Our Warehouse in Toronto

Every commercial service we sell runs through this building. Containers pulled from CPKC Vaughan and CN Brampton are unloaded here by our crews; freight is transloaded, cross-docked, stored and repacked here; and our straight trucks leave from this dock for deliveries across the GTA & Southern Ontario. It is a warehouse in Toronto that you can visit, and we would like you to.

Lumper services

Lumper crews: at our dock, or dispatched to yours

The crews that unload floor-loaded containers here every day also work on the road. A lumper crew arrives at your warehouse, plant or store with the equipment the job needs (pallet jacks, wrap, banding, corner boards, pallets on request) and does whatever your dock is short-handed for: destuffing, loading, palletizing to your spec, restacking a refused load, rework.

Lumper & unloading service Book a crew

  • Trained crews, our payroll

    The same employees who work our dock — not a temp roster assembled that morning.

  • Equipment travels with them

    Pallet jacks, stretch wrap, banding tools and pallets on request. A dock door is all your site needs.

  • Palletizing at your location

    Loose freight counted, stacked to spec, wrapped, labelled and staged on your floor.

  • Same-day when it counts

    GTA covered daily, Southern Ontario by arrangement. Call dispatch before assuming it is too late.
