Our Client's Frequently Asked Questions
Ground freight shipping is the transportation of goods by truck over land, typically within Canada, the USA, or across the border. It works by consolidating shipments into Less-than-Truckload (LTL) or using a dedicated Full Truckload (FTL) depending on cargo size and weight. Freight forwarders and carriers coordinate the pickup, transport, and delivery, often using intermodal solutions when needed.
Ground freight can move almost any type of cargo, including general goods, oversized or heavy haul equipment, pallets, temperature-sensitive products in reefer trailers, and large storage crates. Specialized equipment like flatbeds, step-decks, double-drops, and curtain-side trailers handle unique shipment requirements.
LTL (Less-than-Truckload) is used when shipments don’t require a full truck, making it cost-effective for smaller loads. FTL (Full Truckload) is best for larger or high-volume shipments where the entire trailer is dedicated to one customer. Both services are available across Canada and the USA, with flexible options for regional, national, and cross-border deliveries.
Transit times depend on distance, shipment size, customs clearance (for cross-border), and whether the load is LTL or FTL. Domestic Canadian deliveries are usually faster than cross-border shipments. Expedited or express ground freight options are available for time-sensitive cargo.
Rates are determined by shipment weight, dimensions, distance, equipment type (flatbed, reefer, etc.), and any additional services like door-to-door delivery, cross-docking, or bonded carrier requirements. Ground freight is generally more affordable than air freight, making it a cost-efficient solution for industries like retail, manufacturing, construction, and distribution.
Yes. Ground freight services can be tailored based on cargo type, delivery timelines, and industry requirements. Whether you need intermodal solutions, temperature-controlled trailers, bonded carrier services, or multi-stop truckloads, ground freight offers flexibility to match your logistics needs. Many providers also offer tracking, route optimization, and sustainable transport options for added efficiency and reliability.
