New Brunswick's industrial anchor
Saint John is home to the Irving refinery, one of the largest deep-water ports in Atlantic Canada, and a concentration of manufacturing, energy and industrial freight that makes it distinct from the region's other markets. It's also the closest major Maritime market to Ontario, which keeps transit times shorter than lanes further into Nova Scotia.
Shipmate arranges dry van, reefer and flatbed capacity into Saint John daily, with same-day pickup available across the GTA.
LTL vs FTL to Saint John
For 1 to 10 skids, LTL is the economical choice, typically delivering in 2 to 4 business days as freight consolidates through Quebec and northern New Brunswick.
For full trailers, industrial freight, or a firm appointment at a port or refinery-adjacent facility, FTL is faster and lower-risk, typically delivering in 1 to 2 business days with a single dedicated truck.
