Identify the exact unit and its travelling accessories

Use the supplier’s release number and the repair job reference. Confirm whether guards, couplings, mounting brackets or adapters are packed with the unit or travel separately. The workshop should be able to reconcile the transport pieces with the replacement it ordered.

Compatibility and installation requirements belong with the supplier and repair team. A courier or driver should not have to choose among similar units at pickup. Have the supplier label the authorised load clearly.

Prepare the unit for carriage

Give the skid or crate dimensions and the total packed weight. Describe the permitted orientation and any restrictions on stacking or pressure against the unit. A protective cover that conceals the shape does not remove the need for accurate measurements.

Disclose any fluids or residues and follow the supplier’s preparation requirements. Where a unit needs specialist loading or securing arrangements, state that before booking. WTM can then match suitable transport equipment to the accepted load rather than discover the requirement at the loading point.

Align collection with the repair team’s plan

Ask when the Lloydminster workshop needs the replacement to begin its next task. That may be earlier than the promised completion time for the repair. Include the receiving door, authorised contact and unloading equipment in the quote request.

For illustration, a workshop may have a technician and work bay available for a particular intake period. The shipment brief should state that period, not simply mark the order urgent. A clear deadline makes the direct transport decision easier to evaluate.

Keep an exchange unit separate in the booking

If the original drive is going back to Calgary, identify it as a second consignment with its own preparation and release time. The receiving workshop may not have removed or packaged it when the new unit arrives. Do not build an immediate return assumption into a one-way quote.

GPS tracking in the WTM Customer Portal supports the arrival plan. Available shipment documents identify the delivery and invoice, while the workshop records the repair and any exchange-credit process separately.

Gearbox transport questions

Does WTM install or remove the unit?

No. Installation and removal remain with the qualified service team. Describe any additional transport handling needed at booking.

Can the load travel in an enclosed truck?

Describe its dimensions and protection requirements so dispatch can confirm the suitable equipment for the accepted shipment.
