H&R - A Family run business

How It All Started

H&R Transport began in 1955, hauling fruit and produce out of the Okanagan Valley to the Prairies. The company was eventually purchased outright by Al Foder in 1974, a former owner/operator of a firm that the ambitious trucker eventually built into an international operation.

Now headed by Al's son, D'Arcy Foder (the president and CEO), the company has 465 trucks, 700 refrigerated road trailers, 550 inter-modal refrigerated containers, and 700 employees.

  1. Can you please explain why so many drivers leave after a very short time with H&R. Either within weeks of getting out on the road or as some as they get their residency?

  6. Nice little website you have here Lyndon. Very informative and helpful to any new drivers. I worked for H and R for 5 months in 2006 and enjoyed every minute of my time there. Keep up your good work.
