Dedicated Trailer • Point-To-Point

Full Truckload (FTL)

Dedicated semitrailers and shipping containers for high-volume cargo moving direct, with zero transfer handling.

Semi-truck hauling a full truckload trailer on a Canadian highway
Overview

Service Overview & Operational Capability

Full truckload service gives your shipment the entire trailer. From the moment the load is sealed at origin it stays on the same unit with the same driver until it reaches the consignee — no terminal cross-docks, no re-handling, and no waiting on other freight to fill the deck. Our dispatch team plans FTL lanes across Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, British Columbia, and into the United States.

  • Dedicated 53' dry vans and container capacity for high-volume cargo
  • Direct point-to-point transit with zero transfer handling
  • Sealed loads with seal numbers recorded at origin and destination
  • Time-critical and appointment-based delivery scheduling
  • Team-driver options for expedited long-haul runs

Use Cases

Use Cases & Solutions

Manufacturing production runs

Move a full production batch from plant to distribution centre on a fixed date without exposing pallets to terminal handling.

Retail replenishment surges

Cover seasonal volume spikes with dedicated trailers so store-level inventory lands ahead of promotional windows.

Time-critical project freight

Direct transit and team drivers compress transit times when a plant shutdown or install date cannot move.

High-value or sealed cargo

Single-custody trailers reduce touchpoints and shrink risk for freight where security matters most.
