The relationship between Economy Carriers and UFA goes back to 1937 when Emil Fredericks, a Maple Leaf bulk fuel agent, formed Economy Feed and Transfer in Cardston. Ten years later, Emil Fredericks formed a partnership with the Bietz brothers, Harry and Alvin and Economy Carriers Limited (ECL) was born. Soon UFA contracted Economy Carriers to handle all of their fuel transportation needs to UFA agencies south of Red Deer. In 1974 UFA contracted ECL to move its fuel products from refinery gates in Calgary and Edmonton to all UFA agencies in Alberta. RTL-Westcan purchased ECL in March of 2010.
