December 1st marked 20 years since we first opened in Canada with a small team of 15 trucks and 20 employees. After 20 years, we have now grown to 250 employees and 95 trucks! November 16th was 15 years to the day since we officially expanded into the U.S market, beginning with the Pacific Northwest. Thank you to our hard-working staff and amazing customers for helping us reach where we are today; we are so grateful for you! Stay tuned as we continue growing our team, our services & products, and our facilities (beginning with our new headquarters under construction in Surrey, BC). See you in another 20!
