LTL Shipping To & From Canada
We provide LTL services to all provinces throughout Canada. However, prior to shipping LTL to or from Canada we require that a customs broker be assigned. The custom broker will request the proper documentation to avoid costly delays or having shipments enter inbond. With this in mind, consult us if you are unsure of what documentation you must have. Many industries including the automobile sector, plastics manufacturers and mining industry use LTL service.
Truckload Service To & From Canada
Over 3000 trucks cross the Cascade Gateway daily. For instance, recent studies reveal that truckload freight levels are increasing substantially heading into the US. However, in order to benefit from excellent truckload rates preparation is key. A shipper must provide a commercial invoice, bill of lading, and a customs broker after loading the freight onto the truck. This insures that the customs broker can use the PARS system for easy cross border clearance into the US. Contact Freight-Specialist for your next truckload shipping quote.
