltd does

Fast Trucking Service Ltd is a Saskatchewan-based oilfield trucking and rig moving company founded by Tony Day in 1956/1957 in Carnduff, where he purchased a 1955 Chevy water truck to haul fresh water to drilling rigs. Over six decades the company has grown into an integrated oilfield services operator running a fleet of 85 trucks — bed trucks, winch tractors, gin pole trucks, boom trucks with 30-50 ton cranes, 40-ton knuckle pickers, 6x6 and 8x8 all-terrain floaters, and an extensive trailer inventory — alongside a 41,000 sq ft maintenance shop in Carnduff and a six-rig well servicing fleet operated through subsidiary General Well Servicing. The company also owns Day Construction (formed 1979) for lease construction, site prep and cleanup, and has expanded via two tuck-in acquisitions: Sam's Trucking (2004) and Stage Oilfield Hauling (2020).

The business serves oil and gas exploration and production companies operating in southeast Saskatchewan, with three office/dispatch locations (Carnduff headquarters, Swift Current, Estevan). Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis through direct sales — quotes are routed through dedicated bids/quotes contacts and services are contracted directly to operators requiring rig moves, heavy equipment hauling and well servicing. Pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed; billing runs on multi-year contracts.

The company is family-owned and closely held, with no external institutional investors or public listing. Day family members (Dennis and Larry, founders' sons) occupy management roles, supported by Darwin and Laurie in the Carnduff office. Energy Safety Canada C.O.R. certification, ISNetworld and Complyworks registrations, and a 'Satisfactory Audited' carrier profile are maintained as pre-qualification for major oil and gas customers. Marketing is conducted through direct relationships and industry events such as the Weyburn Oil Show; the company carries no app, no API, and operates with traditional phone/email dispatch.

Emerging players

• Iron Horse Energy Services: Canadian oilfield services and logistics company providing fluid hauling, equipment transportation, and rig moving services. Emerging peer in Canadian oilfield trucking with overlapping service offerings to Fast Trucking, though typically operating at smaller scale and with less differentiated specialty fleet equipment.

Direct peers

• Stallion Oilfield Services: US-based oilfield logistics and services provider operating a fleet of vehicles supporting drilling, completions, and production in major US shale basins. Directly comparable business model to Fast Trucking as a fleet-based oilfield logistics provider with on-site mobile units and crew deployment, though at considerably larger scale and geographic scope.
• Badger Daylighting: Canadian-headquartered oilfield services provider specializing in hydrovac and non-destructive excavation, primarily serving energy and industrial customers. Comparable to Fast Trucking as a Canadian oilfield services fleet operator that delivers specialized equipment and crews to upstream operators, though focused on excavation rather than rig moving.
• High Arctic Energy Services: Canadian oilfield services company providing rig moving, equipment hauling, wellsite accommodations, and production services. Similar integrated oilfield services offering to Fast Trucking, serving Canadian upstream operators with a fleet-based delivery model, though with broader geographic reach including the Northern US and international markets.
• NCSG Crane & Heavy Haul: Canadian provider of crane rental, specialized heavy haul trucking, and rigging services to industrial and energy customers. Closely comparable to Fast Trucking's heavy-haul, gin pole, and crane-bearing rig moving capabilities, with similar fleet-based delivery across Western Canada.
• Caron Transportation Systems: Western Canadian specialized heavy-haul and crane trucking operator focused on oversized and overweight loads. Direct peer to Fast Trucking's heavy-haul and specialized trucking capability, though serving a broader set of industries beyond oil and gas.
• Key Energy Services: US oilfield services company providing rig relocation, heavy haul, fluid transportation, and wellsite services to upstream operators. Closest direct peer to Fast Trucking in terms of rig moving and heavy-haul offerings, though operating primarily in US basins rather than Canada.

Broad incumbents

• Trican Well Service: Major Canadian pressure pumping and oilfield services company serving upstream operators across Western Canada. Comparable as a major Canadian oilfield services incumbent that purchases heavy haul and rig moving services from operators like Fast Trucking, though operating in a different service segment.
• Mullen Group: Large publicly traded Canadian conglomerate providing transportation, logistics, and oilfield services across Western Canada. Overlaps with Fast Trucking through oilfield hauling and rig moving in Saskatchewan/Alberta, but operates a much broader portfolio including LTL freight, warehousing, and fluid hauling.
• Precision Drilling: Largest Canadian drilling rig contractor and significant purchaser of rig moving and heavy haul services. While a customer rather than direct competitor to Fast Trucking, Precision represents the dominant buyer in the same Saskatchewan market and shapes demand for Fast Trucking's core rig-moving services.
