Full truckload (FTL) shipping gives your freight a dedicated trailer from pickup to delivery — no co-loading, no extra handling, no terminal stops. Shipmate Logistics arranges FTL capacity on every major Canadian lane and cross-border, with same-day pickup available in the Greater Toronto Area.
- ✓ Time-sensitive appointments
- ✓ No size & weight restrictions within legal limits
- ✓ Same-day pickup in the GTA
FTL DetailsLess than truckload (LTL) shipping lets you pay only for the trailer space you use. Your freight shares a truck with other shippers' goods, cutting your cost dramatically versus booking a full truckload — ideal for shipments between 150 and 15,000 lbs.
- ✓ A fraction of the FTL cost
- ✓ Expedited LTL services available
- ✓ Same-day pickup in the GTA
LTL DetailsDry van shipping is the most popular way to move freight in Canada. Whether your product is skidded, floor loaded, in crates or boxes, an enclosed 53' dry van protects your non-perishable goods from weather and road debris door to door.
- ✓ Heavy haulage
- ✓ Versatile for most commodities
- ✓ Wider availability & competitive pricing
Dry Vans DetailsA refrigerated van (reefer) is a temperature-controlled trailer designed to carry perishable goods at a precise set point. Whether your freight needs to be cooled, heated, or frozen, a reefer keeps it there from dock to dock — critical in Canadian winters and summers alike.
- ✓ Precise temperature control
- ✓ Heated service for winter lanes
- ✓ Temporary refrigerated storage available
Reefer DetailsFlatbed transport is the reliable choice for freight that's too wide, long, or tall for an enclosed trailer — or for deliveries to sites without dock-level unloading. Loads transfer easily on and off the trailer by crane, forklift, or roll-off platform.
- ✓ Over-sized load capability
- ✓ Easily transferable on & off the trailer
- ✓ Rolltite, stepdeck, double-drop & B-train options
Flatbed DetailsRail intermodal moves your freight in a container that travels by truck to the terminal, by rail over the long haul, and by truck again for final delivery. For non-urgent, high-volume freight crossing the country, it is usually the most cost-effective mode available — and Shipmate handles every leg so you only deal with one point of contact.
- ✓ Lower cost per mile than over-the-road on long-haul lanes
- ✓ Drayage, ramp booking and final delivery arranged as one move
- ✓ Lower emissions per tonne-kilometre than highway truckload
Rail / Intermodal DetailsWhen a line is down, a customer is waiting, or a missed appointment costs more than the freight itself, expedited service buys back the time. Whether it is one pallet or a full truckload, we put reliable equipment and experienced drivers on it and keep it moving direct to the consignee.
- ✓ Direct dispatch — your freight does not wait for a full trailer
- ✓ Team drivers available for the tightest transit windows
- ✓ Van, sprinter, straight truck or tractor-trailer as the load requires
Expedited DetailsDangerous goods move under rules that leave no room for guesswork. Shipmate arranges TDG and WHMIS certified transport across Canada and cross-border, matching your commodity to carriers who are properly licensed, placarded and trained to haul it.
- ✓ Carriers matched to your specific hazard class
- ✓ Drivers with current TDG training
- ✓ Documentation and placarding reviewed before dispatch
Hazmat DetailsFreight does not always move on the day it arrives. When you need somewhere secure to put it — for a week between shipments or for a season of overflow — Shipmate arranges safety-approved, weather-sealed storage trailers and containers sized to your requirement, for as long as you need them.
- ✓ Scale space up or down as volume changes
- ✓ Weather-sealed, inspected equipment
- ✓ Flexible terms — no fixed warehouse commitment
