Does your freight fit into an enclosed trailer?

Would you prefer to use an open deck trailer?
We offer different types of open-deck trailers ideal for carrying commodities such as steel, lumber, racking, concrete, piping, agriculture and construction equipment, manufactured goods and skidded freight : flatbeds, step decks, double-drop RGN’s, roll-tites and more.
Do you need to secure a full trailer?
Being a non-asset-based transport provider, we have access to several truck fleets across both countries. We have different sizes of empty trailers that are available coast-to-coast ready to accommodate you whenever you need.
Do you need to ship smaller freight that is too small to fill an entire truck?
We have trucks running throughout Canada and Latin American countries that are looking to consolidate multiple less-than truckload shipments into a single box. Chances are we will have a trailer close to where you need it to be at the time needed, with the required space.
Do you need to ship over-dimensional freight?
We have the capacity to handle your freight, whatever the size. We have access to different kinds of specialized heavy equipment such as stretch trailers, mini deck trailers and a wide range of multi-axle configurations.
Does your freight need any special care?
With access to thousands of different carriers, we suit perfectly in becoming your temperature-controlled carrier of choice. We have access to equipment that is able to haul cold, frozen and heated freight over long haul distances.
Have you attempted shipping intermodal?
We could combine convenient truck pick-ups and deliveries with cost-effective reliable rail transportation. Having access to our partners’ terminals, we are able to connect major centres across Canada and Latin America.
Have you ever though to explore rail transport?
Rail is a key component to Canada and Latin America’s gateways strategy, which links global supply chains with the American economy. Through our railway connections, notably the CN and CP, we are able to efficiently link important markets in both territories.

We have established partnerships with numerous airlines that transport regular commodities across Latin American countries. We offer not only terminal-to-terminal transport solutions but also door-to-door air transport solutions, while respecting your transportation requirements. Top-level safety measures are implemented throughout our process, from the delivery of your goods to our terminals, to their transportation via our partner’s aircraft, from storage to delivery to the consignee.

What questions comes to a shipper’s mind when shipping across Central and Southern America?
A truckload means that either you have enough freight to fill a full truckload or that you have a partial shipment that takes up to, for instance, half a trailer, and prefer to use a dedicated truck.
A full truckload (TL) is more costly than an LTL. However, it will get your shipment delivered faster than an LTL.
It is an international trade document that confirms goods in a specific shipment have been entirely obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a specific country. The commercial invoice usually includes a statement of origin. However, this may not be sufficient in certain areas.
This document must state the buyer and seller, indicate the date and terms of sale, the quantity, weight and/or volume of the shipment, type of packaging, complete description of goods, unit value and total value and insurance, shipping and other charges.
- What you are shipping and the value of each product
- The reason you are shipping these goods into Canada
- The 10-digit tariff classification number for each product you are importing and declare the rate of duty for your goods
- The method of shipping
