Company History
Gat Leedm Logistics’ history is one of partnership that brings over a century of transportation experience together.
The company was established in 2012 through a partnership between the Metlakatla Development Corporation and Williams Moving and Storage. Williams Moving and Storage had a long-standing presence in the Prince Rupert area, providing services for 86 years from 1929 until 2015. In the 1970s, Williams Moving and Storage acquired Lindsay’s Cartage, a company that had been serving the Prince Rupert area since 1910.
Growth for Gat Leedm came quickly, with a high demand for container movement to and from the CBSA container examination facility on Ridley Island. With that, the company’s fleet grew and more and more experienced and professional drivers joined the Gat Leedm family.
After years of growing to meet the needs of the increased cargo making use of Fairview Terminal the Metlakatla Development Corporation, the economic development arm of the Metlakatla First Nation, became sole owners of the company in 2015.
Today Gat Leedm, which means “strength” in the Tsimshian language of Sm’algyax, is the go-to logistics service provider in Prince Rupert, with a fully-bonded warehouse, as an agent for Van Kam, Clark Freightways and a fleet of vehicles for any and all purposes.
