The story of World Bridge Cargo Transport began in 1960, when Doug Smith acquired Hills Transport in the small town of Gore Bay, Ontario. Driven by a commitment to provide dependable transportation services to his local community, he established the foundation of what would grow into a respected freight and logistics organization. Operating under the name World Bridge Cargo Transport, the company quickly earned recognition for its strong focus on safety, reliability, and customer service.

As customer demand increased, World Bridge Cargo pursued strategic growth initiatives that extended its reach beyond Northern Ontario. Through a series of well-planned acquisitions, the company expanded nationally, evolving from a regional carrier into a leading transportation provider with a comprehensive network spanning Canada.

Innovation has remained central to World Bridge Cargo’s continued growth. By investing in advanced logistics systems and modern tracking technologies, the company has consistently improved operational efficiency and service performance, reinforcing its position as a forward-looking leader in the transportation industry.

Throughout its development, World Bridge Cargo has demonstrated resilience amid changing economic conditions, technological advancements, and global market challenges. Its long-term success is rooted in adaptability, while remaining firmly guided by its core values of integrity, service excellence, and operational reliability.

Sustainability is an integral part of World Bridge Cargo’s operational strategy. Recognizing the environmental responsibilities of the transportation sector, the company has implemented initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental footprint and promoting responsible, sustainable practices.

Equally important is World Bridge Cargo’s commitment to the communities it serves. The company actively supports local initiatives, charitable organizations, and community programs, reflecting its dedication to responsible corporate citizenship.

Today, World Bridge Cargo Transport operates an extensive network of terminals across Canada and maintains access to hundreds of service centres throughout the United States. Its transformation from a locally operated carrier into a significant player in the North American freight market reflects decades of strategic growth, perseverance, and an ongoing commitment to excellence.

Beyond core freight transportation, World Bridge Cargo Group continues to expand its service portfolio. Through the acquisition of complementary businesses, the organization now offers integrated supply chain solutions, including warehousing, customs brokerage, crating, and international freight forwarding—positioning World Bridge Cargo as a full-service logistics partner for businesses across North America and globally.
