Moncton: the crossroads of the Maritimes
Moncton sits at the junction of the main highways connecting Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and northern New Brunswick, which has made it the region's logistics and distribution hub. A large share of freight bound for the wider Maritimes -- not just Moncton itself -- passes through or consolidates here.
That makes Moncton a strong delivery point if you're supplying distributors who then move product onward across the region.
LTL vs FTL to Moncton
LTL is the economical choice for 1 to 10 skids, typically delivering in 3 to 4 business days.
FTL delivers in about 2 business days and is the right call for full trailers or freight continuing on to a distributor's own delivery network.
