An outstanding achievement recognized across North America

We are proud to announce that Transport Watson, a subsidiary of QSL specializing in heavy and oversized transport, has received the 2025 Hauling Job of the Year award from the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) in the “Under 160,000 lb” category.

This prestigious honor recognizes excellence in operations, technical ingenuity, and the highest standards of safety within the specialized transportation industry.

The award-winning project involved the complex transport of 51 oversized piping rack modules, including 40 colossal structures, with overall dimensions reaching up to 45 meters long (148 ft) and over 4 meters high and wide (13 ft).

The 22-kilometer journey between Contrecœur and Varennes, Québec, was carried out exclusively at night over a span of seven weeks, through narrow rural roads not designed to accommodate such massive cargo, and in the midst of harsh winter conditions.

Key highlights of the operation:
✅ 6 months of meticulous preparation
✅ 15 full road closures carefully coordinated
✅ 10 power poles relocated in collaboration with utility providers
✅ Flawless execution – completed safely, with no incidents, and on schedule

Confronted with multiple logistical challenges, the Transport Watson team demonstrated exceptional problem-solving abilities, innovation, and operational mastery to successfully complete this demanding project.

This award highlights the expertise, precision, and spirit of innovation that drive our teams. It also reflects the trust of our clients, the support of our partners, and our shared commitment to delivering the extraordinary.

Congratulations to the entire Transport Watson team on this remarkable success!
