Westway Group Canada

What Westway Group Canada does

Westway Group Canada Inc. is a privately held Canadian freight transportation company founded in 1996 and headquartered at 71 Ortona Court, Concord (Woodbridge), Ontario. The company provides over-the-road shipping services across North America, with a stated focus on cross-border freight between Canada and the United States. Its core offerings are Full Truckload (FTL) and Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping, supplemented by Expedite Freight Service for time-sensitive shipments and Dry Van transport for general enclosed freight. Coverage extends to Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, and Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and Utah in the U.S.

The operating model is built around a fleet of experienced owner-operator drivers who follow a comprehensive Driver Handbook covering safety, driving and conduct standards; recruitment requires drivers to be 25 or older and operate 2015-or-newer trucks. Westway and its drivers are fully certified in U.S. and Canada Customs border security programs (PIP, ACE, ACI portal entry, CTRAT), enabling continuous cross-border movement. Dispatch is centralized in Woodbridge, Ontario and staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, supported by what the company describes as 'advanced technological processes' for dispatch and tracking.

Westway generates revenue through transactional freight fees on each load, with pricing set per quote via a toll-free phone number (1-866-655-5506) or an online rate-request form on westwaygroup.ca. Go-to-market is direct sales to shippers needing cross-border Canada–U.S. truckload capacity, with no disclosed channel partners, brokers, or named customer segments beyond 'North American Shippers'. The firm has 1–10 office employees and operates as an independent, privately held corporation with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding disclosed.
