Canada Cartage Acquires Coastal Pacific Xpress (CPX)

Canada Cartage has acquired Coastal Pacific Xpress (CPX) based out of Surrey, British Columbia. 

Founded in 1986, CPX has grown to be one of Western Canada’s most well-known and reputable temperature-sensitive carriers.  They provide refrigerated full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL), along with cold storage warehouses and cross-dock operations in Surrey and Calgary.  They also provide a small brokerage service for any overflow of loads.  The company has a mix of company drivers and owner-operators, and almost 600 refrigerated trailer units.

Like Canada Cartage, CPX provides services to customers in the grocery and food sectors.  CPX’s Western Canada services in temperature-sensitive transportation are a great fit with our existing Speedee Transport business in B.C. and Alberta.  Combined with Canada Cartage’s expertise in dedicated grocery and food deliveries, the acquisition of CPX creates a national solution for customers requiring temperature-sensitive transportation.
