Hotshot & Expedited Freight

In oilfield operations, downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per hour. Strategic Transportation Ltd. operates a dedicated hotshot and expedited freight service built for exactly that pressure. Our purpose-built 1-ton duallies with gooseneck trailers are staged, fuelled, and dispatched around the clock — weekends, statutory holidays, and through Alberta winters.

We specialize in time-critical delivery of wellsite equipment, pump jacks, valves, BOP stacks, drill bits, wireline tools, and any oilfield component where a missed delivery window means a suspended operation. Every STL hotshot driver holds H2S Alive, TDG, and WHMIS certification as a baseline — not as an option. Before any run departs, a documented Journey Management Plan is completed covering the route, hazards, check-in schedule, and emergency contacts. Our clients receive direct dispatch access — no call centres, no hold queues, no automated systems between you and the driver.

STL's hotshot service covers all of Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. We run Fort McMurray to Edmonton in under four hours on demand. We deliver to remote wellsites, pipeline ROW, SAGD operations, and camp facilities where most carriers won't go. Our NSC Standard 13 compliance record and WCB coverage mean we prequalify on ComplyWorks, ISN, and major energy sector vendor management platforms. When your rig is waiting on a part, STL is the call that gets it moving.
