"Great Service is Just One Phone Call Away"

Ground Transportation




​Our trucking services start with prompt attention to our customers requests. Our experienced transportation team will quickly determine the most efficient way to move your freight and we will give you a firm, competitive rate quote. Then from the moment we pickup your freight, we manage the entire shipment dispatching, communicate with your agent for border clearance, and proactively trace your freight right through to a fast, on-time delivery.

Our goal is to offer a powerful combination of trucking services that we can customize to meet your company's unique freight requirements. We offer experienced LTL and truckload freight services, expedited & temperature controlled trucking services and if you have over dimensional or ultra heavy freight we can provide expert flatbed and heavy haul services. We will get your products to market quicker and we can deliver cost-effective solutions with a high degree of personalized service.


​What is the difference between LTL and Full Truckload shipping?

Full truckload shipping is for shippers that have enough cargo to fill an entire trailer and the pickup or delivery time is important to hit. LTL (less than truckload) shipping is for shippers with a cargo load that won’t fill an entire trailer and the loading and delivery times are flexible. Generally, full truckload is faster than LTL because the shipment goes directly to its destination whereas LTL shipments will make multiple stops before reaching the drop-off location.
We provide:
• Single item heavy freight.

• Palletized freight.

• Less than a truck load (LTL).

• Partial truck load freight (PTL).

• Full truck load freight (FTL).

• Rail freight.

​• Expedited freight.

​How much weight can a truck carry?

The average weight a driver of a truck and trailer combination is comfortable hauling is generally between 42,000 and 44,000 pounds. Dry vans are able to carry up to 45,000 pounds. For a full truckload shipment, it’s best to ask the carrier the weight capacity of the trailer to make sure you won’t be going over it with your shipment.

​How many pallets can a truck carry?

A truck can carry up to 30 standard pallets safely. Standard pallets are usually measured at 40” x 48”. Other pallets can be larger and require more advanced planning for full truckload shipping. ​
