Tank Truck Transport

What Tank Truck Transport does

Tank Truck Transport Inc. is a privately held Canadian bulk highway carrier established over 60 years ago, headquartered in Uxbridge, Ontario. The company specializes in the transportation of finished and performance chemical products as well as corrosive materials, operating across Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, the Maritime Provinces, and into the United States. Service lines include cross-border long haul, short haul, local movements, and Ontario-Quebec corridor operations, with revenue generated through mileage-based compensation (PC miles), loading/unloading fees, tolls, and customs charges.

The company operates four strategic terminals — Uxbridge (headquarters and main maintenance hub), Kleinburg (ISO-Container storage near Toronto airport with CN/CPR rail access), Cornwall (seven-acre site in the Ontario-Quebec corridor with direct rail siding), and Sudbury (serving the mining industry with pneumatic, stainless, dump, and container services). Three of these terminals host qualified repair facilities staffed by licensed mechanics and welders, with the Uxbridge facility performing annual B620 and HM 180 regulatory testing for both Canadian and U.S. tanks. Internal tank modification and manufacturing capability allows fleet customization to meet customer requirements.

The business model is sales-led B2B with direct outreach via phone, email, and a quote request form on tttransport.com. The primary customer segment is chemical manufacturers in Ontario and Quebec requiring hazardous-materials transport, with a secondary segment in the Sudbury mining industry for petroleum coke delivery. A maintenance and repair services stream provides third-party and internal tank certification, supported by satellite tracking for owner operators. Customer acquisition relies on industry reputation and direct relationships rather than formal marketing channels.
