Shipping earlier this 2023, the Speedee team has been focusing on LTL and TL opportunities for shipments from Mexico into the U.S. and Canada. The business development team has secured customers in the food, beverage, and automotive sectors. Speedee arranges for pick-up goods in Mexico, and then coordinates deliveries throughout the U.S. and Canada as part of the CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement).
The team at Speedee is excited to participate in this busy international trade route and is focused on expanding further into the cross-border marketplace with the new business. If you have customers that have regular shipments from Mexico to the rest of North America, contact Melissa Del Rosario at Speedee at [email protected].

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Speedee Transport is stepping up its efforts during the Covid-19 crisis, helping low income and elderly residents in Vancouver’s downtown eastside.
The City of Vancouver has contracted several businesses, including Speedee, to provide regular meal delivery and cleaning services for residents living in 11 non-market housing buildings in the downtown eastside neighborhood.
The city has also set up a website where individuals and businesses can contribute whatever they can to help those in need.
Speedee is providing dedicated transportation services of food and supplies to the 11 buildings, which house approximately 1,000 residents.
“Speedee delivers food to grocery stores across Canada and we know there are many people who have lost their jobs and cannot afford to buy groceries,” said Speedee president Josh Davis. “We feel fortunate to still be in business and feel it’s important we donate money to families in need. We have been looking for opportunities to serve the local community through transporting goods to those in need.”
Speedee makes deliveries four times a week, each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., drivers provide such services as truck, tailgate, and pallet jack, and also help with carrying packages to doorsteps, sidewalks, and alleys.
“Food and cleaning supplies are provided and paid by the City of Vancouver,” Davis explained. “They are using temporary kitchens around the city, and the current place we pick up from is the Langara Golf Course.”
Fraserview Golf Course is also helping in the effort.
Vancouver’s downtown eastside is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, and is known to have several social issues, including poverty, homelessness, and drug use. It is also known to be a close-knit community with ongoing social activism.
Those looking to donate funds or supplies to the City of Vancouver to help those in need can do so by visiting www.giveahandvancouver.ca.
In addition to their efforts helping in the downtown eastside, Speedee is also hosting a virtual food drive, and donating money to support the Greater Vancouver Food Banks.
From the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, Speedee implemented an action plan with three main goals in mind: Keep everyone’s safety and health a top priority; keep everyone employed; and, if fortunate to keep operating, look for ways to give back to people in need.
“So far, we have been able to meet all these goals and we are very proud of it,” said Davis. “We are very thankful to all our staff and drivers who are working very hard to keep the company operating.”

Business in Vancouver’s inaugural BC CTO Awards recognized Loretta Davis (BComm ‘10) as Innovator of the Year for her work as Speedee Transport’s Vice-President and Chief Information Officer. She shares how her experience at UBC Sauder prepared her for her current role, why non-tech people should still try to understand technology, and how students can lay the foundation for their careers while at school.
At Burnaby-based transportation and logistics company Speedee Transport, Loretta Davis has made technology her business. Davis led the development of an in-house software that has helped Speedee grow its revenue and workforce by fiftyfold in just two years.
The software, Go-Speedee, is designed to streamline operations, sales, accounting and administration processes. It minimizes manual data entry, allows for real-time data monitoring, streamlines production of customized reports, and is integrated with the company’s accounting software to avoid duplicating work.
“It’s nice to be recognized for all the hard work you put into your company and your software,” Davis says. “Even though we don’t do it for an award. The point, we think, is to make a difference.”
And the difference isn’t limited to her own company. Due to popular demand, Speedee now plans to license and market its software to other transportation industry players.
For Davis, Vancouver was the perfect place to study and kick-start her career in transportation. She says the skills, networks and experiences she built during her time at UBC Sauder remain relevant for her day-to-day work.
Learning through experience
Davis’s background isn’t in technology, and she says she wouldn’t have described herself as a ‘techie’ when she was younger. But instead of this being a deterrent, she feels it allows her to approach things differently than a computer scientist or traditional developer. “I can always picture how the user will feel, because I’ve been a user myself,” she says.
In fact, while working at Hapag-Lloyd, a global container shipping line, Davis became known as a “superuser” of their internal software system, receiving specialized international training and then being tasked with training others on her team.
Davis says the networking opportunities available during her time in school were key in landing that first job. “While I was at UBC Sauder I joined the Vancouver Transportation Club, and that’s actually how I got my first job, because one of the women in the club worked [at Hapag-Lloyd].”
“Vancouver is not so big a city that you can’t find your own community or meet people. There’s a lot of ways to get involved,” Davis says. “But it’s also not too small either, and in terms of opportunities in the transportation industry it’s great because it’s a major port city.”
Lasting lessons
Davis says another important part of her success in her current role comes from the knowledge and skills she picked up at UBC Sauder in a complementary area: human resources.
“I chose transportation logistics [for my concentration], but I also took a lot of human resources courses because I enjoyed them so much,” she says.
“And those help regardless of the industry you end up in, because they give you tools that help you be a leader in your company. Tools like emotional intelligence, and knowing how to train a team, how to hire people, and all of these things that you need to successfully run a business.”
Davis says one of her favorite courses was led by David C. Bentall and focused on managing family businesses, saying those same skills can be applied to other businesses. “One thing that we learned was succession planning. At Speedee we’re always thinking, ‘Alright, who can we train up to be a supervisor or a manager?’ Because we need to build people up to the next position, and offer them opportunities to grow.”
Everyday innovation
“I try to take care of daily tasks in the morning, just to get them done and then feel like I can just focus on brainstorming,” Davis says. “Then I don’t feel like ‘Oh, I have something else to take care of’ while trying to work with a software team to develop new features or better ways to use the software.”
Davis also says keeping an open and curious mind is an important part of her process. “I read a lot about other software systems or other companies. It doesn’t have to be our industry, it could be any industry that’s doing things differently or that is being innovative.”

Loretta Davis wouldn’t describe her younger self as a “techie” or even as someone particularly interested in gaming.
“We didn’t actually have internet until I was in Grade 9, because we lived outside of the town so there was just no service there,” Davis said. But she soon discovered that she did have an interest in learning how to use the software on her family’s computer, developing a knack for research and experimentation with Microsoft Office. “It’s kind of simple, now that I think about it, but I liked doing stuff on the computer,” she said. Little did Davis know that this “simple” experimentation would mirror the experiences that would lead to her success in her current role as vice-president and chief information officer at Burnaby-based Speedee Transport, a transportation and logistics company. At Speedee, Davis developed in-house software, called Go-Speedee, designed to streamline operations, sales, accounting and administration processes. Go-Speedee minimizes manual data entry, allows for real-time data monitoring, streamlines production of customized reports and is integrated with QuickBooks to allow for accounting processes to avoid duplicating work. The software’s successful implementation helped Speedee grow from two to over 100 employees in just two years, with revenue jumping to over $50 million from $1 million. Davis credits the success of GoSpeedee in part to the extensive experience she and her business partners already had in using other specialized software, and in their continued use of GoSpeedee to better monitor and incorporate design feedback. “It really helps, in developing software, to work with it in the day-to-day,” she said. “I can tell you that without [GoSpeedee], we would not have as much growth as we have today,” said Speedee transportation supervisor Lisa To. “Especially with technology, it takes a great leader to understand the importance of feedback from users in order to modify and create a system that is efficient, user-friendly and, most importantly, that makes our jobs easier.” Davis’ key role in GoSpeedee’s development might seem surprising considering her educational background isn’t focused on programming or computer science. “In a way, sometimes not having a computer science background is good, because I come at it from the user’s point of view,” Davis explained. “I can always picture how the user will feel like, or how they will work with [the software].” After graduating from the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business in 2010 with a degree in commerce, Davis went to work for Hapag-Lloyd, a global container shipping line. Over the next five years, she trained on its internal software system and became a “superuser” with international training, making her responsible for training others in her team. “I just picked it up really quickly, and I liked how you could do so many things with this system – just all of the things it could do to replace manual work. That’s when I realized I really love doing things like that,” Davis said. This user-centric knowledge of competitor software allowed Davis and her team to focus on developing a customized solution for Speedee when the time called for it. “We did try other software in the industry, and we found that didn’t fully meet our needs,” she said. “We knew if we wanted to be No. 1, to succeed, we had to develop something customized that would help us scale quickly.” After her years as a dedicated user and trainer with other programs, Davis was particularly aware of the importance of making Speedee’s own software easy to pick up and to use even by technologically inexperienced workers or those with little experience in the transportation and logistics industry. This commitment has paid off in more ways than one. Besides fuelling Speedee’s success, the software has attracted the interest of a number of transportation, logistics and warehousing companies, which are testing it for their own use. In response to that demand, Speedee rebranded its software for external use as GoLily – named after Davis’ daughter, whom she credits as her inspiration and joy. The company plans to license and market it to the broader industry in the near future. “It can help them just like it helped us,” Davis said.• |

An MBA Built On Academic Rigour and
Practical Business Relevance
Practical Business Relevance
As organizations and businesses expand further into a hyper-competitive marketplace, so too has the need for leaders who cultivate significant, far-reaching impact—and who do so ethically and morally. Trinity Western University (TWU) produces such leaders—and ensures values and ethics are embedded in their ethos to form an important element of everything they do.
When you earn your MBA from TWU, which underpins a framework of Christian principles and faith-infused learning, you'll be prepared for career advancement, new entrepreneurial ventures, consulting and more. As you hone your business skills with a service-first approach, you'll gain strategic leadership prowess and build analytical competencies to successfully navigate real-world business.
In addition to fundamental business proficiencies, the MBA also provides a platform for developing a suite of less tangible, but highly valued skills—such as critical thinking, so students will be effective in a leadership role in developing solutions to cope with today's business paradigm.
"What we try and attain with our students is practical excellence," says Mark Lee, director of MBA programs, professor of strategic management for TWU. "We make sure we're helping these people get ready for executive leadership in an organization so that they understand the practical and real-life issues they'll face. From an academic perspective, we want to ensure we are stretching them for excellence."
Trinity's MBA program offers three concentration options, allowing you to align your studies with your career goals: Management of the Growing Enterprise, Non-Profit and Charitable Organization Management, and International Business.
Lee teaches strategic management, which focuses on competitive strategy at the corporate and business unit level, and helps students to develop skills to identify issues and properly address them. "We tell them it's not enough to point out a problem as an MBA grad—you need to find three to four solutions."
The ability to explore a problem from multiple perspectives, to reframe it, and push through to actionable solutions is a concept not lost on Daryl Ee, Trinity MBA graduate and executive director of Burnaby's Speedee Transport, an arm of the delivery company Rolls Right established in 1976 by his father.
Ee launched his career in the family company in 2001 as a truck driver and moved up the ranks to president and CEO. In 2007 he developed Speedee Transport to make a positive difference in Western Canada's logistics industry.
Ee began his MBA, specializing in strategic planning and business development, during his 15th year in business. "The MBA gave us an improved vocabulary for discussing strategies with the team, vendors and customers," says Ee. "It provided better concepts, which we were able to apply immediately and allowed me to think more clearly about business principles and analysis."
Moving forward, one of Ee's strategies is to continue to create a strong customer-centric component in their growth.

Speedee is proud to announce CNG/LNG Automobiles in Speedee Fleets
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tends to corrode and wear the parts of an engine less rapidly than gasoline. Thus it is quite common to find diesel-engine NGVs with high mileages (over 500,000 miles). CNG also emits 20-29% less CO2 than diesel and gasoline. Emissions are cleaner, with lower emissions of carbon and lower particulate emissions per equivalent distance traveled. There is generally less wasted fuel. However, cost (monetary, environmental, pre-existing infrastructure) of distribution, compression, cooling must be taken into account.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) provides fleet owners with a domestically sourced fuel that burns dramatically cleaner than diesel or gasoline, represents an abundant viable fuel [with historically stable pricing], and reduces dependence on foreign oil. Sustainability also means that CNG fuel – and its main component, methane, can be captured at our nation’s landfills, cleaned, and reintroduced into the pipelines

In Vancouver, British Columbia, “But also capacity has been tight for the last few years.” Americold is optimistic about the future of the warehouse industry, Henderson said. “The storage industry has a positive outlook as population growth, stock keeping unit proliferation and customer demands all continue to increase,” she said. “We’re continually evaluating opportunities to expand and optimize our portfolio to best serve the needs of current and future customers.” In documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Americold listed $1.2 billion in potential expansion projects and said it expects to benefit from a trend toward outsourcing by food producers, distributors and retailers. The company also sees new business opportunity from pharmaceutical, floral and chemical products. Americold stock on Jan. 19 concluded its first day of trading on the Nasdaq National Market, under the symbol COLD, at $17.50 a share.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Speedee Transport has released a new software it says will maximize scheduling efficiency and minimize shipment.
SpeedeeGo Trucking Dispatch comes with EDI integration capabilities, live GPS tracking, automated reporting, electronic signature capture, and real-time dispatch updates.
