First Call Hotshot truck on Highway 63 heading to Fort McMurray through Alberta boreal forest

The Edmonton-to-Fort McMurray run is one of Alberta's most critical freight corridors. At 435 kilometres via Highway 63, this route connects the provincial capital's industrial supply network to the heart of the Athabasca oil sands — the largest oil sands deposit in the world.

First Call Hotshot dispatches this route around the clock. Production doesn't stop at the oil sands because it's 2 AM on a Sunday — and neither do we.


Edmonton to Fort McMurray: Route Overview

Distance: 435 km via Highway 63 North

Typical drive time: 4 to 4.5 hours (conditions permitting)

Key industries served: oil sands operations (CNRL, Suncor, Syncrude, Cenovus), pipeline maintenance, oilfield services, construction and camp supply

Highway 63 conditions: This route is notorious for heavy industrial traffic and challenging winter conditions. First Call Hotshot drivers are experienced on this corridor year-round, including winter road conditions and construction season slowdowns between Grassland and Wandering River.
