Road transport
Trucking, the backbone of your shipments
Whether you ship locally, across Canada or into the United States and Mexico, our network of vetted road carriers covers every North American corridor. We select the right carrier for each load, negotiate the rates and track your freight door to door.
Shipping a full load? FTL transport (Full Truckload) reserves an entire truck for your goods. For smaller shipments, LTL freight (Less Than Truckload) shares the trailer space and the cost. Not sure which fits? See our LTL vs FTL comparison.

Intermodal transportation
Rail + road: cutting costs on long hauls
Intermodal transportation combines the North American rail network with trucking for the first and last mile. The result: lower costs on long hauls such as Montreal–Vancouver, a smaller carbon footprint and less handling of your goods.
We coordinate the entire journey — rail booking, containers, trucking at both ends — and you keep a single point of contact from pickup to delivery.

We also handle special and sensitive cargo, including the transportation of dangerous goods on aircraft, with the documentation and compliance these shipments demand.

Frequently asked questions
What is a freight broker and why use one?
A freight broker acts as an intermediary between your business and a network of vetted carriers. Instead of negotiating with dozens of carriers, you entrust your shipments to a single partner who selects the right equipment, negotiates the rates and supervises delivery. You gain negotiating power, flexibility and a single point of contact.
What is the difference between a broker and a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder generally takes possession of the goods and issues its own transport documents, while a broker arranges the transportation without taking possession. Our article freight forwarder vs freight broker breaks down both roles and helps you choose based on your needs.
How do I choose between FTL and LTL shipping?
FTL (full truckload) suits large or time-sensitive loads; LTL (less than truckload) lowers the cost of smaller shipments by sharing trailer space. Our LTL vs FTL comparison walks through the decision criteria: volume, budget, deadlines and how fragile the goods are.
How much does freight shipping cost in Canada?
Rates vary with distance, mode, freight type and season. For concrete benchmarks, see our analyses of road freight costs in Canada and Toronto–Vancouver shipping rates, or request a personalized quote — it is free and comes with no obligation.
