    Frequently Asked Questions about Drayage Services in Canada

    Drayage refers to the short-distance transport of containers between ports, rail terminals, and warehouses. In Canada, it plays a vital role in linking ocean freight and rail systems with inland destinations. Without efficient drayage, intermodal operations would face delays, increased costs, and storage penalties. Canadian drayage services are especially important due to the vast geography and reliance on CN and CP intermodal rail networks.

    The time depends on distance, terminal congestion, and container availability. In urban areas like Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, same-day drayage is common. For inland container transport (e.g., from Vancouver to Calgary), it may take 1–2 business days. Our dispatch team monitors port schedules and uses live GPS tracking to optimize timelines.

    We handle all major container sizes: 20ft, 40ft, 45ft, and 53ft. Services include dry containers, refrigerated (reefer) units, and heavy/overweight containers using triaxle chassis. Our intermodal trucking fleet is equipped for a wide range of industries, from food to construction materials.

    Port drayage involves short-haul container moves between ports and local warehouses. Inland container transport refers to longer hauls (often interprovincial), such as from Port of Montreal to a facility in Quebec City or Toronto. Both are part of the full drayage solution, and we provide both.

    We integrate directly with CN and CP systems for pre-clearance and gate scheduling. Containers are picked up from terminals like CN Brampton or CP Calgary using certified drivers. Real-time visibility tools help clients track cargo from terminal pickup to delivery.
