Freight transportation is the core of WTM Logistics. We combine freight, LTL, hotshot, courier and dedicated transportation with cross-docking, warehousing and managed logistics support across our operating network.

Start with the shipment rather than a logistics acronym. Choose the situation closest to yours and go directly to the appropriate WTM service.

Operating network
WTM's core pickup and delivery network covers Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Selected long-distance corridors can also originate or terminate in major Canadian centres outside the core network.
WTM does not represent every Canadian city-to-city combination as an active lane. Confirm your exact origin and destination before booking.
Review the operating network or submit your origin and destination for a shipment-specific answer.

Service questions
Freight transportation is the broader commercial transportation category. LTL is used when a shipment needs trailer space but does not require the entire trailer. The correct option depends on shipment size, lane, equipment and timing.
Hotshot is appropriate when urgency and dedicated movement matter more than consolidation efficiency. Confirmed hotshot shipments can be dispatched immediately, while pickup timing depends on vehicle position, origin and equipment requirements.
Temperature-controlled transportation is not confirmed as a general service. Provide required temperature ranges, monitoring and handling conditions for review before acceptance.
