SLH Transport

What SLH Transport does

SLH Transport, operating as C.A.T. Inc. and headquartered in Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec, is a North American freight transportation and logistics services provider founded around 1980. The company delivers truckload transportation coast-to-coast across Canada using an owned fleet and terminals positioned along major shipping routes, and serves a horizontal set of industries requiring full-truckload and cross-border freight movement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

The service portfolio spans five core lines: Truckload, Crossborder (via C.A.T. Global), Intermodal (rail and drayage), Dedicated Fleet, and Warehousing (with inventory management and fulfillment). Capacity is augmented by a network of 20,000+ partner carriers accessed through C.A.T. Global, allowing the company to act as both an asset-based carrier and a multimodal broker. Corporate structure is multi-subsidiary: C.A.T. Inc., C.A.T. Global, Penner International (Canada–U.S. truckload, Steinbach), Group Express (dedicated and northeastern Canada), and Integrated Services Inc. (U.S. interstate logistics, Kokomo, IN), each addressing specific lanes and operating geographies.

The revenue model is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer engagement runs through a direct quote request flow with enterprise shippers rather than published rate cards. Distribution is direct enterprise sales supplemented by partner-carrier channels and brand/recognition-driven marketing (e.g., the 2025 Top 20 Fleets to Drive For award, driver testimonials on cat.ca). No AI, software-platform, or technology-product offerings are disclosed, and financial information — including revenue, headcount trends, funding, or ownership structure — is not available in the source data.
