Petroleum

The Petroleum Industry is a high-volume industry involving a limited number of major players.  As volumes fluctuate substantially based on external and economic factors, petroleum carriers must have the flexibility to react and adapt quickly to changing demands.

As a specialized industry, retaining experienced drivers and operations personnel is essential to success and Seaboard Transport Group has some of the most experienced drivers and operations personnel in the industry.

Resource & Mining

The Resource & Mining industry is heavily dependent on mineral pricing and the economy, making it difficult to provide stable, ratable business volumes to prospective transportation service companies. With a solid understanding of the industry and the challenges it presents as well as a proven track record of success in the industry, Seaboard Transport Group is well positioned to offer custom overland transportation plans to potential clients. We take pride in our ability to effectively meet our clients’ needs and in developing partnerships with these clients to move products safely over the road. Seaboard works tirelessly on behalf of its Resource and Mining customers to deliver inputs needed for their operations and to load and transport the resources produced.

Chemical

The transportation of chemicals involves consideration of several important factors, including the logistics of loading, unloading and transit times and the safe and secure transit of the product while in the carrier’s custody. In addition, due to the volatility and sensitivity of some chemicals to contaminants and environmental factors such as temperature, handling and transport procedures must be strictly followed. As the first road transportation company in Canada to become a Responsible Care Transportation Partner, our customers can trust that we will provide superior service and environmental stewardship through professional and accountable people and processes.

Agricultural

With deep roots in Western Canada, Seaboard Transport Group has the expertise required to transport many agricultural products such as grains, canola and fertilizers used in the cultivation of crops. We are not limited to road transport services, as we are uniquely positioned to offer transload services from rail to truck or truck to rail. We pride ourselves on the ability to offer these modes of transport within the agricultural industry while maintaining exceptional safe handling and transport procedures.
