West Michigan Transport LLC
West Michigan Transport is a total logistics solution provider that has combined our assets, network of owner operators, and brokerage capabilities to handle our customers transportation needs for over 13 years. Although we do have 12 dedicated trucks, it is our growing network of over 70 loyal owner operators from throughout the Midwest that set us apart from the rest. In addition, we also have an additional carrier base of over 5,000 contracted carrier partners that we utilize to manage the ebb and flow of demand fluctuations. This allows us to operate with a long term, customer centered focus where integrity and service mean more than short term profits. Our strategy has led us to become a Top 5 Carrier for several of the biggest names in the food manufacturing and distribution industries.
Whether you are an owner-operator, dispatcher, shipper, or receiver, we look forward to building a relationship with you through trust – one load at a time!
Who We Are
Since the inception of WMT, we have continually worked to set ourselves apart from the competition through our unique approach to logistics. We believe that relationships are the key to developing long lasting partnerships to promote stability and growth for all parties concerned. This belief has become our philosophy of “Building Relationships Through Trust, One Load at a Time” and it not only extends to our customers, but also to our carriers and employees.
How We Do it
We have built a business that relies on our own assets, a dedicated fleet of 12 trucks, an owner operator network of 70 plus trucks, a dispatch service, and a brokerage to back up our entire operation.
Results of What We do
What does this mean for our customers? No fail loads, every time, without exception. Creating value through our service level into the supply chain of our customers translates into increased supply chain efficiencies which in turn, helps to reduce costs and generate additional value.

What should I do with my jewelry and other valuable items?
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
How do I prepare my appliances for moving?
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
