Gulzar Transport: Promising the perfect ride

14 Jul, 2017 11:56 AM

    Gulzar Transport is popularly known as one of the top trucking companies in Delta and the Lower Mainland.

     
    Trucks always interested Satnam Singh (Lally) since a young age; in fact he dreamt of owning a truck company someday. Upon migrating to Canada in 1991, he worked as a truck driver for other companies but his focus always remained on starting his own company. This dream came true in 2003 when Sidhu opened his trucking company, Gulzar Transport Inc. 
     
    “My father used to own a trucking company back in my home country, India. So this was always my first choice to continue my father legacy,” says the founder and director of Gulzar Transport, whose wife helped turn this vision into reality. Today, Gulzar Transport is popularly known as one of the top trucking companies in Delta and the Lower Mainland.
     
    Gulzar Transport specializes in hauling containers, b-train loads, reefers, step decks, tractors, and dry vans all over Canada and in the US. “We provide transportation services in the Lower Mainland to our export and import customers. We have a container storage and reloading facility. We have three yards which we use for container storage and lumber reloading with two top pick machines at Gulzar Transport,” adds Sidhu, highlighting the services. The company, which started with only two trucks and four drivers, now has a fleet currently consisting of 350 chassis, including 20ft, 40ft, 45ft units and 45-53ft dry vans and 30 reefers, 10 step decks with 85 company-owned and owner operator tractors capable of pulling up to GVW 63,000, and a team of more than 130 employees. Sidhu is quick to add that this growth was not an overnight process. “This is the result of lots of hard work done by everyone who belongs to this company.”
     
    One of the main reasons for the successful growth of Gulzar Transport is the team’s strong emphasis on providing their clients with convenience, reliability and affordability through premium services. “Our main object is to provide best service to our customers,” asserts Sidhu. Gulzar Transport thrives on meeting their customers’ needs and providing them with reliable and timely service. “Nowadays meeting the deadline and getting the things delivered right on time is a big key factor, and that’s what we specialize in,” says Sidhu, pointing out the primary feature that sets Gulzar Transport apart from the rest.
     
     
     
    In the fast paced automobile industry, Gulzar Transport has managed to sustain and grow by continuously updating the company and its team on the latest trends present in the market and the requirements of the customers. Sidhu aims at providing the best services to his clients by maintaining the quality of his automobiles and upgrading to the latest models. 
     
    Gulzar Transport is a bonded Canadian/C-T PAT approved carrier and all equipment is maintained in top condition according to government specifications by the service staff on site. “We always believe in a safe work environment and to ensure this, we have membership/subscription of multiple kinds of automobile industries. We regularly attend all the ports/shipping line meetings to learn about the new changes and latest models,” states Sidhu.
     
    Besides Gulzar Transport, Sidhu is the proud owner of two other trucking companies, Jet Speed Transport Ltd. (2006), and Triple S Logistics (2015); a mechanic shop, Long Haul, Triple S Truck & Tire (2015), Gulzar Investment (2006); and the recently-establishedcontainer storage outlet, Gulzar Terminals (2017). 
     
    It is Sidhu’s passion and wife’s hard work that has taken the company and its team to the top level. To sum it up, Sidhu says that extensive experience, professional staff, and the use of latest technology have been major contributors to the success of Gulzar Transport.
     
    Make Gulzar Transport your number one trucking company and experience top quality service and a smooth ride.
