RIGEL · MB PLATE Company equipment, company driver.

Asset-based

Your freight rides on Rigel trailers with Rigel drivers. No hand-offs to a stranger's truck.

30-minute tender response

Rate, equipment, lane and timing confirmed back within half an hour of the tender.

Cross-border ready

PARS and PAPS handled before the truck reaches the border, both directions.

Same-day paperwork

BOL, POD and customs documents forwarded the day they are signed.

Services

Three ways freight moves with Rigel.

Every service below runs on Rigel equipment. The examples are real lanes, not placeholders.

01

Truckload

Regional, long-haul and cross-border truckload on 53-foot dry vans and reefers, with dedicated equipment for repeat lanes.

Example

Weekly Winnipeg to Brampton dry van runs with dedicated equipment and fixed transit times. Same driver pool, same dispatch contact, same answer on every call.

02

Multi-stop and consolidation

Pickups across several shippers consolidated onto one trailer, with the delivery appointment confirmed at the receiver before the truck leaves.

Example

Two Manitoba shippers picked up the same morning, consolidated to one trailer, single delivery appointment confirmed in advance.

03

Specialized freight

Oversize, time-critical or handling-sensitive freight on flatdeck and step deck, planned in detail before dispatch.

Example

Oversized machinery to a job site with appointment, escort routing and unloading coordination handled before the truck leaves the yard.
