We Handle the Deliveries That Don’t Fit in a Van
When most people think “courier,” they picture envelopes and small packages. At RS Express, we handle the stuff that won’t fit in a cargo van—full pallets, awkward machinery, oversized crates, and anything else that needs a tailgate; tractor trailer; or a flat deck.
Since 2010, RS Express has specialized in deliveries that complicate other businesses’ days. We complete approximately 160,000 deliveries annually for over 575 clients across Manitoba. If you’ve ever spent half a day loading up your truck, driving across the city, waiting at a receiving dock, and driving back—you know exactly why businesses call us.
Why Size Matters When Choosing a Courier
Delivering a pallet isn’t like dropping off an envelope. You need the right truck with proper deck height, a pallet jack, straps to secure everything, and someone who knows how to navigate tight loading docks during rush hour.
We regularly see new clients who were spending 12+ hours per week on deliveries—time their crew could have been working on their actual jobs. After switching to scheduled pickups with RS Express, they reclaim those hours entirely and increase their productivity.
When you work with a courier that specializes in larger deliveries, you hand off that entire headache. We schedule the pickup around your timing, load and secure everything properly, coordinate with the receiver, and get proof of delivery back to you—all while your team keeps working.
What We Actually Move (and How We Do It)
RS Express handles full pallets, partial pallets, long items like racking or trim, and bulky equipment. We deliver to loading docks and ground-level sites all over Winnipeg and surrounding communities.
Our fleet of 60 vehicles includes multiple combinations of cars for urgent runs,vans for smaller freight, five-ton trucks for mid-size loads, and tractors for larger shipments. With an in-house team of mechanics, our vehicles are reliable, and properly maintained.
Here’s how we keep things running smoothly: We wrap and strap every pallet before it goes out. Everything is labeled clearly. If you need tailgate service, inside delivery, or a specific appointment time, it is entered on the call so the right truck shows up at the right time. For deliveries that need extra documentation—photos, chain of custody, driver signatures—our advanced systems track everything.
As an RPM Trucking Industry Safety Certified carrier and authorized for Transportation of Dangerous Goods, we maintain the highest safety and compliance standards.
Real Client Results
Our automotive client, which oversees multiple brands, depends on RS Express as an extension of their parts department. We ensure timely deliveries to their extensive customer base, who are awaiting essential parts to return vehicles to the road. They’ve recognized the value of enlisting professionals, allowing them to concentrate on their core business operations.
As one operations manager told us: “KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING IT WORKS.”
Another client, a distributor restocking stores twice weekly, used to juggle schedules and rack up overtime. Now they book regular delivery windows, and we handle both stores in sequence. They’ve eliminated overtime entirely while improving delivery consistency.
Getting Started and What to Expect
Tell us where you pick up, where you typically deliver, your usual product sizing, volume and weights. We build a plan that matches your volume—daily windows or ad hoc runs, whatever works for you.
You’ll see status updates from start to finish. If weather or road closures slow things down, we send you a revised ETA and adjust the route. Your receiver gets the same updates, which means fewer calls asking “where’s my delivery?”
As a purchasing administrator from one of our clients shared: “We are happy with the service and the fact you are locally operated.”
We’ve been a locally owned, family-run business for over 32 years, with customers that have been with us since day one. We strive to achieve our promise of “Delivering on your promises.”
