18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking

What 18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking does

18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking, operating through 18 Wheels Holdings Limited Partnership, is a privately held third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia. Founded in 1989, the company offers a vertically integrated suite of logistics services spanning third-party warehousing, trucking and transportation, co-packing, and omnichannel e-commerce fulfillment. Its operational footprint is concentrated in Western Canada, with the company positioning itself to participate in the broader North American 3PL market.

The business serves Western Canadian businesses requiring outsourced warehousing and distribution capabilities, with a horizontal segmentation approach that targets clients across multiple verticals rather than concentrating in a single industry. Revenue is generated through logistics service contracts — most likely recurring storage and shipment fees — though pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company does not appear to operate proprietary technology platforms; its offering is grounded in physical logistics infrastructure, fleet capacity, and warehouse operations rather than software-led differentiation.

In March 2023, 18 Wheels received a growth investment from Westcap Mgt. Ltd. through its Westcap MBO III Investment LP vehicle, structured as a management buyout. The transaction was intended to fund expansion and capitalize on growth trends in the North American third-party logistics sector. Leadership comprises founder Perry Wong alongside a CFO (Meng Lai) and COO (Michael Kotendzhi), reflecting a transition toward institutionally managed operations under PE ownership. The company operates with a small headcount of 11–50 employees, indicating a focused, regionally scaled operation rather than a national logistics platform.
