Our Story
Our Story Since 2000. One Load at a Time.
Leadership at Vitesse goes beyond the executive suite. Our strength comes from the dedication of every driver, warehouse worker, dispatcher, and logistics professional, many of whom have been part of the Vitesse family for decades. Their expertise, commitment, and care are the backbone of every successful shipment and the foundation of the trust our clients place in us."
The Journey Begins
The Vitesse story began with a simple hope and a dream. Aldo DeCarolis, fueled by his passion and entrepreneurial spirit, started the company in 2000 from a modest 1½-bedroom apartment. With just three employees and loads booked by hand, Aldo’s energy and determination drove every step of the journey. His love for hockey (playing Junior Hockey in QMJHL) and his passion for golf reflect the same competitive spirit and focus he brings to building Vitesse.
From those humble beginnings, Aldo, alongside his partners Michael Scalzo (CFO), Mo Selim (VP Pharma & Healthcare Logistics), and Domenic Santini (CTO), transformed Vitesse into a thriving logistics company with a fleet of over 150 trucks and more than 300,000 square feet of warehousing space.
Through the hands-on leadership and relentless drive of the ‘Core Four,’ they shaped a company culture that values hard work, integrity, and a commitment to doing what’s right for clients and team members alike.
The vision of Vitesse remains clear: to build one of North America’s most trusted logistics companies, grounded in reliability, security, and genuine care for every shipment and every person involved.
With each new challenge and milestone, the team continues to lead Vitesse forward with the same passion that started it all.

At Vitesse, leadership means showing up fully, committed to our clients, our team, and the work that moves their businesses forward. We operate with a genuine care that inspires us to go beyond expectations, invest extra time when needed, and always choose what’s right over what’s easy. This dedication fuels every decision and action we take.
Our team is more than colleagues; we’re a family.

This deep bond creates a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported, working toward shared goals with trust and respect.
Our core values, Trusted, Reliable, Secure, guide how we handle every shipment, every client interaction, and every challenge. You can trust us to protect your goods with care, rely on us to deliver on our promises, and know that security, both physical and operational, is at the center of everything we do.
Twenty-five years in, and what I'm most proud of isn't how far we've come, it’s who we've built it with. Our team is the backbone of everything we do. To me, we're not just colleagues, We are family.
