Your freight from one side of the border to the other

Whether you have a single pallet or a full truck to move, we cover the Canada–US corridor in both directions. Our network of vetted carriers arranges full truckload (FTL) and less than truckload (LTL) shipping depending on your volume, temperature-controlled shipping for your sensitive products, and intermodal transportation when rail cuts your costs over long distances.
From Montreal to the Midwest, Toronto to Texas or Vancouver to California, you deal with a single team, no matter the destination.

We keep your freight moving at the border

This is where most shipments go off the rails: one missing document or a wrong classification, and your load sits at the border crossing. Our job is to make sure that never happens.

Our carriers participate in the programs that speed up the crossing: C-TPAT and FAST, plus PARS and PAPS for transmitting customs information before the truck reaches the border. When needed, we coordinate with your customs broker on both sides of the line.

Here is how we keep your cross-border shipment moving:

Quote and shipping plan. You receive clear pricing, an estimated transit time and the transportation mode best suited to the corridor.
Document and compliance check. We validate your documentation before departure to avoid holdups at the border.
Border crossing and tracking. Your information is transmitted in advance, and you follow your load through to final delivery.

The documents that make (or break) a smooth crossing:

- the bill of lading (BOL);
- the commercial invoice detailing value and goods;
- the HS code for customs classification;
- the CUSMA certificate of origin for preferential tariff treatment;
- the importer of record's IRS number (EIN) — the most common omission, and without it, US customs clearance is simply impossible.
