Rainbow Transport

About Us

For communities and companies in Northern Alberta and British Columbia, Rainbow Transport (1974) Ltd. is a lifeline. Rainbow Transport has been serving northern communities with overnight general freight and truckload transportation service from major centres in the south since 1974. Rainbow has consistently grown and expanded due to customers demanding this lifeline service to more and more locations throughout the remote regions of the north. Heated and refrigerated service, truckload service, flatbed service - driven by customer demand, Rainbow Transport provides regularly scheduled pickups and deliveries throughout Alberta and North Eastern British Columbia.

Rainbow Transport was founded by Arthur Schneider in 1974. Together with his wife and children, they worked hard to serve their expanding customer base. They added trucks, drivers and terminals consistently as customer demand grew. Their sons, Wes and Wayne, became full time employees after graduating from business school and were instrumental in the expansion of Rainbow Transport. Today Wes Schneider continues on as the president of Rainbow.

Rainbow has over 285 employees, more than 300 pieces of equipment and 14 strategically positioned terminals, Rainbow Transport is equipped to directly handle all of our customer demands throughout our service region of Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. We look forward to answering any transportation requirements our customers might have today as we develop relationships with new and current customers.

In addition to our direct service points, we now offer transportation service anywhere in North America through our parent company, Manitoulin Transport. In fact, with our new affiliation with the Manitoulin group of companies, we offer transportation solutions around the world, either over the road, by sea or air.
