About Us
We started Weyburn Industrial Transload because we wanted to build a local business with a familiar face that the community could trust. This business is not about us, but our customers and the needs of our community.
Cost
We charge on a per tonne or per rail car basis. Prices can be adjusted for higher volume shipping and consistent monthly carloads. WIT generally likes to sign a minimum of 1 year deals with upwards to 3-5, to reflect the market and take advantage of any beneficial cost savings.
