Rob Miller, Founder & President

 Rob Miller entered the transportation industry as a North American truck driver when he was 19 years old, but his ability to understand the intricacies of the industry pushed him to leave the driver’s seat and pursue different avenues in the industry.

In 2006, Totran was established, and with his guidance has grown into one of Western Canada’s largest trans-border heavy fleet of equipment.

From a driver to sales representative and his current position as President of Totran, Rob has established a reputation for developing new and innovative ways to move heavy-haul and project cargo throughout North America. Rob Miller extends his passion for the industry to both his clients and employees by creating an environment where employees are encouraged to find their strengths and grow, and clients view Totran as a true extension of their own departments. The genuine excitement Rob shows when faced with a challenge when hauling dimensional freight, and the feeling of success when it is safely completed, is a sentiment experienced throughout the company.
