Across the border with the same team on both sides
With our Toronto office open, we can take freight from a Chicago warehouse to a plant in Ontario (or the other way) with one booking, one set of paperwork and one point of contact.
Where the trucks run
We operate through a small group of asset-based carriers we've vetted for cross-border work, with Fiskers dispatch in Chicago and Mississauga.
| Lane | Crossing | Transit | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago, IL ↔ Mississauga, ON | Detroit–Windsor (Ambassador Bridge) or Port Huron–Sarnia | 1 day (team) · 2 days (solo) | FTL daily, LTL Tue/Thu |
| Detroit, MI ↔ GTA | Detroit–Windsor | Same day / next morning | FTL daily |
| Columbus, OH ↔ GTA | Buffalo–Fort Erie (Peace Bridge) | 1 day | FTL 3×/week |
| Long Beach / LA ↔ GTA | Detroit–Windsor | 4–5 days (team) | FTL on request |
| GTA ↔ Montreal, QC | Domestic | 1 day | FTL & LTL daily |
Border crossings go smoothly when the paperwork is done first
Most delays at the Ambassador Bridge aren't traffic. They're a PARS number that wasn't sent to the broker, a commercial invoice missing the country of origin, or a load that should have moved in bond and didn't.
Our brokers in both countries prepare the crossing before the truck leaves the dock. The driver gets a single packet, and we get an alert when the truck is released on each side.
- PARS (into Canada) and PAPS (into the US)
- ACI and ACE e-manifests
- In-bond moves (T&E, IT) for goods still under customs control
- CUSMA certification of origin review
- Drawback claims on goods re-exported after US import
How clients use it
China → Chicago → Toronto
Land ocean freight in Chicago, transload, hold part in bond, and send the Canadian share north without paying US duty on it.
China → Vancouver → Toronto → US
Rail through Canada into Toronto, then truck to plants in Michigan and Ohio. Often faster than US West Coast ports in peak season.
Two-country buffer stock
Keep safety stock in both our warehouses and rebalance weekly between them based on actual demand.
