A loaded Total Trucking flatbed pulling out of the yard at night, ready to roll

Thunder Bay · Northwestern Ontario

Your load moves today. Your crew gets back to work.

Flatbed, heavy equipment, oversize and hotshot hauling across northwestern Ontario. Call us, and most days your load is on a deck today or tomorrow.

  • 6+ years hauling northwestern Ontario roads
  • You talk to the people who own the trucks. No broker, no call centre

You shouldn't have to chase down a truck

You've got a machine sitting where it shouldn't be. Or a load that has to be in Red Lake by Thursday.

So you start calling. You leave messages. Nobody calls you back.

One outfit says "next week." Another quotes you a number, then the number goes up after they show up. A third turns out to be a broker, not the guy with the truck.

Meanwhile the clock runs. Your crew stands around doing nothing. Your rental clock keeps ticking. And the customer waiting on the other end starts asking questions you can't answer.

One call

One call. We answer. It gets handled.

We're Total Trucking, out of Dog Lake Road in Thunder Bay. Same yard and same crew as Total Tow, running these roads for over six years.

When you call, a person answers. Not a call centre, not a broker in another province. You talk to the people who own the trucks.

You get a real price and a real time, usually within two hours of your call. That price is worked out before we roll, so it doesn't change on you at the gate.

Then we go. Ten trucks. Lowboy, step deck and hotshot deck. Whatever your load needs, we've got the deck for it.

Three reasons contractors up here keep calling us

01

You get a truck today, not next week

Most jobs go out same day or next day. When you need it hauled yesterday, that's the difference between a lost day and a finished one.

02

You know exactly what it costs before it moves

We quote inside two hours and we build the permits, routing and escorts into the number up front. No surprise line items after the fact.

03

Your machine gets there in one piece

We haul these highways every week. Hwy 599 up to Pickle Lake, 105 into Red Lake, the 11 and 17 corridor. We know where the load restrictions are, where there's no fuel for 200 km, and how to get in and out of a bush road in March.

Questions people ask before they book

How fast can you actually get a truck to me?

Most weeks, same day or next day.

Some stretches get busy, so call early and we'll tell you straight if we can't make it. We won't string you along with "next week."

Can you handle oversize and overweight loads?

Yes. Lowboy, step deck and hotshot deck, plus the permits and routing.

You don't chase paperwork. We sort it out and it's in the quote.

Is the quote you give me the price I pay?

Yes, as long as what we find on site matches what you told us.

Give us the machine, the weight, the attachments and the exact pickup spot, and the number holds.

Am I talking to the actual carrier, or a broker?

The carrier. You're talking to the people who own the trucks, out of the same yard as Total Tow.

No broker layer, no call centre passing your job on to somebody else. The person who quotes it is accountable for it.

Is Total Trucking insured?

Yes. Ask when you call and we'll confirm it in writing before the truck rolls.

If a quote comes in a lot lower than everyone else's, that's usually why. Worth asking before you book, not after something goes wrong.
