FTL Shipping

When Your Freight Needs The Entire Trailer

Some shipments are too large, too valuable, or too time-sensitive to share space. Every extra stop a truck makes is another chance for your delivery window to slip, and every time freight gets handled at a terminal is another opportunity for damage. Full truckload shipping removes both variables. Your freight is loaded once, travels on one truck with one driver, and comes off at the destination.

What is FTL Shipping?

FTL shipping, or full truckload shipping, dedicates an entire trailer to your shipment. Rather than sharing trailer space and stopping at terminals along the way, your load runs point-to-point on a single truck. That means faster transit, fewer touchpoints, and a delivery schedule you can plan around.

A truckload isn't strictly a question of weight. Some customers book FTL because they can genuinely fill a trailer. Others book it because their freight is fragile, high-value, or tied to a delivery appointment that can't move, and the certainty is worth more than the savings of sharing a shipment with other cargo.

Truckload Lanes We Run Every Week

We move truckload freight throughout North America, but there are lanes we run constantly, where our carrier relationships and rates are strongest:

• The I-5 corridor into California, Washington, and Oregon
• Vancouver to Toronto, and Toronto back to Vancouver
• Chicago to Vancouver, in both directions
• Dallas, Houston, and Laredo into Vancouver
• Calgary to Vancouver, and the return

If you ship on one of these lanes regularly, tell us. Repeat truckload business lets us lock in rates rather than quoting you at whatever the spot market happens to be doing that week, which makes your freight costs far easier to forecast. If your lane isn't on the list, no problem. Our network covers North America, and these are simply the routes where we have the deepest carrier bench.

Equipment for Full Truckload Shipments

The right trailer depends on what you're moving and how it needs to be loaded:

• Dry vans for general palletized freight
• Flat decks for material loaded from the side or overhead
• Step decks and double drops for loads too tall for a standard deck
• Super-B and B-train configurations for heavy loads under Canadian weight regulations
• Temperature-controlled trailers for freight that can't be exposed to heat or cold

We confirm the equipment against your actual freight dimensions before dispatch, rather than discovering at pickup that the trailer sitting at your dock won't work.

Consistent Volume Means Better Capacity

Most brokers only call a carrier when they need something. We work differently. The carriers in our network also move our LTL freight, week in and week out, which keeps their trucks loaded and their revenue steady. That consistency matters when capacity tightens. When a carrier has to choose which load to take during a busy season, the relationship they rely on every week tends to win. For you, that shows up as trucks that are available when you need them and rates that hold steady when the market moves.

Tracking and Daily Updates

Once your load is booked, you can follow it through our online platform. Our tracking team also sends daily updates by email, so you aren't chasing someone for an answer before you can update your own customer. If something changes in transit, you hear it from us rather than finding out when the truck doesn't show up on time.

A Recent FTL Success

A construction client was supplying a major building project in a new entertainment district in Arizona. The job needed multiple truckloads spread across several weeks, with more than one pickup a day, and the site couldn't take every delivery at once. We worked with our carriers to build a delivery schedule around the site's capacity, staggering arrivals so material landed as the crew was ready for it instead of piling up. The project stayed on track without the site getting overwhelmed.
