About

We deliver more than cargo

Transport R. Pomerleau is a team that chose to do things differently: talk straight, answer fast, and treat every load as if it were our own.

Our story

From an entrepreneurs’ project to a Canada-wide carrier

In 2022, Bruno Jacques founded Groupe Rapido Inc. to reinvent moving, handling and transport services. Three years later, the team acquired Transport R. Pomerleau.

What we found in the transport industry was plenty of big players, and plenty of customers waiting three days for a price, not knowing where their freight was, and speaking to a different person every time they called.

We built the opposite. You talk to the dispatcher. You get your price in minutes. You track your load in real time. And the same person stays on your file from the first call to delivery.

The team

Who answers when you call

No call centre. Five people who know your file and who decide on the spot.

Bruno Jacques, Founder, Groupe Rapido

Bruno Jacques

Founder, Groupe Rapido

A promising real estate investor, Bruno founded Groupe Rapido Inc. in 2022 with the goal of reinventing moving, handling and transport services. In 2024, he acquired Transport R. Pomerleau and moved the company into the road transport industry.

Cédrick Lessard, General manager

Cédrick Lessard

General manager

A young entrepreneur, Cédrick joined Groupe Rapido Inc. in 2022. In 2024 he took on his biggest challenge yet, running the operations of Transport R. Pomerleau, before becoming general manager. He now oversees everything the company does: service standards, the partner carrier network, and the files that fall outside the usual (oversize loads, tight deadlines, sites that are hard to reach). His rule is simple: a decision gets made the same day, not at the next meeting.

Loïc Lafond, Dispatch

Loïc Lafond

Dispatch

On dispatch, Loïc turns a request into a load that rolls: he picks the carrier and the trailer the piece calls for, sets the pickup and the delivery, then follows the truck through to its destination. When something goes sideways (a delay at loading, weather, site access tighter than expected), he is the one who calls back with a solution rather than an excuse.

Nathan Bolduc, Dispatch

Nathan Bolduc

Dispatch

Nathan works on dispatch: he takes the requests, finds the carrier that suits the piece, confirms dimensions and weight before the price is set, then follows the load through to delivery. He is also the one who comes back to you with a real arrival time when the road does not go to plan.

Janie Gagné, Administrative assistant

Janie Gagné

Administrative assistant

Janie handles everything that follows the load: bills of lading, transport documents, proofs of delivery, invoicing and file follow-up. She is the person to reach for an invoice, an insurance document or a written confirmation, and she answers the same day. A well-documented file avoids disputes, and she is the one who makes sure of it.

Our values

What we will not compromise on

Safety above all

For the freight and for our drivers. A well-prepared load is a load that arrives.

Transparency

A clear price up front and real-time updates during transport. No surprises on arrival.

The relationship

One dedicated contact per file. You never have to start your story over on each call.

Speed

Small team, fast decisions. There are no three layers of approval before we get back to you.

One call is enough to know whether we are the right carrier for your load.
