Trucking Services in Canada — FTL & LTL
Full Truckload (FTL) and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) trucking across Canada and cross-border to the USA. Eztrans coordinates dry van, reefer, flatbed, and container drayage — a single contact for all your road freight, integrated with ocean and air shipments where needed.
Eztrans provides FTL and LTL trucking across all Canadian provinces and into the United States — dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, and container chassis. For importers, trucking is usually the final step in an ocean or air shipment: we dispatch the truck as part of the same shipment file, with pre-arranged cross-border customs if your cargo is going to or from the US.
The service
Road freight for Canadian importers covers FTL (one shipper's cargo fills the entire trailer) and LTL (multiple shippers share a trailer, priced by weight and freight class). For cross-border movements between Canada and the US, bonded carriers with FAST-approved drivers and pre-filed customs entries keep trucks flowing through ports of entry without delays.
How Eztrans handles it
Eztrans sources road capacity from owned tractors and contracted carriers across Canada. For cross-border shipments, our Ezcustoms team prepares PARS (Canada-bound) or ACE (US-bound) entries in advance so trucks don't wait at the border. When road freight is part of an ocean or air shipment, we dispatch the truck automatically as cargo clears customs — one team manages the handoff, not three separate vendors.
Common challenges
Where road freight goes wrong
- LTL freight classes are frequently disputed and re-rated at delivery, inflating the final invoice well above the original quote
- Cross-border shipments stall at the port of entry when customs documentation isn't filed in advance
- Reefer and flatbed capacity tightens unpredictably — shippers who don't have pre-arranged capacity get bumped in peak weeks
- Booking trucking separately from the ocean or air shipment creates scheduling gaps when vessel ETAs change
Process
How Eztrans dispatches your road freight
- 1
Quote by lane and equipment
We quote based on origin, destination, weight, dimensions, and equipment type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, container chassis). LTL quotes include freight class so there are no re-rate surprises.
- 2
Booking and carrier dispatch
We confirm the pickup window and dispatch the carrier. For ocean-connected shipments, we schedule drayage and final delivery together so the timeline aligns with customs release.
- 3
Cross-border customs (if applicable)
Our Ezcustoms team files PARS or ACE entries before the truck reaches the border. Carriers use our FAST-approved drivers on bonded lanes for uninterrupted crossing.
- 4
Transit and tracking
We track the shipment and proactively manage any delays — driver breakdown, weather hold, or appointment rescheduling — without you having to call to find out what happened.
- 5
Delivery and POD
Delivery is confirmed with proof of delivery (POD). We reconcile the invoice against the original quote — any discrepancies are resolved before you see the bill.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for Canadian importers evaluating freight forwarding, China–Canada shipping, and integrated logistics options.
What is the difference between FTL and LTL?
FTL (Full Truckload) means one shipper books an entire trailer — best for shipments over 12 pallets or when transit speed and security matter. LTL (Less-than-Truckload) means your freight shares a trailer with other shippers and is priced by weight, volume, and freight class — best for 1–10 pallets where you can accept slightly longer transit.
Do you handle cross-border US trucking?
Yes. We provide bonded cross-border trucking between Canada and all 48 contiguous US states. Our Ezcustoms team prepares PARS (northbound) and ACE (southbound) entries in advance so trucks clear the border without delays.
Can you handle refrigerated and flatbed shipments?
Yes. We dispatch refrigerated trailers for temperature-controlled freight (food, pharma, beverages) and flatbed/step-deck equipment for oversize, overweight, or non-stackable cargo such as machinery, construction materials, and solar panels.
Can trucking be combined with my ocean or air shipment?
Absolutely — that's the integrated freight forwarder model. When you book ocean or air freight with Eztrans, we automatically dispatch container drayage from the port and arrange final delivery (LTL or FTL) to your warehouse, all under one quote and one team.
