Time
sure flies when you’re having fun! I’m sure that’s what Gerry
is thinking as he looks back on the nine years that Remex, Reynolds
Emergency Express has been in business. It was April 1991 when
Gerry Reynolds, President and owner of Remex first began operations
out of his home in Stratford with his
wife Darlene.
It
all began with a 1990 International straight truck, one customer
and Gerry as a one man show. Within the next three years, another
4 trucks were added and Remex became a busy expedited carrier
hauling mainly automotive product for a few large customers.
In
order to keep his company on the cutting edge, Gerry contacted
Cancom about equipping his fleet with their satellite tracking
system. Remex was
the first transportation company in the area to use satellite
tracking.

In 1995 a secretary was added to the office and by September
1996 the business needed room to grow and
was moved into office space on Erie Street. Within the next
year the fleet showed a dramatic growth and three more office
staff were hired. In July 1998, Gerry and Jack Rutherford of
The Rutherford Group became neighbours in the new building they
built together on Wright Blvd. Along
with beautiful office space, this facility also includes a shop
and wash bay
and a large yard to accommodate the current fleet of 26 trucks.
Reynolds
Emergency Express has earned an outstanding reputation built
with a commitment to service time sensitive expedited freight
which is second to none utilizing the latest technology in satellite
tracking and computerized dispatch. Remex is the proud recipient
of the C.H. Robinson Service Award and was also
nominated for a Business Excellence Award in 1999.
Probably
the most appealing quality about Remex however is that it has
remained a family owned, local
business that
knows everyone by
name. Gerry believes that the
personal aspect is and always will be
an important part of what Remex is all about. In the past year
we have enjoyed a company BBQ, a great Christmas party and an
appreciation dance for all of our customers and business associates.
Remex
has come a long way since its beginning and looks forward to
continued success as a part of Stratford’s community.
