Why You Should Advertise With Us Woodward Publishing Group is a 100% Canadian, privately owned company. We began with Ontario Trucking News in May 2003 and later added Western and Eastern Trucking News in June 2008. All of our publications feature full-colour monthly articles and advertising for the trucking industry. Our goal is to provide compelling and relevant reading material in our publications with the lowest pricing structure for our advertisers. We offer several diverse advertising opportunities from contract advertising, including bonus features, to monthly specials for clients who wish to book periodic advertising with FREE editorial space when booking a ¼ page or larger. For those clients who want to be seen every month, we have our NEW DYNAMITE DOZEN contract which offers a lot of FREE on-line “bonus” advertising in addition to print.

DISTRIBUTION: Ontario, Western & Eastern Trucking News are made available in truck stops, trucking fleets, dealerships and repair shops across Canada. We also distribute copies to all of the Traction & TruckPro locations in Ontario and Western Canada (Manitoba to B.C., Yukon & NWT).

OVERVIEW Woodward Publishing Group publications are printed on 35 lb Premium 80 with a 60 lb Gloss Cover Tabloid, Web Width 27” DESIGN & PRODUCTION: If required, our graphic designer will help you design and create your advertisement at no extra charge. To get the best results we would need the following; a good quality copy of your logo (original artwork if possible), photos, illustrations, as digital files or scannable images.

If you have an existing ad, we can re-size it if necessary. Under certain circumstances if the size of an existing ad does not match our standard dimensions and cannot be changed, we can “float” the ad within the layout of a page. “Bleeds” are accepted. Any supplied art or photographs should be at least 300 dpi if possible (lower resolutions can be used but will result in a lower quality final product). No film required, we go directly from PDF to Plate.

PROOFS: A “proof” (copy) of all advertisements created or modified by the publisher (i.e. Woodward Publishing) will be e-mailed (preferred method) or faxed to the advertiser or agency prior to publication. If proofs are not returned for corrections, the publisher assumes that the proof is satisfactory and is authorized for use. All advertisers receive a print copy by mail of the publication(s) in which they appear.

COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT: Our graphic design department is PC based and we primarily use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat. These applications can accept files produced on Mac computers.

MEDIA: If files are to be supplied on physical media, we can accept USB Flash Drives, all memory cards, CD-ROM/RW and DVD. AGENCY COMMISSION: Woodward Publishing Group is pleased to work with accredited advertising agencies. A 15% commission is calculated on rates before discount.

If you have any questions contact us, we’d love to help because, after all, We Work for You!
