TOP CHOICE FOR QUALITY AND SERVICE

en years ago, Ashley Eide was a marketing and management student at SAIT and moonlighting as a rodeo princess for Airdrie and Cochrane. The two aspects of her life came together to shape her future over something as simple as shopping for a horse trailer. Her negative experience with dealers showed her there was a gap in the industry that she knew she could fill.

“I saw how I was treated as a female in the industry and that people weren’t knowledgeable about their products, so I set out to do better,” says Ashley Eide, owner of Light Speed Trailers. She started Light Speed Trailers in Langdon just east of Calgary with a line of horse trailers and quickly expanded her catalogue to include equipment trailers and toy haulers. She offers some of the best products on the market to ensure clients roll away happy. Light Speed carries a variety of unique, quality products ranging from Canadian-made Precision Equipment trailers to a polymer plastic-covered wood fencing called Woodguard, custom horse trailers to ATV haulers.

“We strive to have the Best products in the industry and try to keep on the cutting edge... We also try to go above and beyond with our service to make sure we’ve met our customer’s needs.” The dealership is on her property so she takes after-hours appointments to ensure the process is convenient for customers. She also listens to what customers need their unit to do and helps them find the best fit, whether that is with a trailer from an established product line or a completely customizable factory order.

Light Speed has also started carrying Jumping Jack utility trailers. These three-in-one units are a combination of tent and trailer, offering a great solution for weekend warriors seeking a convenient travel solution. “It’s a neat trailer. It’s a pop-up tent trailer that you can load your quads on top of when the tent is folded up, and you can remove the tent completely and use it as a utility trailer,” she says.

Light Speed Trailers continues to grow its product lines, adding innovative and high-quality trailers at competitive prices. Ten years ago, Ashley Eide set out to do better, and with great service, knowledgeable people and quality trailers, it’s clear she has done just that.

Light Speed also carries Great Northern trailers, a full line of equipment trailers featuring a sliding axle gooseneck that makes loading safe and easy. The versatile
