PARTIAL TRUCKLOAD (PTL) SHIPPING
Falling somewhere between less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL), partial truckload (PTL) is a freight mode for large shipments where the use of a FTL trailer is not required. Usually a straight shot, partial truckload shipping – also referred to as shared truckload or co-load shipping – allows your freight to remain on one truck, so there is less handling and reduced opportunity for damage. While PTL shipping has been around for a long time, new technologies have allowed shared truckload services to flourish.
LOWBOY TRUCKING SERVICES
Do you operate industrial, construction, or other commercial businesses that need to transport supplies or heavy equipment? From large pieces of freight to machinery that cannot break down into smaller parts, our lowboy transport services can successfully manage your transportation requirements. Ideal for transporting construction machinery, capable of moving under its own power, this type of equipment is commonly recognized as roll-on, roll-off. Because of the low-profile design, lowboy trailers simplify the loading/unloading process. We also offer shipping services that use lowboy trailers for various relocation projects. Tall loads can be particularly challenging due to numerous factors, including the need to clear overhead obstructions, a high center of gravity, and travel time restrictions. Due to their low profile, customers can avoid requirements for over-dimension permits, thereby reducing their shipping costs.
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION
Within the business supply chain, warehousing and logistics services fulfill vital functions. While warehousing focuses on the safe storage of goods, logistics provides the technical functionality required to manage the storage and delivery of said goods. While they exist as two separate business functions, warehousing and logistics are necessary to manage end-to-end requirements for customers. This year Canada is predicted to lead growth among G7 countries, which will press an already red-hot economy to its limits. Vacant industrial space in major markets has shrunk, and warehouses are full. Delays and disruptions ushered in by the global pandemic have brought the just-in-time supply chain system to a grinding halt. Companies are now buying stock up to 6 months ahead and looking for facilities to store it. Logistics and distribution services can help businesses optimize purchasing strategies while accelerating customer delivery times.
CROSS-BORDER FREIGHT SHIPPING
With so many moving parts, cross-border shipping can be complex. Navigating customs laws and regulations requires a successful shipper familiar with the challenges of moving freight across international borders. The first order of business when researching international freight shipping companies is to certify they have the authority to operate in Canada and the U.S.
The staggering amount of goods that travel daily across the Canada/U.S. border include automotive parts, construction materials, consumer/food products, and pharmaceuticals, not to mention a long list of commodities. By July 2022, cargo moving through the 100+ entry points lining the world’s longest international border was approaching $70 billion (USD). The 2020 renegotiation of the NAFTA agreement promises the trade relationship between our two countries will continue to grow.
Hauling freight trans-border can come with strict regulations and must be accompanied by required documentation to remain compliant with current shipping regulations. Although trade agreements reduce barriers, customs, paperwork, security, and dealing with multiple carriers can often prove challenging and sometimes costly if not well-managed when shipping internationally. Failure to comply could mean delays at ports of entry, added fees, and unhappy customers as your goods sit idly at the border. The ultimate goal is to ensure your shipment clears customs and make the cross-border shipping experience seamless.
