Russell Freightways has been purchased by Speedee Rolls Right. Russell Freightways provides LTL and FTL services to Vancouver Island and Calgary, Alta.
Russell Freightways’ owner Bruce Russell was looking to make a transition, while Speedee Rolls Right was planning to obtain a better stronghold for deliveries to Vancouver Island, making the acquisition a win for both sides.
The purchase adds 40 units to Speedee’s fleet, and the Vancouver-based company was able to integrate Russell Freightways into its electronic platform.
Speedee Rolls Right’s long-term vision with the purchase is to provide its combined customer base with more multi-modal options and extra coverage.
