Woodcock Transportation Group

What Woodcock Transportation Group does

Woodcock Transportation Group is a private, family-owned trucking and logistics company headquartered in Sebringville, Ontario, with operating roots that trace back to 1973 and formal incorporation under the Woodcock Brothers name in 1983. The company provides freight transportation services across Canada, the continental United States, and locally within Ontario through three branded Express lanes (Canada, US, Ontario) plus full truckload (TL), less-than-truckload (LTL), and dedicated logistics services. It operates from a 20,000 square-foot facility that includes a 5-bay shop, and fulfills demand using a mixed-capacity model: company-owned assets supplemented by owner operators and associate carriers, with trailer types spanning van, flat deck, roll tarp, step deck, double drop deck, and straight trucks equipped with onboard tracking and dash cameras.

The technology layer is fleet-operations oriented rather than product-facing. Core systems include fleet-wide real-time communication and monitoring, long-distance tracking with load-status reporting, and a carrier background review process applied to associate-carrier assignments within the logistics division. Revenue is transactional: each freight movement is quoted via the 24/7 support center (1-800-565-5557) or email, with no published rates or subscription model, and clients receive a single point of contact through a dedicated Client Care Representative. Marketing is sales-led and direct, supplemented by a modest social media presence and a Dayforce-hosted careers portal, while dispatch uses the firm's internal fleet-management stack alongside its driver and support staff.

Woodcock serves commercial businesses across North America that require freight and logistics for shipments ranging from a single pallet to multi-truckload volumes, including over-dimensional loads. It is recognized by Trucking HR Canada as a Top Fleet Employer for at least 8 consecutive years through 2023 and again in 2024, signaling consistent HR practice in a labor-intensive industry. Leadership comprises CEO Jeff Pauli (appointed 2017 after joining as Controller in 2000) and Chairman/owner Brad Woodcock (sole owner since 2004). The company's sole disclosed acquisition, in 1997, doubled its size, and its 2020 rebrand from Woodcock Brothers to Woodcock Transportation Group marked an explicit positioning shift toward a broader, multi-service North American transportation and logistics identity.
