Metro Transport has emerged as a thriving force in the hazardous materials transportation industry due to its visionary approach and unwavering dedication. The company specializes in operating global trucking systems, providing comprehensive transportation and logistics support, particularly for hazardous materials and waste shipments. Fueled by its extensive experience, customer-centric mindset, assets, expert personnel, and highly qualified carrier partners, Metro Transport offers full truckload, end dump, roll-off, and waste management services that help clients overcome the hurdles of ensuring compliance.

“Metro Transport is driven by the collaboration of customers, drivers, and internal personnel, with each playing a vital role,” says Kirk Wyttenbach, general manager of Metro Transport.

Through effective communication, unwavering honesty, and integrity, the company provides exceptional service with every shipment to meet the diverse needs of its customers. The majority of Metro Transport’s operations are centered on hazardous waste or materials shipment. It also utilizes various conveyance types like dry vans, dry van with heaters, end dumps, and roll-off equipment to efficiently manage customers’ requirements.

Metro Transport coordinates jobs using its roll-off equipment, offering customers the option to use their roll-off containers or the company’s containers. This facilitates the transportation of loaded containers to disposal sites nationwide, ensuring a seamless and dependable process that prioritizes customer satisfaction.

Metro Transport’s commitment to meeting the unique shipment requirements of customers, be it for transporting hazardous materials or managing hazardous waste, can be best reflected through a recent success story. A large hazardous waste site sought a single-source provider to streamline transportation operations, eliminate confusion, and ensure seamless coordination on their job site. Metro Transport took on the challenge and worked closely with their internal fleet and external carrier partners to devise an effective plan. The company diligently managed logistics, scheduling, and compliance requirements, resulting in the transportation of over 270 truckloads of contaminated soil from Minnesota to Michigan throughout the three-month project.

Adorned with remarkable achievements, Metro Transport has experienced astounding growth since its establishment. With revenue skyrocketing from $300,000 to an impressive $5.2 million the previous year, the company is poised to further revolutionize the transportation industry. Responding to the demands of valued customers and delivering exceptional service and expertise in hazardous materials, Metro Transport is exploring opportunities in the tanker environment. It has also devised a strategic roadmap to achieve a steady annual expansion of 10 to 15 percent across all its operations. Its growth trajectory prioritizes efficiency and profitability and ensures long-term value for customers along with reliable and highquality services.

One of the significant drivers of the company’s success so far is the recruitment and retention of its skilled drivers. Metro Transport is working tirelessly to recognize its drivers better and foster an environment where they are valued, treated as family members, and offered transparency regarding the business. What is more impressive is that the company has witnessed zero turnover in the past three years, a testament to its unparalleled work culture, supporting employee satisfaction and well-being. As Metro Transport continues to nurture its driver workforce, it anticipates that their happiness will translate into enhanced customer service, increased operational efficiency, and improved overall performance.
