WTM Logistics provides dangerous goods shipping for Peace Region industrial and oilfield freight through its freight transport service.
Not every courier is certified to handle dangerous goods. Before booking, confirm that your carrier has TDG certification and that drivers are trained in the specific class of dangerous goods you are shipping.
