About Us
A trucking company that makes a difference.
SAFETY, SERVICE and INTEGRITY on every job we take on.
Reliable. Responsible. Accurate.
We started out in 1994 as a family-run, Canadian-owned company with only 6 employees and a single shop bay, as Rebel Heart Water Hauling Ltd, with a handful of water trucks servicing drilling rigs in Western Canada. Over the years it was recognized, that to keep experienced operators during slow times in the oil patch, the need for diversification was required. In 1999, construction in Edmonton was booming and our first gravel truck was purchased; the name Rebel Heart Trucking was born.
Since our humble beginnings, Rebel Heart’s aim to diversify has expanded us to over 45 trucks and support units including floater, tandem, and tri-axle water trucks, tractors, tankers, tandem gravel trucks, tri-axle end dumps, front-end loaders, skid steers, and sanders.
In 2007, we moved operations to a new five bay facility on a three-acre industrial yard in North East Edmonton – this location allows quick deployment of trucks and easy access to suppliers to ensure we’re always up and working. Although the company started out servicing remote sites across Western Canada, today, our main focus is the Greater Edmonton area and its surrounding communities.

We have been using Rebel Heart Trucking for approximately 10 years and their service has been excellent! Rebel Heart provides us with all of our water and trucking needs. The service provided has been outstanding, they are always diligent in providing a high standard of excellence. The staff at Rebel Heart are great to deal with and respond to any of our requests in a timely manner especially during our peak season.
I have been favourably impressed with [Rebel Heart’s] operating procedures and personnel… I like being able to speak with a person at the order desk and know when to expect the delivery of water.
I would like to express our profound appreciation for your assistance… in response to the fires in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. In the face of this unprecedented challenge, you answered the call in support of your neighbours and colleagues… Because of your support the people of Wood Buffalo are well into the process of recovery with the majority of the homes and all of the critical infrastructure safe.

Thank you to the team at Rebel Heart. Our reoccurring water deliveries are always timely, and the drivers are professional and friendly! The operator who delivered our gravel was patient and took extra care in our yard. Highly recommend their services!
They brought a load of water to my house at 3 AM on Christmas Day after I ran out! 24/7 is right!!
