Less‑than‑truckload (LTL) and partial‑truckload (PTL) options are ideal for shipments from parcels up to about half a trailer. We leverage a network of regional and national carriers, consolidate freight when appropriate and offer both standard and guaranteed transit times, giving you flexibility and cost efficiency for smaller moves. Typical LTL shipments weigh between 150 and 15 000 lb and are priced based on freight class, distance and density. PTL (sometimes called “volume LTL”) is a middle ground in which a large shipment occupies a significant portion of a trailer but doesn’t require a full truck. Palletizing your freight and providing accurate dimensions helps plan and avoid issues in transit. It’s a useful mode for businesses with frequent small orders that don’t justify a full truckload but still require predictable scheduling.

Full trailer‑load shipments where you have exclusive use of an entire trailer. We arrange capacity and match the right equipment for your freight. Through around‑the‑clock shipment monitoring and vetted carrier partnerships, we ensure your cargo moves safely and on schedule to its delivery. A typical dry‑van trailer can hold up to 26 standard pallets or about 45 000 lb, so truckload becomes cost‑effective once your freight volume approaches that capacity. Because the load isn’t transferred between trailers, TL minimizes handling damage and typically offers faster transit times than LTL. Pricing for truckload moves is usually quoted on a cost‑per‑mile or flat‑rate basis and may include fuel surcharges. Equipment types include standard 53‑ft vans, flatbeds, reefers for temperature‑controlled goods and specialized trailers for oversized loads. For high‑value or just‑in‑time inventory, truckload offers the benefit of direct delivery and shipment tracking as it moves down the road.

Ocean and rail intermodal container service combines rail or ocean transport with over‑the‑road trucking to reduce long‑haul costs and environmental impact. We manage container movements, coordinating drayage to get your container picked up and delivered. Intermodal containers are standardized (20‑ft, 40‑ft or 53‑ft) so they can be transferred between ships, trains and trucks without unloading the cargo. Depending on the transport mode used there will be fewer greenhouse‑gas emissions associated with the shipment. Because containers remain sealed, there is also less handling and a reduced risk of damage or theft. The drayage segments, which consist of short truck hauls from origin to rail ramp and from destination ramp to final consignee, require careful coordination to avoid detention or demurrage charges accruing. Our team is experienced in working around the tight deadlines and fighting back on incorrect fees from the ports and rails.

Expedited service refers to time‑critical shipments that need to move as quickly as possible. Our team is equipped to handle most goods needing expedited shipping. Save for hazmat goods, we can move almost anything on the moments notice. Unlike standard freight, expedited loads are typically moved on dedicated equipment with no intermediate stops or cross‑docking. The cargo often consists of small parcels, high‑value components or critical parts for manufacturing, automotive and healthcare industries. Transit may involve trucks for same‑day delivery within a regional radius, or a combination of line‑haul trucking and next‑flight‑out air service for longer distances. Because speed is the priority, drivers are dispatched almost immediately and often use team drivers to keep a vehicle moving around the clock. Real‑time tracking and proactive communication are essential so customers can coordinate labour and inventory at the receiving end. Expedited freight commands premium pricing due to the dedicated capacity and tight delivery windows but provides assurance that urgent materials will arrive when they are needed. This service is useful for covering supply‑chain disruptions, meeting production deadlines or fulfilling just‑in‑time inventory requirements.

If you have a shipment that needs to move cross border USA ←→ Canada and Mexico, as well as inter-Canada and inter-Mexico, we have you covered. Our team works with carriers that specialize in cross border transportation of various goods. Cross‑border freight may require transloading, where goods are transferred to a domestic partner at a border warehouse. If the need arises, we can use our partner facilities to ensure timely and secure transloading. Transit times can vary depending on the port, season and security checks, so pre‑planning helps reduce delays.

Our extensive network of transportation carriers utilizes all forms of open deck equipment ranging from hotshots to flatbeds, step decks, double drops, RGNs, Conestogas, and stretch trailers. Our carriers come equipped with various accessories to assist your shipments every step of the way. Whether it requires pipe stakes, headboards, coil racks, or ramps, we’ve got you covered. Our experience and understanding of industry specifics will put your mind at ease. Once you let us know what you are hauling, we will organize the appropriate equipment to get the job done right every time. Depending on the requirements of the freight overweight charges may apply due to needing specialty permits and equipment for the move.

Custom logistics solutions to all the needs for a seamless supply chain operation, working closely with your team through any project or operation. As a third‑party logistics (3PL) provider, we coordinate with multiple carriers to manage transportation on your behalf. We tailor routing, scheduling and mode selection to fit your volumes and time requirements, helping you streamline operations without taking on the complexity yourself.
A customized solution begins with an analysis of your freight flows, seasonal patterns and your unique requirements to map the most efficient network. It may involve combining different transportation modes (truckload, LTL, intermodal or expedited) or setting up dedicated routes for recurring shipments. We can incorporate specialized handling, packaging or consolidation services for fragile or high‑value goods. By regularly reviewing performance metrics and collaborating with your operations team, we adapt the logistics plan to changes in demand or market conditions without forcing you to renegotiate with individual carriers.

By examining your shipment and cost data, we uncover trends and patterns to build a comprehensive picture of your business. We benchmark market rates, track key performance indicators like transit time and carrier performance, and use past shipment data to forecast spend and identify savings. Our analytics help you make informed decisions—such as adjusting service levels or consolidating freight—without sacrificing quality.
Detailed cost metrics such as cost per mile, cost per pound and fuel surcharge allows for comparison of carriers and transport modes objectively. Reviewing on‑time delivery rates, claim ratios and communication quality can give insight into the health of an operation. Trend analysis can reveal seasonal spikes or regional imbalances that drive up costs, guiding decisions to reroute or reschedule shipments. Freight bill auditing ensures invoices match contracted rates and uncovers accessorial charges that might otherwise go unnoticed.
