the pinnacle story

From Complex Moves to Complete Solutions

Pinnacle Logistics was built to solve the hardest problems in freight. We started in project cargo, but today we help clients manage risk, reduce costs, and move smarter – from the earliest stages of planning to the final mile.

No room for guesswork

HOW WE GOT HERE.

2017
Bridging the Gap

Pinnacle was founded to fill a critical gap in the logistics world — the space between traditional 3PLs and highly specialized, asset-based carriers. Our founders came from both sides of the industry, combining technical know-how with the flexibility of a brokerage. The result? A smarter, more capable logistics partner.

2018-2019
Execution at Scale

We quickly gained traction in the wind energy sector, delivering massive loads under pressure. Permits, police escorts, hydro clearances - we handled the details others couldn’t touch. Clients took notice, projects got bigger.

 

2020
National Recognition

That momentum paid off. Pinnacle was named one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies by Maclean’s Magazine. But we knew the wind industry had its cycles - and we needed a foundation that could weather them.

2020-2023
Industry Expansion

We expanded into new verticals: mining, nuclear, modular construction, manufacturing, and oil & gas. Our approach stayed the same - get involved early, think strategically, and execute flawlessly. We didn’t just move freight. We helped projects succeed.

2023
Global Reach

To better serve our clients worldwide, we joined the WCA Project Cargo Division and built international agent relationships. Whether the job is in Ontario or overseas, we’re ready.

2024
Supply Chain Services Launched

Project cargo is in our DNA - but supply chain support is a big part of our future. In 2024, we launched a division focused on upstream planning, manufacturing logistics, and long-term client integration. The goal: more value, less volatility.

Today, we’re proud to be more than a service provider.

We’re a team. A team of thinkers, doers, and problem-solvers - each one committed to raising the bar, one shipment at a time.

Because getting it right doesn’t happen by chance.

world class experience

Industries served

Without a doubt, our combined expertise distinguishes Pinnacle from the competition. But it’s how we organize this world-class knowledge and bring it to market that truly separates us. 

That separation, in turn, gives Pinnacle both the confidence and the latitude to service a wide and ever-evolving range of industry verticals.
