Calgary — Shell Canada and truck-stop specialist Flying J Canada Inc. are combining forces on road-transport services and plan to invest over $220 million in 15 new plazas for commercial travellers.
The new joint venture will include Shell Canada’s commercial fuel-card network and Flying J’s Canadian travel plazas.
As well, the companies will build new facilities that will include the new travel plazas, which will sell Shell gasoline, and remodel existing ones into a comprehensive network for Canadian road travel customers — with showers, food and seating areas, banking services and freight matching.
“Combining Flying J’s high-quality services and facility standards with Shell’s nationwide cardlock network and world-class fuels and lubricants, highlights the best of both companies,” stated Les Markiewicz, manager of commercial sales and marketing at Shell Canada.
The amalgamation includes the operational services of Shell Canada’s commercial fleet cards, which were previously developed and distributed with TCH, a Flying J company that specializes in products like fuel cards backed by leading web-based applications.
Plans to open other travel plazas in Western Canada later this year are also under way.
Shell Canada’s road transport business is held and operated by a wholly owned partnership, Shell Canada Products, which makes, distributes and markets refined petroleum products across Canada.
Flying J is a privately held company based in Ogden, Utah. It employs more than 14,000 people across the U.S. and Canada through its interstate operations, refining and supply and communications divisions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
