Transport Red Mill — Our story

Built in Mauricie.
Trusted across the corridor.

A family-owned carrier that grew from a single truck in the Red Mill sector to a 19-unit fleet serving the Quebec–Ontario corridor.

1998
First Load

Roland Gauthier registers Transport Red Mill Inc. with a single Kenworth W900 and starts hauling lumber for local sawmills in the Cap-de-la-Madeleine area.

2005
Ontario Corridor Opens

First cross-provincial run to Kingston and Toronto. The Quebec–Ontario corridor becomes the backbone of our operations — and still is today.

2019
Reefer Fleet Added

Three Thermo King refrigerated trailers added to serve the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Cold chain certification obtained from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

2002
Flatbed Division

Two 48-foot flatbeds join the fleet to handle structural steel contracts from Trois-Rivières manufacturing plants. CTQ permit #R-6214 obtained.

2012
Terminal Expansion

New 1 800 m² transit warehouse built on Route du Moulin-Rouge. In-house maintenance shop opens, reducing downtime and keeping the fleet in top shape year-round.

2024
Digital Dispatch

Full electronic dispatch platform launched — real-time GPS tracking, electronic bills of lading, and the client portal give shippers complete visibility on every load.
