What we do

Freight services built for cross-border reality.

Moving cargo across international borders requires more than a truck and a driver. Every service below is designed around the specific compliance, documentation, and operational requirements of cross-border freight from Canada.

from CAD $280 / pallet
Full Truckload (FTL) Cross-Border
Dedicated 53-foot dry van, flatbed, or temperature-controlled trailers for full-load cross-border movements. Single driver or team driver options available for time-critical loads. All equipment is CVSA-inspected and pre-registered for FAST-lane border crossings.
from CAD $1,850 / load
Dangerous Goods (TDG/DOT)
Transport Canada TDG-certified handling for Classes 1–9. We prepare or verify shipper's declarations, emergency response information, placards, and segregation requirements.

from CAD $320 / consignment
Temperature-Controlled Freight
Refrigerated (2–8°C) and frozen (−18°C and below) cross-border transport for food, pharmaceuticals, and biologics. Reefer units are pre-cooled before loading and temperature records are maintained throughout transit. CFIA export certification coordination available for food products.
from CAD $2,200 / FTL load
Oversized & Project Cargo
Heavy haul, over-dimensional, and project cargo requiring special permits from provincial/state ministries of transport. We obtain all necessary oversize load permits, arrange pilot and escort vehicles, coordinate utility line lifts where required, and schedule border crossings for permitted hours. Engineering surveys available for extreme loads.
from CAD $3,400 / move
International Ocean & Air Forwarding
FCL, LCL ocean freight and air cargo from Vancouver, Toronto, and Montréal to over 60 countries. We manage booking, export documentation, Canadian customs export reporting, and coordination with overseas agents for import clearance. CETA, CUSMA/USMCA, and CPTPP preferential tariff certificates prepared where applicable.
from CAD $1,100 / TEU
Bonded Warehousing & Cross-Docking
CBSA-licensed bonded warehouse facilities near Windsor-Essex and Greater Vancouver allow goods to be stored, consolidated, or deconsolidated under customs control before final clearance. Cross-docking reduces dwelling time and per-unit freight costs for regular shippers with multiple consignments.
from CAD $0.85 / sq ft / month
Expedited Cross-Border
Dedicated vehicles dispatched within 2 hours of booking for urgent shipments. Pre-registered FAST-lane and C-TPAT credentials allow our carriers to use dedicated fast-track lanes at major crossings. Team drivers available for continuous movement. This service is priced at a premium but eliminates standard wait-time risk.
from CAD $890 / run
In the field

Loading, securing, moving.

Every load we handle is documented at origin, inspected at the border, and confirmed at delivery. Our operations team monitors active shipments and intervenes before border delays escalate.

Carriers in our network maintain clean safety ratings with Transport Canada and FMCSA. We do not work with carriers whose safety ratings are conditional or unsatisfactory.
