How Truckbud Saved Nuit Blanche Winnipeg 2025
One hour before Nuit Blanche Winnipeg 2025 was set to open at The Forks, the SoBasically and OVALAB creative teams had a problem.
Their delivery company had bailed. Last minute. No warning, no backup, no explanation.
In their warehouse sat an 8-foot cube art installation: large, delicate, and built to be the centrepiece of one of Winnipeg's most celebrated cultural nights. Thousands of people were already making their way downtown. The Forks was transforming into an outdoor gallery. And the installation had not moved an inch.
A friend mentioned Truckbud. They made a booking.
Thirty Minutes to a Driver on the Road
Within 30 minutes of reaching out, Truckbud had a driver dispatched.
Not a "we'll look into it." Not a callback. A driver on the road with a clear plan.
The team stayed in contact from warehouse pickup through the streets of Winnipeg to The Forks, sending updates at every stage. When the clock is running and the stakes are real, that kind of communication is not a nice-to-have. It is the whole job.
The installation arrived safely. On time. In perfect condition.
Thousands of Winnipeggers experienced it that night without ever knowing how close it came to not being there at all.
In Their Own Words
"Honestly, Truckbud saved us. Our original delivery company bailed — I'm talking last minute, like an hour before our Nuit Blanche project had to go out. A friend recommended Truckbud, so we reached out, and they got back to us within 30 minutes. They took the time to understand what we needed, jumped into action right away, and had someone at our warehouse within the hour. They stayed in touch the whole time and somehow managed to get everything delivered on deadline. The event ended up being a success, and honestly a huge part of that is thanks to Truckbud."

What This Delivery Actually Meant
Nuit Blanche is one of those nights that reminds Winnipeg of what it is, a city that shows up for its artists, its community, and its shared spaces.
Truckbud is a Winnipeg company. Built here, operating here, and genuinely invested in what happens here. When a local creative team is one hour away from watching their work fall apart, showing up is not a business transaction. It is the reason Truckbud exists.
Not just to move large items. To be the call that works when everything else does not.
