Logistics is about more than just a shipping choice. It is managing all the decisions around it, from storage and warehouse to building relationships with the carriers. This complete service covers all your needs from the pick-up of the shipment at your door to the delivery at the door of the receiver.
All needs in between are met, including tracking, transfers, tariffs, clearing customs, ensuring paperwork is complete and correct, and all other concerns you might have. When shipping a product that will not fill a complete truck, usually under 14,000 pounds, or less than six pallets, it can ship as a less than truckload.

Services
Less than truckload services are for shipments that will not fill a full truck on their own. These may be combined by the transportation company with another load that will fit with yours to create a full truck, or it may be shipped with other freight of yours to fill the truck if they are going to the same location or close to the same location.
Full truck load services are for a load that is large enough to fill an entire truck and must be shipped alone with no other freight. This is a common service provided for both short and long distances. The size of a full load is calculated by the weight the truck can handle or the dimensions of the inside of the truck.
Cross border shipping is quite common between Canada and the USA, as well as between many countries all over the world. There are increased complications and factors when shipping across a border, and it is necessary to ensure all requirements are met. Cross border shipping is shipping in any mode that requires a pickup in one location to cross the border between countries for delivery in the drop off location within the other country.
Warehouse transport is a popular form of transportation required frequently. Loading at a warehouse to deliver to various destinations can involve raw materials or finished products. Warehouse shipping can be from one warehouse to another, from a warehouse to a store, or even warehouse to home in some instances.
Door to door express services allow shippers to send their packages and deliveries right from their location to their ultimate drop off location. This includes any customs or border crossings and is key for small deliveries going to the end consumer. For a full service that allows a more hands-off approach once the shipment has been picked up, this is a good service option.
