Flat deck transport in Dawson Creek, Arras, and Tomslake is for oversize industrial equipment, construction supplies, and agricultural materials that do not fit in a standard enclosed trailer. Dry van transport is for weather-sensitive cargo that needs full enclosure. WTM Logistics provides both through its flat deck and dry van service across the southern Peace Region.
When should you use flat deck transport?
Use flat deck when your freight exceeds standard trailer dimensions, requires crane or forklift side-loading, or includes materials that do not need weather protection — steel beams, pipe, lumber, construction equipment, and industrial machinery.
When should you use dry van transport?
Use dry van when your freight needs weather protection or security. Palletized commercial freight, retail goods, appliances, and sensitive cargo move in enclosed dry vans with dock-to-dock rear loading.
Flat Deck vs. Dry Van Comparison

| Enclosure | Open — no walls or roof | Enclosed — weather-tight |
| Loading | Side, overhead, crane | Dock-to-dock rear |
| Height clearance | Unlimited | Standard door height |
| Weather protection | None — tarping optional | Full protection |
