For Truckload and LTL shipping between Canada and the U.S., we can help…
- Reduce worry. We sweat the details so you don't have to. That means understanding your freight requirements and communicating these details to our carriers both verbally and in writing on our carrier contracts. Nothing is left to chance.
- Troubleshoot border delays. Service Freight ensures that carriers are compliant and safe and participate in all Homeland Security programs when crossing international borders. If there is a problem with paperwork, our Logistics Coordinators jump in and work with the parties involved to facilitate a quick resolution.
- Reduce cost. If common carriers are your de facto choice for cross border shipping, you could be paying too much. We can often beat common carrier prices for U.S. inbound/outbound, particularly for shipments between 2 and 16 skids.
- Consolidate loads. We can leverage our freight volume to combine your LTL loads with other shipments to create a faster, cheaper truckload shipment.
- Access any type of equipment. Reefers, dry vans, straight trucks and flatbeds. Specialty features available include load bars, straps, vents, plates, dual temperatures, lower decks, mini decks, chassis, tailgate equipment and more.
- Lower your claims ratio. We analyze client requirements and document them. Our logistics specialists then methodically communicate those requirements, both verbally and in writing, to help ensure compliance and product safety.
