New Westminster, B.C. – WTC Group is marking another milestone in the company’s history with the creation of WTC Trucking BC Inc. The announcement follows the granting of TLS licenses for Port Container Trucking Services by the Office of the British Columbia Container Trucking Commissioner (OBCCTC) last December.
Ten brand-new, premium Kenworth T880 Trucks from Inland Group hit the road this week supported by a team of newly hired experienced and skilled WTC drivers and dispatchers. This team of new hires will be led by new Trucking Manager Amardeep Singh.
Not only does the creation of WTC’s new trucking division represent a watershed moment in the company’s growth, it brings with it a host of competitive advantages, the benefits of which will be most palpably felt by its clients.
Chief among these benefits is the newfound ability to act as the centralized dispatcher and scheduler for all WTC trucks as well as all subcontracted trucks, establishing a new degree of precision coordination, control and consistency.
“WTC Trucking BC Inc. is a very exciting addition to the WTC Group family as it brings a completely new team of experienced people into the fold and makes available additional efficiencies for our overall operations,” said Brian Atkins, President and CEO at WTC Group. “It is amongst many milestone steps that WTC is currently taking, but is without a doubt of the most impactful to current port delivery issues as it will give WTC the ability to become the centralized dispatcher and scheduler for all our deliveries to port, establishing a new degree of precision coordination, control and consistency,” he added.
This new chapter in the company’s history is just the beginning. Thanks to state of the art truck and chassis design and configuration, and the potential for variances granted by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), WTC is building towards a future where more trips are possible using fewer trucks. A future with decongested roads and decarbonized skies might well be within reach.
