Ontario freight coverage

Connected to Ontario’s main business and freight corridors.

The route plan must reflect more than highway distance. Facility access, urban restrictions, appointments, seasonal conditions, border timing and the cargo itself can all affect equipment and scheduling.

Coverage note: Service is not automatic for every origin, destination or commodity. Eligibility depends on the cargo, lane, timing, facilities, documents and available carrier capacity.

Greater Toronto and Golden Horseshoe

Freight requests involving Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Niagara and surrounding municipalities.

Southwestern Ontario

Coordination for eligible freight involving London, Windsor, Kitchener–Waterloo, Cambridge and manufacturing or distribution locations along major southwestern corridors.

Eastern and Northern Ontario

Eligible regional and long-distance requests involving Ottawa, Kingston, Sudbury and other Ontario origins or destinations are reviewed around lane and capacity requirements.

Canada–U.S. road freight

Cross-border movements are coordinated with the shipper’s importer, exporter and customs broker. Required commercial and commodity documents must be ready before movement.

Freight planning workflow

From shipment details to coordinated delivery.

A strong freight plan resolves missing information before equipment is dispatched. That protects the schedule and reduces avoidable surprises at pickup or delivery.
